Order the sequoia handle. You change the whole handle, no covers

Cool, will do.

So new antenna and new color matched door handles will be the mod planned for this weekend. Are the handles easy to do? Will the door panel come of easly?

The reason he was telling me to paint mine, is because they don't make them in some colors, like red

you don't have to take the door panel off. Just remove the black tab on the side of the door, loosen torx bolt and remove!

after you loosen the torx and remove the end cap, do this YouTube - Tundra Dooe Handle Removal

JC is on top of it .. its very simple

open the door, you will see a round black tab

pop that off with a flat head

inside you will see a torx screw .. unscrew it all the way (dont worry about dropping it, there is a small tab and it wont fall)

after that, you just slide out the small piece of the handle, then slide the large part towards where the small part was and it will slide free.

dont worry if you have to use a little bit of force .. you wont break it


have fun

I ended up ordering new color match handles for my silver double from sparks and they arrived Friday afternoon along with some rubber mats.

I gave 2008 CrewMax a call before I tried to change them out and he told me that it would be a piece of cake and it was. It took about ten minutes in all to change them both out. To be honest with you I do not know why the Double cabs are not already coming like this since the back handles are already done this way.

It looks fucking great!

Along with the rubber mats I picked up a few of the door sill protectors since my dog seems to scuff them up when he jumps in the cab and they look good as well.

Again I know that I need to take some pictures but I do not have a camera at the moment. I would rather keep putting my money into the truck at the moment and not a camera.

I'll snap some pics of the trucks when we meet up haha
