Let’s be honest without this video it wouldn’t be so easy. I appreciate it so much! Best instructions on KZfaq for this install. 5 stars! Thanks

This vid is way better than the one Pop & Lock has. As always, you do a great job explaining the install process. You do a good job of not assuming people know things while not overly dumbing it down.

Few comments for those with a 2016 taco limited. Great video btw, would have taken me MUCH longer to complete without you helping so thanks a lot. I had to modify the grommets from the kit to fit snugly in the tailgate. They have this little knotch in the bottom I had to widdle away with a knife and a side cutters. The rubber grommet used for the running the wiring into the cab; its further in under the carpet in the driver's side rear. I drilled a 9/16 bit then forced it through. I still put a small bead of silicone on underneath. I tried running the t harness to the connectors in the pillar like in the video, but harness doesn't fit those connectors. I ended up running it to kick panel. I had about a foot left of wire so all good there. Fun little project!

Hey chloe, nice video! Its a very useful mod which i did on my 2016 tacoma, i bought an unbranded motor though and its working great for about 3 years now, one hint for everyone and even you, i did the wiring on the passangers door so the actuator isnt locking and unlocking everytime you step in or out of the truck, only difference is you have to press twice on the key fob to unlock the tailgate. Keep up the good work!

@rildain76 Жыл бұрын

Man, that’s a great idea. Wish I would have read this before I ran the harness all the way past the fuel tank. That was a serious pain in the butt. 😢 Update: I undid all the work to run the harness to the driver’s door and rerouted to the passenger’s door and then the Pop&Lock actuator wouldn’t work. Now I wish I hadn’t seen your post at all, lol.

Good video which gave me a pretty good idea of how to do this, I'd definitely say that routing it around the gas tank was the biggest challenge, there's a 18" or so segment I had to use a fishing tape reel to get the cable through.

My truck is a 2023 Tacoma double cab (4-door) with 5 foot bed. I didn't use the tailgate wiring harness. The body wiring harness was long enough with about 8 inches to spare. This way I didn't need to have the two harnesses connecting under the truck.

I went with the “OEM” kit, since it wasn’t back ordered. Only complaint is it was a royal pain to get the wiring connectors through the grommet hole. But then afterwards, having a beer, it dawned on me: “Hey dummy, should’ve run them down through the floor instead of up from underneath, yeah it would’ve meant more wire pulling, but would’ve saved you a lot of cussing.”

This is one of my favorite mods. I ended up tapping into the rear door locks, so the hatch locks on a double click only. This will help with wear and tear, as well as, keep the noise to a minimum. The pop and lock can be loud, but the noise can be remedied with some sound deadener around the actuator. Thanks for the great videos. Please keep them coming.
