Your video really made installation a snap! Great shots under the truck. When feeding the cable past the gas tank I worked from the outside of the truck near the left rear wheel well and pulling the rubber mud flap back to feed the line before resuming back under the truck. I ended up using a repurposed cat wand (minus the feathers) instead of a fish-tape and it worked like a charm!

I am so glad my 2023 had this as a dealer/ factory option.

I’m actually glad my 2023 Off Road 4x4 didn’t because they would have prob charged me $800+ for it as a port option add-on. I ordered a genuine OEM Toyota tailgate lock for like $120 bucks shipped. The installation was so easy I was ashamed I didn’t do it sooner. Took me not even an hour to do. Really this should have come standard on SR5’s & up

Great video! Did you tape up all those extra connections where you connected the 2 wires to? What are all of those even for?

Can you tell from the Instrument cluster if you forget the tailgate open? Will this kit allow you to know if you left the tailgate open?
@ProjectsWithMatt2 ай бұрын
Unfortunately this does not do that. I use the backup camera to tell if I left it open.

Did not see the wire being put through grommet and did you secure the connection in the tailgate so it doesn’t rattle? Good video, thanks
@ProjectsWithMatt11 ай бұрын
Nope, I just used the grommet. I’m sure it’s rattling around in there, I’ll have to open the tailgate and see.

looks like there might not be a kit for a 2024 tacoma. I have a SR and it doesn't have the power tailgate and the setup looks different

I don’t believe anyone has made an aftermarket kit for the 2024 tacoma. Hopefully soon!
@jhive237 күн бұрын
@@ProjectsWithMatt it’s ok so far. My ford ranger 2021 had a cozier feel and more features for lower price but had to try the Tacoma. I’m a little worried how the 4 cylinder will hold up long term

How did you put the rubber grommet back in with the wire to prevent water from getting inside?
@ProjectsWithMatt Жыл бұрын
I assume you are talking about on the underside? I ended up using some caulking to make sure it’s water tight. I used metal roofing caulk.

Passing the wire over the fuel tank is tricksy, I used my Klein tool fish sticks and one long continuous stream of expletives which when coupled made for entertainment for passers by and eventually saw the wire to the front driver door area.
