Tailgate Handle
Cmillls45....it sounds like you accessed the tailgate handle from the "inside" of the tailgate. Did you replace the entire tailgate handle assembly? I have p/n 76839-AK02 on order which I expect will be just the chrome portion that the camera and light attach to. I suspect that is why Eesh29 was able to pop the old piece off from outside the tailgate without removing the entire tailgate handle assembly. Could you confirm my assumption? When I get my new part, I may be able to see more clearly how it attaches to the existing handle assembly (which is already black).

Bumper Extension/Sensors
Eesh29...thank you for the heads up on the sensor calibration $$. I was going to see if I could reuse the existing sensors like Cmillls45...hoping that prevents the need for calibration. I am guessing that the new sensors triggered the system to realized a sensor had been replaced. Hoping that if I use the existing sensors the system stays "happy". And thanks for the heads up on the 89348-04010-C1 adhesive mounts.

I appreciate the info!

Cmillls45....very nice...thx. How do you like the RAVE handle covers? I could not convince myself to open up each of the door panel just yet....I have color matched handle covers on the way from RAVE. Hope they fit well...they were a bit pricey for what they are.

No complaints on the rave overlays. Since I have a black taco, I got the black ones and saved a few hundred. You can’t see any chrome, they’ve been on a month and look and feel great. They look OEM.

Happy to hear that...thank you for your help! I should have my tires on new wheels this weekend and will start deleting the chrome bits shortly after.
