Tailgate Handle Broke (not the plastic)
Hey all.
I tried a search and all I found was on the plastic handle breaking. Well my plastic handle is fine. The metal bracket that the handle pivots on has corroded to the point that one side snapped and now I can't get the passenger side latch to operate.
Autozone said this was probably a dealer part. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a replacement handle/bracket assembly (does a new handle come with the bracket?)

I got mine from Underdog-Performance - www.stuffforyourranger.com
It's metal with a metal bracket. Available CHROME or BLACK. I highly recommend it! You're lucky, too. I paid full price and it's now 33% off!!!
Get it while it's on sale! CLICK HERE

Oh okay...I thought he meant the mount bracket that is attached to the handle and serves as the pivot point for the handle. (pictured in black behind the chrome handle above)
Wait a minute....

Nevermind. Looking closer at the stuff on ebay, they do have the bracket attached to them. I just purchased one for $15. Thank you kindly, though.
