Just a follow up. Kit arrived at 10 AM this morning. The kit was great. Install was 1 hour 30 minutes including a coffee break. They provided so many zip ties, quality kit. Thanks for the video tutorial. I also sprayed fluid film in the tail gate at the same time for future rust prevention.
Bradford, thanks for your video! After watching it gave me the confidence to tackle this add on to my 21 TRDPro. Only deviation was I have AMP power steps installed, and one of the sets of wires comes out of the floor grommet, I just had to make a small hole in new floor grommet and run those Step wires through, easy peasy, tailgate lock is a success. Thx again!
Kit should be here tomorrow. Can’t wait to get this done on my 2021 Tundra Crew Cab. Already added the under seat rear storage from my local Toyota dealer, which wasn’t included on my model. Next will be Weather Tec floor mats
Very easy to follow instructions. I did not have any major problems except when I got to the front and the grommet that was supposed to be empty had the reverse camera cable in it so I cut it out from that grommet and cut the grommet with the power tail gate harness and duct tape it to the floor board to make it secure while I route the cable underneath all the way to the back to the connector from the tail gate latch. Tested everything before securing with zip ties and all panels put back. Great video! Dealership wanted to charge me $420 all said and done and told me it would take them 4 hours to do it. Took me 2 hours, but I'm glad I did it myself and I got it cheaper from Spark Parts.
Excellent video! Thanks for doing that. This job was probably hard enough just installing it without having to video and explain it too lol. I have a 2019 Tundra Platinum and cannot believe this was not standard. My 2018 SR5 already had it installed, but not the Platinum?! Anyway, great job and thanks again.
@@LUKESTRONG4LIFE I installed it today. Watched some key spots in your video again just to refresh myself. Only problem I had was that the retainer ring would not stay on. It kept popping off. I eventually got it to stay on, but I don’t have high confidence that it will stay on there for long. Fortunately the actuator is stable enough that it may not make a difference if it pops off. I might open it back up and check on it in a week or two and maybe see if I can find something tighter to fit on there. Anyway, thanks again for the video…the install turned out great, I learned some stuff, and it’s so nice to be able to lock my tailgate remotely now!
Thank you again. You helped make my father's day and happy father's day. On the 21 tundra, you just have to run the wires with one that's under the truck and zip them together once again thanks, rear sway bar next, then side steps.
Phenomenal instructions. No directions came with my kit. You made this so easy. Thanks for the excellent video! Your truck is so clean! Lol
Thank you. I’m glad it helped. Enjoy the upgrade!!! Thanks for the post. Enjoy your Tundra!
Getting ready to add this to my 2019. The fact that Toyota didn't include this from the factory is mind blowing.
Agree! Should be standard!!!!

Great to hear! Enjoy the truck! PS - Look at Husky Floor Mats. They blow my old Weather Techs away! All the best.
What brand under seat storage? Toyota? Or aftermarket brand
Toyota. Dealer had one in stock. I don’t have the part number handy unfortunately.
Great video, I followed it step by step without any issues. Very thorough and easy to follow tutorial. Nice job Brad! Thanks!

Great video! What kit did you use for the tailgate seal? Thank!
Hello, The tailgate seal came with my Gator Tri-Fold Cover. It is very helpful in helping the water out of the bed! Hope that helps.....Be well. Brad
@bradford H Turnow Your video was perfect. I installed in under hour and a half, and that included helping a neighbor jump-start his truck. Thanks.
Great to hear. So glad it helped. I honestly use my bed more than ever after installing this. Enjoy your awesome truck!!!! Be well.
Excelent video, thanks
Most welcome. Thank you for watching. Any questions, please ask! All the best! Be well.

@@LUKESTRONG4LIFE thanks 👍
@@yangxai3317 Most welcome. It is a great upgrade! So worth it!!!
Seriously. Who buys a truck at this price point in this day and age and thinks, you know the feature I really don't want? Power tailgate lock.
