    Heavy Duty Tailgate Cap on sale now!

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

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

    Tie Down Loops (x2 included with every tailgate cap):
    - 3/16" CNC lasercut stainless steel
    - M6 Cad-plated hardware

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

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

    **The added weight will cause the tailgate to come down faster. It is recommended that you help the tailgate lower gently until the cables support the weight.**

    **Production on hold until further notice**

    Are all the screws countersunk? Wondering how it would work with a bakflip cover?

    All but the 2 outermost screws on top are countersunk. The way Toyota assembles the tailgates, makes those 2 hole locations very difficult to predict.

    You can leave those out if desired, there are still 7 other screws holding it together.

    Should work fine with any bed cover/shell. The top is completely flush with the bedside caps.

    We're now including 2 optional Tie-Down Loops with every order, free of charge!

    They're great for securing loads that rest on top of your tailgate and/or securing ramps when loading motorcycles and other equipment.

    This was one of my favorite mods for my Tacoma. I noticed the little lip is removed like the stock one has and it's just flat. Can you provide some pictures of it from the rear with the gate closed @WSDMetal ?

    Thanks

    This. Looks like there's a decent amount of interest in an aluminum version, including me.

    He said he was having some issues getting the aluminum version done, I much prefer no product then a sub par product. He knows there is interest and I'm sure he's still working on it, there's just issues on the production side that we don't see.
