I decided to not include music but I was debating on whether I should have and what kind of music. What would you have picked? (There is no wrong answer.) EDIT (05/25/2024, 08:16 AM) RUclips Studio Editor allows for some minor edits on-the-fly. I just added some music to the montage and the changes are being process.
Did you go to Longo and order parts through them ? Or did you order yourself online ? Also was everything delivered to you or did you have to go pick it up ? I have to build out a 2015 tailgate. I see prices vary between dealers and Longo is cheaper than Frontier here in Santa Clarita.
@@gusm2752 I initially called them but was put through via texting. I had no what were all the part numbers needed. They emailed me with an invoice and the parts they told me that I needed were about 98% accurate. I did go back to return unnecessary parts. The parts that they didn't know to include, I ordered through their website. This is why I put this video up, there are many parts for my generation and not everyone has an accurate account of what is needed. Do note that you may have the same experience with the accuracy of the parts needed. It is like a home improvement/repair project. You usually have to go to the hardware store a few times, lol
@@neverenoughdirt Thank you for your feedback. It would be easier and a lot cheaper to buy a used one There are plenty on Facebook marketplace but I’m against rewarding someone for their thievery Who’s got tailgates for sale unless they’re stolen ? And I doubt the Sheriffs department will recover mine. They still haven’t even returned my calls after two months and they even have the vehicle make license plate and Costco has the video of it being stolen. You did a great job with the video on yours I wonder if most parts are the same with my Gen 2 2015
I sincerely came to watch this out of curiosity. I don't own a truck, but in general, your videos are so detailed and full of useful information. I figured I might as well learn something new! Well done, Brian🎉 While it is definitely unfortunate you experienced theft, this video will help so many people. Your patience always astonishes me. Oh! The music choices were great and fitting, too!
I appreciate that! and thanks for the feedback on the music, Siri. If ever someone has a tailgate that is not work, I bet you'll be able to give some pointers, lol. This lemonade stand is open for business! ;D
Awesome tutorial, information and assembly of your new tailgate! Was wondering if you took any preventative measures to ensure the tailgate won't be stolen again. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I took a few measures, yeah. Starting with adding vibration sensors and additional cameras (with settings for alerts during the prime hours.) This is not something I prefer but they decentralized crime prevention in my area-- making crime prevention up to the individual citizen. I got a tailgate lock-- I won't name the brand because I think it can be defeated. It is made of aluminum and it can be hammered or cut. A product like that can lead people to a false sense of security. It is on there as a security layer. Also, it can be defeated because it is a common product. When something is common, it will get figured out. Speaking of, I modified the locking mechanism to make it harder to shim. I also did one other thing. Sorry that I can't share. Mum is the word because if it's known, it will be defeated. (Aka, security through obsecurity.)
Again, sorry that you're looking to replace your tailgate. I got the budget paint job $400. Parts were close to $2000 (with 25% off MSRP through Longo Toyota in El Monte (which can be a drive from where you are.) Your question reminds me that I need to add up my invoices for a more accurate cost figure to share.

@@gusm2752 my initial order was a pick up. I did a few online orders. Some small stuff, I sprung for delivery (for convenience.)

Nice job. What was your total cost with paint ? I now need a new tailgate for my 2015 Tacoma that was stolen. 🤬🤬
