First Gen Tacoma Door Handle Replacement

The replacement was done on a 2003 4 door Pre-runner.
The replacement described in this video should work with all first generation Toyota Tacomas
Handle was added in January of 2020 and does not squeak. At times, I do have to pull twice to open the door but that could be just the actuator acting up.
8/1/20 UPDATE
Door handle stopped squeeking and haven't had ANY issues since installing
1/20/23 UPDATE
The door handle on underside of the grip broke off but is slightly attached enough to open the door

I replaced mine this afternoon and it didn’t take long to do thirty minutes tops. The clip on the top was the tuffest part.

"Now lets see if I can do this" cuts video till after it's done....DUDE

[@bradybowen8908]

If you were to pull on the interior handle does the exterior handle pull up? Passenger side doesn’t but noticed driver side will. Is this correct?

[@CopperStateOutdoors]

Are you referring to before the replacement or after the replacement of the door handle?

[@bradybowen8908]

@@CopperStateOutdoors I guess afterwards. If I pull on the interior handle and look at the exterior handle it pulls up. If I could show you a video I would. Just seeing if it sounded correct.

@@bradybowen8908 you may want to retighten all of the bolts. I did notice at one point in time my outside handle would take 3 pulls to open the door and a few loose bolts were the culprit

[@user-km2mm6en6u]

Perfect example of how not to explain the procedure!
