Description

The factory Toyota Tacoma tailgate panel features rough, ribbed plastic that is punishing on your knees when crawling into the bed and leaves your camp stoves, tools, or trail beverages constantly tipping over. It also wastes a massive amount of completely hollow space inside the tailgate structure itself. The Bullet Proof Fabricating Toyota Tacoma Tailgate Storage Panel converts that unutilized void into a secure, integrated storage compartment while providing a perfectly flush workspace. CNC laser-cut from lightweight 1/8-inch aluminum, this panel adds valuable security for your trail essentials without overloading your factory tailgate cables.

Key Features

Integrated Hidden Storage: Transforms the empty inner cavity of your tailgate into an out-of-sight, lockable compartment for tools and recovery gear.
Flushed Camp Workspace: Replaces uneven plastic ribbing with a smooth, completely flat surface that acts as a stable workbench or camp kitchen prep station.
Lightweight Aluminum Plate: Constructed from 1/8-inch aluminum to maintain structure and support your weight while adding only 11 lbs to the tailgate assembly.
Dual Lockable Paddle Latches: Equipped with secure, flush-mounted locking latches to keep your items safe from opportunistic theft when the tailgate is up.
Raw Finish Versatility: Ships in a clean, raw aluminum state, allowing you to run it bare or apply a custom textured bedliner coating to match your truck bed.

What's Included

(2) Black Powder-Coated Locking Paddle Latches
(2) Security Keys
Stainless Steel Installation Hardware

Pro Tip: Because the tailgate sits outside the primary weather seal of most tonneau covers and canopies, fine trail dust and heavy rain can occasionally work their way into the inner tailgate cavity. We always recommend applying a layer of sound-deadening mat inside the tailgate shell during installation to eliminate metal-on-metal tool rattle, and storing sensitive gear inside weather-resistant pouches within the compartment.

Specifications

Vehicle Compatibility

2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2005-2015), 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2016-2023)
Technical Specifications
- Material: 1/8-inch CNC laser-cut aluminum.
- Weight: 11 lbs.
- Hardware: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel fasteners.
- Finish: Raw aluminum.
Installation Information
- DIY Difficulty: Moderate
- Installation Notes: This upgrade is a permanent modification that requires cutting out a section of the factory inner sheet metal structure to clear the storage box pocket. The 3rd Gen models require careful measuring and sheet metal trimming, while the 2nd Gen layout requires slightly less intensive modification. A rotary cutting tool or air saw, safety glasses, and deburring files are required for proper installation.
- Professional Support: If you prefer not to cut into your truck’s factory sheet metal at home, our technicians can execute a clean, precision installation at our Surrey, BC shop.
