LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! I am a 54yr old housewife and needed to get this lock installed on my daughters 2015 Tacoma 4x4. It was Christmas eve and we were getting ready for a blizzard here in Oklahoma. My husband wasnt going to make it home in time before the blizzard and she was going to leave for San Diego in a day. I decided to tackle it myself in that the theft of tailgates for the Tacoma in CA is huge they told her. She is in the Navy and the vehicle is parked a lot. This was great and easy and very informative. THANKS SO MUCH! I DID IT!
+Kristi Chavez I hope you survived the weather down there! We are just about to get hit ourselves. So glad that the video was helpful and all worked out. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us! Hope you have a Happy Holiday season!
Installing along while watching took about 20 minutes. Thank you very much for this instructional video. Handle looks awesome and a little extra peace of mind from thieves.
This video helped me get the job done very quickly. Read the instructions, watched the video and 20 minutes I was done. I had an extra complexity. My tailgate was locked and closed with a broken latch so sliding the back plate off was impossible. After taking the screws off I managed to pry open a gab just enough to use a screw driver to flip the latch inside opening the tailgate. Then the plate slid off as shown and I could finish the job.
Excellent vid and demonstration, used it entirely for the installation in my 2012 Tacoma TRD Sport. The only part that made me sweat a little was when I inserted the key at the very end and it turned only 5 degrees clockwise and wouldn’t keep rotating, I thought “ah damn, really?” but went counter clockwise and then rotated clockwise ~ 180 degrees & then stopped. I checked it several times and it was GTG. Hopefully it lasts. Contrary to a lot of what I’ve read, parts were well made and finish was perfectly fine, not “cheap” as some have described on forums.
+boogie3478 Update: I'm reinstalling my factory tailgate handle. This Pop N Lock gets stuck easily if warmed by the sun, making it very difficult to open the tailgate.
+boogie3478 If your handle is still under warranty, please contact Pop&Lock Customer Service. We have made changes to some design which could help with the issue. Our Tech Support or Customer Services can be reached at (800)342-5911
The gasket from the old one doesn't line up with the new one and it's missing a bunch of plastic pins to secure the gasket. Also you can see daylight through the tailgate it doesn't fit perfectly. Not impressed with the quality.
@Pop & Lock LLC about 2 years ago i bout a pop and lock for my 2014 toyota tacoma, and i just found out that, the lock with the remote control even tho is lock you can still open it pulling on the lever twice. I need to know how can this issue get fix. Thank you @ Pop & Lock LLC
I order this exact model for my 2011 TRD sport Toyota Tacoma. However, my back up camera (model number - 86790-04010) did not fit the insert made on this pop and lock model. Any suggestions on what I can do to make it fit or what pop and lock I should be looking at to fit this? Thanks! Great video by the way!
Hi Alvaro, would you mind reaching out to our Tech support team? They should be able to suggest a fix or help understand why you are experiencing this. --> technicalsupport@popandlock.net
Easy install and worked until the internal pin broke resulting in no way to get into my locked truck with a cover on the back. Reading the reviews on Amazon I see a LOT of people have had an issue with the plastic pin used in this lock failing. Complete waste of money!
Mine only worked for 2 years, then wouldn't lock. Took it apart and cleaned, lubricated and tightened it up and worked again but only for a month. I happened to be on a trip and needed it to lock. Wouldn't recommend it. One tacoma forum recommended the pl5500 instead which supposedly works better.
I must add, that the Pop & Lock does not feel as durable as the factory so I told her to hang on to the old one just incase it wore out, but it does work. Time will tell.
Really appreciated!
I installed it on my 2014 Tacoma truck yesterday. Great video!

I don’t even have a truck. I’m just here for the music!
My 2013 had T 27 torque bolts, video was very helpful.
Great instructional video, did it on my 2013 Taco and works great, handle could be better and ticker, feels so fragile but at least it works
The bolts on a 2010 Tacoma are T30 (not T35).

I think there's a typo at 4:45, it says "lock is not fully coded and ready for everyday use" They probably meant "now". Cheers
Thank you for the feedback. I will make the necessary changes.

Just installed this, has an OEM feel. Hopefully it lasts as long as the truck
how's it working out for you after 4 years?
@@phambao14 I also wanna know. I see a lot of reviews about it being flimsy.

Hi there! Please shoot a message to our Tech Support team at technicalsupport@popandlock.net. They will be able to help you trouble shoot :)
Video was great.
Thank you
why flip the rod? I did it anyways but didn't make sense... I have a new model tailgate with camera
Because it will touch the lock key.
love the product. anyone have suggestions on how to seal the small space between handle and the tailgate?
+Ivanross Sumayang I would say some clear outdoor caulking that adheres to plastic and metal. Your hardware store should be able to tell you.
Reinstall factory latch
do you have a video out on the 2017 ridgeline i see you guys just came up with the lock
i guess it would be similar install of this video

What model fits the a 2013 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Off Road?
We have several models that will work: PL5400 (BOLT codeable), PL5500, PL8521 (power lock) and PL5540 (BOLT combo power kit)
printed instructions mention a T30 driver, not T35
Thank you for the feedback. I will make the necessary changes.
@@PopandLock Can confirm it takes a T30 on my 2013 Tacoma, not T35. Thanks for the great video though.

I was on the verge of ordering this one but lots of reviews about being flimsy and eventually breaking usually within just 2 years..

BOUGHT ONE THROUGH AMAZON
INSTALLING IT THIS WEEK
THE BUILD QUALITY IS CHEAP AND FLIMSY
IT WAS $87.XX OVER $90 AFTER TAX
TOTAL RIPOFF
