    I am looking for a plate for my 21 Tacoma. Mobtown Offroad is sold out. Are there any other good options in the same price range?

    I'd contact Mobtown, it says out of stock, but they probably make these to order since they're lower volume. Looks like they put the full wrap around one back on their site, it's awesome.

    Do these replace the stock panel, or bolt over it?

    This one replaces the stock panel and the plastic piece on top of the tailgate. They make one just to replace the panel and another company makes one from metal, as well.

    There's a few plastic ones out there, but they're not stronger than the OEM, probably less.

    The problem for me for the top piece is that it won't seal correctly with my tonneau cover

    That may be an issue, I think it's a lower profile than the oem plastic piece

    Can any of these fit under the factory plastic one, or are they replacement only?

    I'm considering my options for one of these. My only reasoning would be to eliminate the ridges on the stock tailgate so I can get in and out without busting my kneecaps.
