    Well this is my first post, mostly because I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere. Both my exterior and interior drivers side door handles have cracked and are almost useless. I had no problem finding the exterior handle I needed which is black and chrome, but I can't find the interior one that matches my current color anywhere. So far all I have seen is black, gray, blue, red, and oak brown. In my opinion the handles I have which match my interior is more of a tan color. Does anyone think they may know where I could find the correct colored handle??? Any help would be much appreciated! [​IMG]

    Front dome light added,light reminder added,door chime mod, added 2nd gen 4runner headrests,grey wire mod, 2lo mod, more later.
    I'm sure second gen 4runners are the same interior door handles that might broaden your search hope this helps.

    I had the same problem but a local junkyard had just what I needed. There's just not many tacos in the junkyard but it may be worth a shot.

    Thanks I looked at some 4runner handles but they all are the same colors as for the tacomas. I'm starting to think mine were the oak brown color and over the course of so many years I guess they faded and became a lighter color. What do other people handles look like?
