That's a darn expensive wall decoration! You should put that thing on eBay or the for sale site on here or something!!

I would but you never know you might need it one day plus im not a supporter yet need a job to get cash to do so. If i was id sell alot of my extras.


Know to the tailgate, I took mine off and grabed the blazar/jimmy part and the first thing that is different is the backing. On our trucks the backing/the stuff we bolt to sticks out to go into the tailgat hole, where as in a blazar/jimmy its not as deep as our fot the window. So that would have to be changed, all you have to do from what i can see it bund the tabs up and slide it out and rever it when putting it back in. Id do it to mine but id like to keep my handle, for know.

I tooke the panels and they are the same side length and height. so that not an issue. Also the top edge off the panels are different because of the large inset the original panel has a larger lip to fill in any crack were as the blazer/jimmy is more narrow this should fill in once its tightened down but thought id give you a heads up.

All in all id say it would work. I wish i could take some pics to show you but out of film, I see if i can get the digital this after noon.


(thought on back mounting longer bolts could be used insead od changing the back metal. Ill have to locate a set so i can see how it fit in it. )

One cool think was i though id have to remove the handle on my truck to try this but it tucked under the space so i didnt have to remove it. Ofcourse people may want to open the door but mine was just fit it.

If I am understanding the question right, the Blazer trim can be used to cover the hole for the latch handle. This guy did it recently. Maybe he can tell you how.
