    Lol yea, someone always has to go and write in the dirt. There was a dick on the driver door, but the tailgate always takes longer to accumulate a new layer of dirt to cover it up.

    Hmm so do I pay $66 for a door handle local or do I order one for ~$20 and climb in through the passenger side for the rest of the week?

    I'm thinking just hang the cable thing out of the hole where the handle used to be for now :cool:

    good to know, I saw some reviews that said the same thing. Guess I'll bite the bullet and buy a good one

    Did the inside handle break? or the outside one?

    Edit: saw you said plastic, so inside

    Outer, mine are black so outside is plastic too. I'm pretty sure the chrome ones are just chrome covered plastic too though

    I had my driver side door handle break a week after I bought my truck, and for a few weeks I would go in through the passenger side reach across and open the driver door from the inside... :anonymous: then this stupid chick I was hanging out with one day breaks the passenger door handle :facepalm: then i had both replaced with cheap ones and they've been good for a few months now
