Lexland Tailgate Inserts - Matte Black installed

[tacomasport1121]

Just got around to installing the Lexland Tacoma tailgate inserts. They look better than I expected, especially against the Underground paint.

Install was straightforward. I prepped the surface with an ONR wash followed by Gyeon Prep to make sure the adhesive had a clean surface to bond to. After installing, I let the truck sit out in the sun for a few hours to help everything set.

For the price, these are a great alternative to OEM. The letters do sit slightly raised off the tailgate, but I actually like the added depth. I think it gives it a more aggressive look.

Long-term durability is still to be determined, but so far I’m really happy with how they turned out.

I can understand the aesthetic appeal, but the raised letters on the tailgate of other trucks I’ve owned have always been a real pain in the butt. The edges collect trail grime and wax. It’s time consuming to clean. I’m a fan of the Toyota imprinted metal. Easy clean up!
