New goodies for the 06

[BP68]

Finally got the truck cleaned up after being dirty for a while. (Cold and raining)

Check out the Escalade handles, painted mirror caps, and painted bowtie.

I wasn't totally sure about the bowtie, but once I put it on the truck I loved it.

It was overcast today, but it truly shines in the sunlight.

Yes, the Tahoes and Suburbans got the entire handle panted. The Escalade got the painted handle bucket with a chrome grip.

Did you buy the handles that color or did you get them painted. That color looks like Greystone Metalic? Can you buy them that factory color. Were they hard to change out? Looks Awsome

This color is Blue Granite Metallic (46U is the GM code for it)

No you cannot get these in this color. I ordered Silver handles and mirror caps . I took them apart and then had a guy at work paint them to match.

Oh, and no they are not hard to swap out.

Pull the door panel, two 10mm bolts, two rods on the left door (key cylinder and handle release) one handle rod for right door. Swap key cylinder into new handle, hook up rods, bolt on and reinstall door panel.

P.s. 03 and up models have a 7mm screw behind the door lock slide, another one under the grab handle, a torx under a round trim cover in the center of the back edge, and a push in retainer in the center of the front edge. Pop off the triangle over the outside mirror bolts, and the bezel around the inside handle, the lock slide, lift up and out on door panel, unplugg switches and door panel light bulb/connector.

How did you take the handles apart?? they look tamperproof. The tailgate handle...is that from an Escalade, The one from the GM acessories is painted

Great mods, nice and clean

I swapped the door handles on my 2000 GMC way back before the Escalade handles were popular, I have the solid painted tahoe handles.

I like what you have done to your truck so far - keep it up
