Be aware - Installation of the tailgate assist requires removal of the factory tie-down bracket on the driver's side of the gate which interferes with the strut. But it's a shame to lose a tie-down point. I made a replacement tie-down for mine. Works well...

Johnkn - I've sent a direct msg your way.

After your installation, something now looks missing in this picture. For the factory tie down bracket that had to be removed from the tailgate - there are options for a replacement tie down point that works with the strut. I have one available that I make and sell. Works well and clears...

It's been 2-1/2 years since I took it apart so I don't recall the details of specific fasteners. Best thing to always do is to get a flashlight and peek behind a panel as you pull pull it away from the vehicle slightly. Often that allows you to see where the fasteners are and the direction that...

What makes it not printable? Can you say where you bought it from, so that none of us also spend money on that same model that's not printable?

Welcome! You're going to love the truck. And the MPGs compared to the Tacoma. When it's time to install your tailgate strut, you'll find that the factory tie down bracket on that side of the gate needs to be removed or it interferes with the strut. There are options for a replacement tie down...

@RichardCranium - it's been a while, you ever end up finalizing something? This ended up being a need for me, so I ended up making this: I do like your design though, would definitely minimize material and print time. I used slats because there's quite a variety of button configurations...

I have an XL. The fob has a silver button sticking out of it. I press it, and the key flips out of the side of it. An XLT doesn't have that?

Think about the days before we had remote locking via keyfob. This might be a dumb question... but have you tried locking/unlocking it with the KEY itself and not the fob? At least it's a workaround until the electronic issue gets addressed. When you're about to exit the vehicle, push the...

The tailgate assist that I bought was one of the cheaper noname ones off Amazon. Two years in and no problems other than its fasteners rusting (aargh). Needed? No. but I appreciate it every time I open the gate. I can open it with one finger when my hands/arms are full, and it works to prevent...

Not to hijack this thread - but what does this mean? Please elaborate. If there is a rear impact and damage up to that point, it won't be repaired and it will be considered totalled? Is that what you mean?

Might be me? For the factory tie down bracket that had to be removed from the tailgate - there are several options for a replacement tie down point that works with the strut. I have one available that I make and sell. Works well and clears the new strut and no issues with the cable. And made...

Henry - I've sent a direct msg your way. Yes, brackets continue to be available. Thanks!

I've had a Truxedo Pro for 2 years now, love it as well. After your installation, something now looks missing in this picture. For the factory tie down bracket that had to be removed from the tailgate - there are options for a replacement tie down point that works with the strut. I have one...

Welcome! Congrats on the purchase. I love my XL hybrid as well. For the factory tie down bracket that had to be removed - there are options for a replacement tie down point that works with the strut. I have one available that I make and sell. Works well and clears the new strut and no...

Forum member @MakinDoForNow shared a photo that's the best illustration to date that I've seen, which shows the value of having the two tailgate mounted tie-down points available. That tie down point is there because someday, it will be necessary. The tailgate strut is a worthwhile...

My Rok Block has now been in place for 2 years and has held up well. My initial concern was whether the adhesive holding it on can handle temperature extremes, but it's been great through two WI winters so far. More info on it in my build thread here. Worth every penny, IMO. Yes, the...

Oh no, something is now missing from this photo: Don't let the addition of the tailgate strut mean you lose a tie-down point. In addition to replacements you might find on Amazon, I have an option available also that I make and sell. Works well and...

If I recall correctly, I believe the caps need to be mounted over stock lugnuts due to the way the clips on the back of the cap hold on to them. I'd be surprised if the caps would work over aftermarket lugnuts, unless the new lugnuts were the exact shape and size of the stockers.
