First it was catalytic converters, now people are stealing tailgates at a high rate as they're extremely valuable and can be stolen in seconds even if you have an OEM lock on your tailgate. Protect your tailgate from theft with the Pop & Lock Tailgate Defender, a universal tailgate lock designed to fit any truck to prevent tailgate theft. Similar to the design as a padlock, the Tailgate Defender fits around the passenger side of the tailgate hinge and locks the tailgate to the truck. Once locked into place, the tailgate can easily open and close but cannot be removed. As tailgate thefts are on the rise, the Tailgate Defender is a terrific low-cost option to help prevent your tailgate from being stolen. Installs in seconds with no special tools required. Includes a set of keys for easy removal.

  • Helps prevent your tailgate from being stolen
  • Universal design, check the application for proper fit
  • Installs in seconds with no special tools

Pop and Lock TG Def.

I installed this on my 2024 Tacoma. For me it was not as easy to install as the video indicates. The lock ring has to be spread open in order to slide tailgate in place. Getting the ring sprung back in position to insert into the lock was difficult for me. Pressing the ring back into position in order to insert into lock takes a good deal of finger/hand strength in a tight space. Then there is the washer? No instruction on where it goes or what it does. I assumed it went between locking device and tailgate? That’s where I installed it.
