Hi guys.
I have just bought a 2005 hilux sr5.
It wasn’t until later I noticed that the tail gate doesn’t lock.
Is it possible to get one installed?
My 2005 rodeo could be locked, so it was handy with the decoys in the back.
What do ya reckon?

you can buy aftermarket locking handles from overseas not sure if anyone supplies them here.
With my L200 I put a couple of gate locks on the inside of the tail gate then just locked the cabin. Works ok.
Dont worry if it is the hilux with the handle in the middle (sr5) sooner or later it will shit it self and you want be able to open the tail gate any way:D Dont replace this part with a after market knock off they dont last
Unless you have a hard lid or a canopy (which have locks), how is a lock on the tailgate going to secure the open deck?
Was thinking this as well...Quote:

My 2005 Rodeo was pretty secure. As the gate could be locked.
Just a pain leaving my duckshooting gear in it if its not that secure. But I guess nothing will stop them breaking in.
