    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    What Geo said. Getting turned down for failing to follow instructions during approval and not accepting members are two very different things…

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    The FB group is accepting members, but it is not just click and go, there is a process(read the instructions carefully) as we screen every applicant to try and keep the spammers, scammers and bots at bay…. I wouldn’t short you guys, I posted the same pics here that I posted there and there are...

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    Not quite sure what you are looking for, it wasn’t much cutting and a dremel with a fiber cutoff wheel did it easilly. there were 2 rivets/spot-welds to drill out on the inner door skin(circled in the first pic). the first two pics on the initial post in this thread pretty much shows a before...

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    2nd and 3rd gen 4runner. I think that is 90-2004? The 1st gen Tacoma, 95-04, also uses them. They are pretty robust, I am probably one of the few to pull any out of a junkyard:) as they always seem to be in every door. I used rears without locks as they require less cutting to fit, but the...

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    Thanks. There are lots of options for a backup unlock. You provide unlock power to the circuit via a reed switch and use a magnet thru a known location on a panel. You place a hidden switch. You route the wiring to an exposed location so it can be accessed and external power applied ect...

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    My truck came from auction with the handles and inner and outer latch assemblies stripped. After pricing several hundred dollars of hardware per door and known issues with the original spec handles, I started looking at other options in the auto and big truck world and stumbled upon these...

    Another A0 door handle and latch option.

    After a little measurement I came to the conclusion that Toyota door handles from a second generation(90-95) Toyota 4runner will cover(barely) the existing A0 door handle holes. Those from the 3rd gen(95-04) should also fit. The fronts have locks, the rears do not. I opted for the rear handles...
