A friend of mine said there is a Tacoma website, and looks similar I found it!
Great info hither - give thanks y'all to all the contributors.

My tailgate is dented (meet pic), and the toll to replace west a new one, paint etc is high.

I'1000 considering buying this accessory (see other motion picture) which fits over the tailgate and might encompass over the damage. Of course I'd have to blindside out the dent as best I can commencement. Anyone try this before? Think information technology might work?

I'd contact a paintless paring repair specialist in your area first. If they can't ready it I'd just turn it in on my insurance. Shit happens and that'due south what insurance is for.

I've institute there is no time constructive way to run into if salvage yards accept a Tacoma tailgate. None of the yards nigh me list their available vehicles online - and so I guess 1 has to bulldoze from yard to yard w fingers crossed?
