How do i go about taking off the door handles? planning on getting mark lt handles or painting these myself.

 

from the inside of the door, remove the panel, 2 10mm nuts

 

what about tailgate handle?

 

should be a metal access plate on the back side of the tailgate, take it off and see what you have to deal with.

 

Appreciate the help built 54

 

Didnt see anything on the back of the tailgate, will just have to fiddle around with it One thing I'm wondering is when you take the handles off is there any way to get the handle itself off from the base of the door handle(trying to paint the handle chrome and the bottom to match the truck)

 

i suggest you just get the lt handles....it is very hard to remove the handle out the bucket without breaking it....when i replaced my handle pulls i broke one of the buckets trying to reinstall it

 

Thanks for the heads up , but what makes it so difficult?
