Our new Mabett Tailgate Anti-Theft Lock is now available!

It adds a physical barrier around the tailgate hinge area to help make quick tailgate removal more difficult, without changing how you normally use the tailgate.

Fitment Note

Fits 2024–2026 Toyota Tacoma. The protector uses the factory mounting point, with no drilling, cutting, or permanent modification required.

Small Details That Matter in Daily Use

Extra Protection at the Tailgate Hinge

The bracket sits around the factory tailgate hinge area and adds another physical obstacle to quick removal.

For owners who regularly park outside, travel, camp, or leave the truck in public parking areas, it’s a simple way to add another layer of security without changing the tailgate itself.

Open and Close the Tailgate as Usual

Once installed, the protector stays in place and does not interfere with normal tailgate operation.

There’s no need to remove it every time you open or close the tailgate.

Removal Tool Included

We also include a 10mm L-shaped socket wrench, so if you ever need to remove or adjust the protector, you already have the tool on hand.

The bracket itself is made from carbon steel with a black powder-coated finish for everyday outdoor use.

Would You Add This to Your Tacoma?

Would this be something you’d install for a little extra peace of mind when parking your Tacoma outside?

Looks like a copy of the Cali-raised I bought. As long as the coating is good I'd highly recommend either. Easy to install and remove as long as you have the security torx bit.

Everything looks like a copy of someone else's creation; you know what they say...imitation is the best form of flattery. I bought mine from Bobbercycle. It's roughly $20 more than Cali-raised and this one but it secures both the tailgate as well as the cable.

Just bought one! Hoping the powdercoat is good enough to prevent rusts👌

I put the same on my truck. Took off the bolt months later and cleaned rust off the washer.

Can't really tell if this will turn into a customer complaint yet. As you know, rust is pretty common.

Yes I get that. Water runs out right there so I should put some sort of grease or silicone spray to repel water.
Exactly. :like:
