How To Relocate Tail Gate Handle To The Inside
Click this link http://www.buildyourride.com/tech/relocatortemp.doc to get the template. You can buy the tail gate kit from Sir Mic's. or from FBI, or get the kit from EMA Customs out in Cali. like I did. Then follow these pics and in less then 1 HR. you can have the handle to the inside. After you relocate the handle you can then shave the outside.

Now flip the tail gate on the other side and pop the trim thats around the tail gate handle, pull it off and then pull the handle up and unclip the 2 clips that hold the rods then lift the rods off the handle and pull the handle out.

Slide out the latches and rods both left and right sides. Make sure u dont drop the rods or disconnect them from the latches, lay the rods on the floor the same way they are in the tail gate.

Now I cut the plate out but left about a 1/4" left to be trimmed so the final cut will be hella smooth.
