    Howdy. Does anyone know of any aftermarket tailgate cap options for the 2017 TRD Pro? My tailgate has a small dent that the stock cap doesnt quite come down far enough to cover and body shop is way too much to repair it and even said because of where it is, it may not be repairable - meaning whole new tailgate. They recommended finding an aftermarket cap that can cover it. I was thinking surely there is something available in diamondplate or the like. Any ideas or links would be greatly appreciated!

    Interesting and thanks. The link I provided about seems to be “Tundra specific”, which is why I was curious the person above unequivocally confirmed there was nothing Tundra specific. Not sure what to think...

    I stand corrected. That price by air design is relatively new it says it works it should. Not sure how durable it is I would give it a shot. Def more money than making something yourself but it should be simple to do. The one that @CMB posted looks good as well

    Here's one that we're working on for 3rd gens!

    Materials & Construction:
    - 3/16" thick steel plate
    - CNC lasercut & bent
    - countersunk stainless steel hardware
    - outdoor rated polyurethane foam gasket

    Finish:
    - textured black powdercoat
    - black color-matched screws

    100% American-made in Southern California and completely bolt-on/off.

    You will be able to rest lumber, pipe, kayaks and whatever else you want on your tailgate without ruining the top of the tailgate. The cap attaches to the tailgate at 9 points to distribute loads evenly across the top and inside.

    Pricing & shipping will be available in about a week. Free local pick-up in Huntington Beach or Glendale, CA.

    That doesn't seem to cover all that the original cover did. Mine is pretty chewed up and I've been looking for a replacement.
