Just installed this on my friends Tacoma, and we did it in roughly an hour. The new version comes with provided plastic tabs, so no drilling is required. This is stupid easy to do.
THANK YOU! This was a very informative video. The R4T kit that I received didn't have any instructions or references to online instructions. My kit did include replacement clips for the tailgate and bed - so drilling the existing clips was unnecessary. A note for other viewers: the zip ties are not included. There was also a small hardware bag that included two lock washers and a bolt and lock nut that I had no idea where it was supposed to be used,
Same here. Got extra clips with holes already. Bought the zip ties. The screw with the lock washers and the nut, stays in the bag. I’ve no clue what to do with it.
I installed my today. The installation is as easy as the video shows. Everything works flawlessly. I watched this video about 3 times before I started though to be sure I followed all the steps. The plug-and-play harness makes this so much better than having to splice wires. When you are drilling the holes in the plastic clips in the bed...hold on tight to them while drilling.
Just installed mine. With help of spousal unit. Got it for Father’s Day. Was pretty straightforward. I have a bad leg do she did all under truck stuff. Worked right off. Mine was also an apparently even more updated version with new plastic wire brackets. No drilling required. Great product and great price.
Just got done installing this and super happy with it! As the previous post, the video is great. One thing I’d suggest is the grommet underneath the carpet is very soft and easily removed and reinstalled so I was able to shove the wires in one at a time. I just didn’t want to make a hole in it. I plan on routing my CB antenna cable and power for other accessories later on. Again, a great product!
Just install your updated version on my 17’ Off-Road 👍👍, VERY easy to install, largely do to your fantastic instructional video. Would recommend this to anyone who is wondering about quality and or ease of installation.
Just wanted to say what a helpful video this was. I ordered this kit last Saturday and it was delivered this morning. Using this video as a guide, I managed to install this in my 2017 in less than 90 minutes. From the service to the quick delivery to the well organized installation video, these guys sure know how to treat their customers. And the fact that they support and honor the military has made me a lifelong customer. Great job!
Just installed this on my '19 and this video made it super easy. It took roughly an hour to complete. The two included pieces for the tailgate and truck bed made it so I didn't need to drill holes in the original ones. The lock washer was a great added bonus. Thank you for making the informative video and a great product.
I’ve never done any kind of work on my truck at all, but I really wanted this so I gave it a shot. Watched the video three times to understand everything and then went to work. No problems at all and the installation process was exactly what the video showed so no confusion at any step. I didn’t jack up my truck and it wasn’t an issue. Thanks! 2017 Tacoma limited
4-5 months ago. Just sign up for the email notifications for when they’re back in stock and order it right away when you get the notification! That’s how I snagged one. They do sell out quick
@@quinnv2434 I did do that. I just thought bc your post was 9 days old, that maybe u just got it and that the "out of stock" message was just recent and hopefully short lived. I'll wait patiently for their notification.
Fantastic product, but wanted to include my installation experience for anyone who may find it useful. My kit arrived with the uppermost aluminum arm being installed incorrectly. The arm was installed on the “top” of the actuator arm instead of the correct orientation on the bottom of the actuator arm. Easy enough to fix with a wrench and screwdriver, but again wanted to share my experience. Not too sure if this is a QC issue, but otherwise very satisfied with my purchase. Cheers R4T.
Man awesome. I love the plug n play and no hack job. Being a tech for over 20 years I would definitely not have barked cuss words of the harness install.
I just received mine. Took me about 40 minutes following this video. So far it works great. Locks with the first click on the key fob and unlocks with the second click with the passengers doors, as it should.
Just finished installing. So nice to fob lock the gate. These instructions made it simple and I’m not mechanically inclined. If you’ve been off reading through mud, clean the underside before running the wire, or wear eyewear to avoid dried mud dust. Awesome product!
Ordered it, got it a couple of days ago, installed this morning. Very easy install (thank you for the video) very happy with it. The piece of mind and convenience was worth the $141 (sales tax/shipping). I have the Pace-Edward role bed cover, nice to know I can secure gear. (I know if they want it, they’ll get into it, but they’re gonna have work at it). One thing I did that isn’t in the video was to check the connectors on the harness before the install to ensure they were secure beforehand. Well worth, thank you R4T!
Just installed this on a 2020 Tacoma Trd sport. Followed the instructions and the lock was functioning in reverse meaning pressing the lock button on the fob unlocked the tailgate and vice versa. Had to plug the green wire into the blue and blue wire into the green at the harness inside the truck to solve the issue. Not a big deal…enjoying the product…just an fyi should anyone run into the same issue. Cheers
Just bought a 2021 Taco and immediately thought of this upgrade. Thanks man, I have been watching a bunch of your videos and find them real informative. Suggestion. I visited your store but the anytime camera link was not there, (Yeh ,watched that video too) so you need to update (you're losing money). You have a great gift of explaining things. Keep making your videos, I'm subscribed. Thanks
Just installed this on my Tacoma, great instructional video and thanks for putting zip ties in the order as well, everything is well put together into one easy package. Really fantastic!
Thanks for the easy install; finally was able to get one and put in today. Works great, not loud at all and super quick to put in!! You guys are awesome love ordering from you!
Wow! This is a lot easier and quieter. I just installed my second Pop and Lock into a Tacoma yesterday and I love it. I hated the noise at first, but now I really enjoy it. Thanks for making this much easier option available.
Finally plug and play yeah I refuse to cut any of my stock wires on my truck that's were mistakes are made I want my electrical to last as long as possible
I just installed this kit. I could see that I needed more clearance to fit the wire protectors at the tailgate and the bed. I rigged a small platform with a piece of plywood and a bench. The plywood rested on the bumper and the bench. I partially removed the tailgate on the passenger side, angled it rearward several inches, and laid it on the platform. The extra three inches of space made this part of the job much easier.
FYI, mine came with the top aluminum bracket mounted to the right side of the plunger instead of the left side so it wouldn’t line up with the black tabs. It’s very simple to swap it to the correct side but just be aware of this if it isn’t lining up for you. After that everything worked perfectly.
Just got mine installed. Installation went well. Mine came with a few extra parts. Mine included the two plastic wire holders with holes for two wires. One for the tailgate and one for the bed. These replaced the ones that you drill through. My kit also had an extra bolt along with a nut. Also had two pushnuts. Wasn't sure what these were for. I used one of the pushnuts on the plastic pin that the actuator attaches to. Looked like the actuator could come off the stud pretty easily. I think the pushnut will hold this on well.
You guys made the tailgate lock the way Pop N Lock should have! If your lock had been available in 2018, I would have one now. Kind of hope the Pop N Lock I have will break, somI can give you some business. Great job!
That's what I'm going to get. Extra $40 is worth it for OEM, cleaner plug and play, plus comes with heat shielding, and new clips and grommets for the cables.
@@xxxxMaddnesSxxxx yeah if you have a 2020 or 21 the tailgate lock and bed lights are two things you should do yourself and save yourself the dealer cost
Thank you. I just installed it on my 2021 Taco and works awesome. Took me 30 mins and i was done. It pissed me off to having to use my key to open the back. It's a bit pricey but it beats using a key 50 times a day when u work outside and work out of your truck. Thanks
@@Runnin4Tacos Thank you again. However, just a bit ticked now. 2 months after purchasing this, the lock works only 10% of the time. I checked all wires, and nothing wrong. The lock will no longer lock/unlock the tailgate 90% of the time. I have to use the key now. I hope this thing has warranty. Just FYI.
Just received and installed your tailgate lock - all as advertised. It was a pain working underneath the Taco without a lift, but the lock worked great!
I just installed mine and it’s flawless . It now comes with 2 replacement clips for the harness at the tailgate to bed . I wasn’t sure where to zip tie the harness near the heat shield , I wish I could see what you did there . Hopefully it doesn’t melt . But great product none the less .
Hey! There are OEM wires sitting right next to the frame that goes from the back all the way up the passenger side. If you follow those same wires you can zip tie them to those wires to get a clean look and not have to worry about melting them.
just installed this from you guys. straightforward install exactly how you demonstrated in the video. on a side note, i still can hear the locking mechanism. im not sure how loud the popnlock was but i can definitely here this one as well. effective product nonetheless
Just finished installing it today (2021 Off Road short bed). Took me about 2 hours but I was moving pretty slowly. I used a lot more zip ties than provided but no biggie. Seems to work good so far. I just hope the portion of the wire loom running along near the muffler doesn’t someday melt. Thanks for the vid.
Just did the install on my ‘21 SR. Didn’t have that gray wire bundle to attach the new wires from the tailgate to the front of the cab. But there are lots of holes in the frame and other places to tie-wrap to. Thanks for a great product! 🤙🏽
Nice product. I hope you guys used a better actuator than pop and lock did. I'm in Canada and below -23C or so, the pop and lock actuator doesn't have enough toque to lock and unlock. No other actuators in my Tacoma or any other vehicle I've owned has ever given me cold weather problems. $150 system and pop and lock gave us a $15 amazon actuator. One questions I have is are you guys concerned with galvanic corrosion from mating aluminum components to steel over time? I this scenario, the galvanic tables say the steel tail gate is going to lose and corrode. Love your vids and mods. Thanks.
This is a very popular item on the R4T website because whenever I went to order it was always out of stock. So a big shout out to Leroy for letting me know it was in stock. I received it last week and can't wait to install it on my 17 TacoTruck
Delays delays delays - but fondly installed mine today - works great / did notice I needed to rotate the actuator on the 10mm bolt a fe mm to get it to run smoother - seemed the arm hold that meets the lock pin could be made a little longer for more precise fit or cut it slightly larger and oval for self adjustments
When did this come out, I got the pop n lock soon after I bought my taco in 11 2020 for 85.00 $ I don't mind how loud it is, but I think it deters the thieves from breaking in when they hear it.
Thanks i order mine like 2 minutes ago fast and easy my first buy i hoop i get a sticker for been first time lol will be buying more stuff like the video
The main difference I see with this and the Toyota OEM version is it looks like the OEM one uses a fuse in line to protect against fire in a rear end collision. Does your product protect against this through the way you reconfigured the plug and play adapter?
I'll start by saying I'm a former mechanic... Received my order yesterday, today I installed and it was very simple, plug and play kits are amazing because of all the hassle it saves. But I ran into issues. I installed the actuator and ran the wire loom to the front passenger kick panel with ease. Took me maybe 15 mins. Went to plug in the harness and noticed it wasn't clicking in with that oddly satisfying "click," I removed it tried again and nothing. Then inspected it and saw that the harness plug and the receiver slots in the plug had damage... (I ended up fixing this myself) now I went to plug in the blue and green wire from the harness to the wire loom.. the blue wire connector came right out of the blue wire in my hand, it was barely crimped down. Again I had to fix this, cut back the shrink tubing and reconnect the wire to the terminal end... now I spent an extra few minutes having to correct these issues but thats me, a former mechanic. Most folks buying a plug and play kit is looking for it to be just that and also looking for a quality item. I love supporting local US businesses but I'd like to see better quality control. As a small business owner now myself I can tell you my customers and most customers will prefer quality over quantity. Please inspect your items before shipping them out. I would've returned this item but I'm heading on a road trip and I really wanted this to work so I fixed it myself. FYI my feedback is not to bash your business but to genuinely help you be better. And for others to learn from my mistakes... properly inspect your items before starting your installs. Best of luck.
I installed the Pop & Lock kit back in 2018 on your suggestion. I have enjoyed the security of knowing the tailgate locks along with the doors. With that said, I absolutely hate the sound level this kit produces. What assurance can you offer that your product is better? On another note, have you experienced the “Brake Override Malfunction” yet on your machines? I was trail riding on some 4x4 NC Forest Service trails last weekend when this light came on. At the time my Roll/Pitch gauge read 25 pitch, so I pressed on and finally arrived at our camp site. After turning the truck off my Tacoma locked in park and would not restart with the OEM button. Although I could still remotely start. Long story short, STOP 10a fuse blown. Changed and was good to go.
Hey man, just finished the install and the lock works perfect. Only down side is my passenger window won’t roll down anymore. Tried re-doing the process exactly according to the video and still not working. Any idea why this may be happening? Also for clarity, when I replaced the original OEM connector back to the kick panel without the connect I purchased, the window rolled down no problem. Not sure if maybe the connector is faulty but when it’s plugged in the tailgate works fine but my passenger window won’t roll down. Suggestions?
@@superserial1 They swapped it out within the week. Switched the connector and both the lock and window are working perfectly. Great customer service experience on my end.
why is his pin connection on the passenger side? About to install this and all other videos the pin connection is on the drivers side all are 3rd gens.
@Taco Twonz will you be making an application for the 2nd Gen? The 2nd Gen doesn’t get any love at all. I just picked up a 2013. Fingers crossed you will.

Same quietness, we have tested the OEM one
Is the oem exact install as this one?

Aloha
Any idea when these will be back in stock....?
I'll start by saying I'm a former mechanic... Received my order yesterday, today I installed and it was very simple, plug and play kits are amazing because of all the hassle it saves. But I ran into issues.
I installed the actuator and ran the wire loom to the front passenger kick panel with ease. Took me maybe 15 mins. Went to plug in the harness and noticed it wasn't clicking in with that oddly satisfying "click," I removed it tried again and nothing. Then inspected it and saw that the harness plug and the receiver slots in the plug had damage... (I ended up fixing this myself) now I went to plug in the blue and green wire from the harness to the wire loom.. the blue wire connector came right out of the blue wire in my hand, it was barely crimped down. Again I had to fix this, cut back the shrink tubing and reconnect the wire to the terminal end... now I spent an extra few minutes having to correct these issues but thats me, a former mechanic. Most folks buying a plug and play kit is looking for it to be just that and also looking for a quality item. I love supporting local US businesses but I'd like to see better quality control. As a small business owner now myself I can tell you my customers and most customers will prefer quality over quantity. Please inspect your items before shipping them out. I would've returned this item but I'm heading on a road trip and I really wanted this to work so I fixed it myself.
FYI my feedback is not to bash your business but to genuinely help you be better. And for others to learn from my mistakes... properly inspect your items before starting your installs.
Best of luck.
We appreciate the feedback
Easy install, works perfectly.
Awesome. Great product and great how to. !! Dam. Already sold out too.
Take my money
How come no love for the gen2’s with this plug n play?
Just ordered mine for my 2020! looks great! OEM from Toyota $430 from Canada!
Holy crap! That's crazy
Hi can you share the link?
I installed the Pop & Lock kit back in 2018 on your suggestion. I have enjoyed the security of knowing the tailgate locks along with the doors. With that said, I absolutely hate the sound level this kit produces. What assurance can you offer that your product is better?
On another note, have you experienced the “Brake Override Malfunction” yet on your machines? I was trail riding on some 4x4 NC Forest Service trails last weekend when this light came on. At the time my Roll/Pitch gauge read 25 pitch, so I pressed on and finally arrived at our camp site. After turning the truck off my Tacoma locked in park and would not restart with the OEM button. Although I could still remotely start. Long story short, STOP 10a fuse blown. Changed and was good to go.
We are thinking about offering the tailgate actuator by itself to make it quieter
@runnin4tacos thank you. Got mine from your website and it was fast shipping. Again salamat kabayan. Aloha
Hey man, just finished the install and the lock works perfect. Only down side is my passenger window won’t roll down anymore. Tried re-doing the process exactly according to the video and still not working. Any idea why this may be happening?
Also for clarity, when I replaced the original OEM connector back to the kick panel without the connect I purchased, the window rolled down no problem.
Not sure if maybe the connector is faulty but when it’s plugged in the tailgate works fine but my passenger window won’t roll down.
Suggestions?
The connector has to be bad. Contact runnin4tacos and let us know if they send you a new one. Curious as to how their customer service is.
@@superserial1 They swapped it out within the week. Switched the connector and both the lock and window are working perfectly. Great customer service experience on my end.
Thanks for the vid. Easy install. Cheers
I haven't read the comments yet but will there be any for the 2nd Gen?
Commenting for an upvote
why is his pin connection on the passenger side? About to install this and all other videos the pin connection is on the drivers side all are 3rd gens.
How much
Great trailgate
does this work on a second gen tacoma
@Taco Twonz will you be making an application for the 2nd Gen? The 2nd Gen doesn’t get any love at all. I just picked up a 2013. Fingers crossed you will.
Yes I think we will try
just ordered mine today 😀
Can you guys offer just the plug and play harness? Many of us don't need the loom, connectors or servos. Prefer not to tap into stock harness too!
