Stolen Tailgates

[Cali Raised LED]

Jake from Cali Raised LED here. The factory lock doesn't stop this. Thieves drop the gate and lift it off the hinge in seconds.
Our Tailgate Theft Protector for 2024+ Tacoma ($29.99) shields the passenger-side tailgate hinge so the gate can't be lifted off.

• Laser-cut 304 stainless steel, uncoated (no paint needed).
• Tamper-resistant security bolt plus the matching bit. Keep the bit for future removal.
• Under 10 minutes using a factory mounting point. No drilling or cutting.
• Fits 2024-2027 Tacoma, all trims, including Trailhunter and power tailgates. Works with OEM and aftermarket bumpers.
• It's a hinge lock, not a handle lock. Many owners run both.

For some of us with trucks going back for a while, a $0,99 clamp works and still does wanders.

I went with a little simpler solution . I think it's a 1 3/4-2 1/2 " Stainless hose clamp. It's not gonna stop someone but it will slow them down.

Excellent solution. I just happened to have a 1 3/4 clamp laying around and I tried it. Works great. Thieves aren't going to rummage through their toolbox and waste time on this. They'll just move on.

You can turn the clamp around and live the screw under and out of view.

I'd like to purchase a lock but your site doesn't ship to Canada?

Jake from Cali Raised LED here. PUMPKINKING, you're right, sorry about that. Our own parts, including the Tailgate Theft Protector, only ship within the US right now, so checkout won't take a Canadian address. Questions: [email protected] or 888-385-5036.
