DIY: Door Handle Swap Pics and Vids

[S0CAL]

This is a DIY for door handle swaps. No cutting, drilling involved and I will go step by step with pics, tools, vids, before/after pics. I just bought these colormatched handles and de-chroming the truck.

I recorded this some months back so no need to record the steps again! Count how many times I say "pretty straight forward," as I lost count.

I don't see any images for reserved 2-4....

I can't wait to see the video. I need to do mine door handles as well!

Getting them uploaded today. Not going for Hollywood but it needs some editing first.

What door handles did you have before? I’d like to swap my chrome out for body color. Same with the mirrors. I hate the chrome mirrors!

Nice!! I didn’t know you could buy them already painted.

Now I need to figure out how to cover up the chrome on the mirrors lol

You can get those mirrors color matched too!

All I know this is a task and a half to complete. Unlike the 3rd gen trucks which I removed and painted with no problems.

Hopefully the DIY will give folks encouragement. I have to wait to do the passenger side, it's been raining a lot and the truck is too big for the garage.

Vids uploaded. Editing leaves a lot to be desired, but I will mess with it later. Good luck!

Sun came out, so I was able to knock out the other side.
