    SaBellCo's Tailgate Lock :), Cable mod
    Getting caught up on replies after my son was hit by a motorcycle while walking in Rome and being out of the country for almost a month.

    But actually compared to a battery holder bracket, CB antenna mount or devils horn the price is very competitive. Not sure they take as long to machine and how complex the machining and tooling is. With the cost of materials going up we have tried to keep the price the same. Shipping went up a little because every order is insured when purchased from our site.

    Can tell you we have had a few people call in the last two days who already had their tailgate stolen. $2500 to replace or find someone's on craigs list. One person told me 30 have been stolen in his area. We try to make a quality part and provide a good value and maintain a good relationship with each person who buys one. Yes there are other less expensive products out there and we do respect the builders who make them. It really boils down to what each person feels is good enough. To date over the last 2 1/2 years we have not heard of a tailgate with our lock installed getting stolen to include Tundra, F150, 2005 to 2015 Tacoma's and the first with a real lock the 2016+ Tacoma.

    I sleep well at night knowing they will have to work real hard to get my tailgate and yours for those who have bought one. Thanks again for allowing us to continue to our journey. The demand has far exceeded our expectations and we are always working to keep up.

    the designs are a bit different. the 16"s are 8 spoke with one hole per spoke. the 17"s are 6 spoke with 2 holes per spoke. both styles look good.

    With the combination showing on the lock you just turn the knob and the lid springs open. My Serpa holster is rigid mounted to the side of the vault at an angle for easy draw. It's one fluid movement. The person that I hope I never have to draw it on would chit their pants if they saw just how fast I could point this at their vitals. The one drawback of any of the three is that you are limited by size. My PPKS works perfectly mounted to the side. There is a thread for this and this particular way to mount it. You'll have to search but you'll be impressed how clean and well done it is. It will also help you determine what size handgun is feasible to use with the vault. If you are going into a bank, post office or any federal building this will secure your weapon. Sometimes you just have to leave it behind and this is probably among the most secure options. Just some food for thought. Search for that thread it will be worth the effort.

    I've got one and love it. Even if they get by my locked BakFlip MX4 they still don't get the tailgate. They ain't cheap but they are well made and much less expensive than a new tailgate. It's a great product!

    Man that's great. I could put a couple of Raspberry pi in there with Xbox wireless controllers and screens in the headset.

    Load every, NES, SNES, Sega and Atari game ever.

    Somehow I believe "Custer's Revenge" would be what everyone checks out first.

    So I figured it out. Was a little tired and brain wasn't functioning ...lol. I had it named correct but it wasn't in a "folder". I was trying to install just the JPG that's why it wouldn't read the flash drive. Was racking my brain and it finally came to me. I'll be alright....maybe. :frusty:

    I installed the Amp Research Bed Step. They sell 2 models, one for the 05-15 Tacomas, and one for the 16+ (75317-01A). I believe Toyota is selling the original Amp version to fit all models, which it does. I spoke to Amp, and they developed a new bracket to better match the bumper lines on the new trucks. It seems to sit tighter to the bumper. I've got the step in the recommended outward position, although you can shift in in about an 1" or so (but you loose toe clearance to deploy the step). As an older guy, it's a big help getting in the bed. Installation is more difficult then anticipated, as everything should be tight before attaching it to the truck (lesson learned).
