Toyota Tacoma Remote Locking Tailgate Mod | Pop & Lock Plug and Play Install

In this video, I install a 100% plug-and-play Toyota Tacoma Remote Locking kit on my Gen 3. This is an out-of-the-box kit that requires no splicing and is extremely easy. If you are on the fence about getting one, check out this video!

Incredibly informative video, my guy! I'm ordering one right friggin now. Why didnt you film the part where you tested it for the first time, stepped back and just "WOO" 'd. I get a huge serotonin rush from projects like this

[@Mr_Ja3]

Very detailed, something I want to do in the near future. Thanks for sharing! *However your audio drops off, I have to jack it up to 70%, & I never go beyond 30%.

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Thanks for the feedback! At what time does the audio drop off?

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Good luck with your project!

[@homesearch5064]

The double camera shot is really cool!

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Thanks!

I bought a long ass 3-4 ft Philips screwdriver just for wire fishing 😂 with tape to hold the wire into the screwdriver and fish it through.

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!

Hey! Did you leave the grommet out? Are you *trying* to let rodents into your truck? 🤣

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

I put the grommets back in! :)

[@seanmarrs]

wondering if you had to disconnect the battery before you installed? thanks!

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Nope, no need. its plug and play!

[@RodBarnard]

You didn’t explain how to get new lock programmed to your existing key fob.

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

The new lock runs off the existing key fobs programming

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

[@GraV21]

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

[@tonygarcia3749]

Wow l always wanted installed one in my truck just looking at the vidio l think lm going to do it Thank's

[@garrettlowe8431]

This video was the perfect tutorial for my installation. Thank you for making this!

[@rrrttt1112]

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

[@scottbarringer435]

Can you post a link to the kit you used and installed. Thanks

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Thanks for watching and the suggestion!!!Here is the link: POP & LOCK - Power Tailgate Lock... www.amazon.com/dp/B08T59YR22?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@scottbarringer435]

Thanks. I just ordered me one and will use your video to install it.

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

@scottbarringer435 awesome! Let me know how your install goes!

[@justinryan1488]

What would you Connect to the extra ports there though?

[@scottstrong4787]

really informative video dude! I appreciated you going into some little details other videos kind of skip over. I'm installing this tomorrow, new sub!

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Glad I could help!

[@gregoryhaines1138]

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

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

Nope, I just used the grommet. I’m sure it’s rattling around in there, I’ll have to open the tailgate and see.

[@nersoe54]

How did you put the rubber grommet back in with the wire to prevent water from getting inside?

[@ProjectsWithMatt]

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.

[@richardlopez9305]

They come like that already. You wasted your money. Mine already has that feature.
