What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

at this point I’m kind of proud of the cobbled together bullshit that I’m pulling off so I might just keep going that direction

 

I have it mounted on the corner of my plate bumper

 

Nice

 

Any noticable improvement?

 

Yes, but like the rest of you my mechanism has the side to side play so I still have movement, just not as much. I was going to see about fitting a washer behind the 10mm bolt, but I needed to get the kids to bed. The bolt is tight and I didn’t want to force it any further. I’ll mess with that later.

 

Is your tailgate kind tight in the last few inches to close? I got one of those from somewhere else and man I have to slam the tailgate to get it close the last bit otherwise it sticks out about an inch or two

Nope, so far it's smooth as silk.

 

Yeah @Nimitz_ you may want to hit up any of the people who replaced theirs with the cutting board thingy, or full-bed HDPE covering. I think @daveeasa did, and maybe @oscardog86 too?

 

Awesome, thanks dude!

 

I have @daveeasa's tailgate panel thingy. Still haven't gotten around to installing it.

 

I like your dual locking system.

 

Yeah mine doesn’t come open going down a dirt road…..

 

I haven’t tried that product but I’ve bought the door check repair from that seller. I’ve been pleased with them so far and he is local-ish to me so I support his shop when I can.
