Before I start poking around the local scrapyards, I wanted to make sure that a tailgate from any 3rd gen (1996-2002) would be compatible.
Thanks in advance.

I just replaced the hatch on my 2001 SR5 with a donor hatch from a 2000 SR5. I had to swap the lock cylinder and the ECU and now the keyless entry and the rear window work.
However, I have been unsuccessful in getting the rear defrost or wiper to work. I pulled back the rubber boot at the top of the hatch two of the wires in that loom had cracked casing but the wire itself was intact. I covered the exposed wire with tape to see if the exposed wire was causing my issue but no luck there.
Is this a wire harness compatibility issue or should I start looking at other components? Did you have any issues replacing your liftgate?
