Basically I am very satisfied!

So wild. I was able to install in about an hour. Watch the YouTube video along with the installation guide sent to you. I found the videos helped a little. The hardest part was probably stretching the wire underneath. The lock works great with a key or remote and seems much more secure than my previous lock. Basically I am very satisfied!

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great product for 1 year

This product was fantastic on my 13 year old Tacoma. However, after a year of use, the plastic handle has deteriorated significantly. Instead of being black like it was when I first got it, it's now gray and brittle. The stock grip I removed has been worn for over 5 years and looks a lot better than this product. Installation is easy and the locking mechanism works great, but if you're looking for something that looks good and will last, look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Truck Body & Tailgate Accessory
Cons
  • Nothing

Pretty easy to install

Overall pretty easy to install. Just take your time going through the instructions and you will get there. It took a few tools. For me it was a 10mm socket wrench, 1 allen wrench, cable tie cutter and a knife. Some things you may want to know if you own a 2005 Tacoma Double Cab, 4x4 (or equivalent). Running short wires (to power the lock) through the tailgate drain holes probably won't work. Not for me. To do this I had to remove the plastic cover from the pins (still stuck). Next, try not to…

Pros
  • Tailgate locks
Cons
  • Big and bulky
