ComancheKid45 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Alright guys, has anyone came up with a replacement part to use for the MJ tailgate handles. I have 2 perfectly fine tailgates now that have broken handles. I'm sure I'm not the 1st to have this issue so I figured id post up. Thanks!

yellaheep Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I've harvested the internals from one or two unusable tail gates and should have the handle assembly laying around. PM me if you'd like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Dang, I should have thought of that on the three (yep, only three) MJs I've seen in JYs around here over past 2years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ive read on here in the past that Chevy S-10 tailgate handles are the same. Might be worth some research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Ive read on here in the past that Chevy S-10 tailgate handles are the same. Might be worth some research. I remember reading that, too -- several times. And then I remember someone posting that the S-10 handle doesn't work. I wish someone knew for sure. (And, of course, it may depend on which year S-10.)

Dirteatr717 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I opened mine one day and it ripped right off so I made my own and it looks pretty factory to me :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 That defiantly looks good!.....Ive actually never disassembled a tailgate off of any of the trucks yet so i have no idea what id be getting into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's fairly simple, just take your time taking it apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Bacon Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My tailgate is pretty well toasted so I could probably pull mine apart for the handle and internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
