RustyRodder Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Looking for a non-rusty tailgate handle for my Jeep- its almost out of paint, and the new bodywork makes the handle (even repainted) look like crap. Anyone?
sinkrun Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Someone on here makes new ones can't remember who they should be along.

RustyRodder Posted September 30, 2016 Author Posted September 30, 2016 Yeah, i found that. I may try to copy the design or 3D print one
schardein Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 How bad is yours? If it's minor pitting, you could have it beadblasted to get to clean metal and then use some filler to cover the pitting. Then seal prime paint. That's if it's not so bad it's missing chunks and no one rogers up with a spare.
RustyRodder Posted October 1, 2016 Author Posted October 1, 2016 Not great- pretty thin. It works, but it was recommended I not use it much to prevent breaking.
fiatslug87 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I have a black one from an '88 California truck, I'll get pictures tonight.
