Small security measures

[Frenchy]

I'm glad i live in a town of 4500 people where no one has the balls to touch my truck.

I'm not telling y'all what I did because basically I am an asshole, but below is a pic of mine before I reinforced it with some steel!!!




EDIT: Joking of course, if mine works I will be happy to help out with what I did!!!

No need to swap anything internally, it all just bolts up. No modifications required.
One thing we did: the rod that goes from the handle to the door mechanism, flip it over to the right side of the handle lever.
So, instead of inserting it into the outside of the lever, insert the rod into the inside out.
Reason: the lever on the rear handle is a little longer and I wanted to get the rod closer to it's original position.
Doing it this way, will offset it just a tad, not much, and bring it closer to the handle.
Oh ya, pop that small white bushing the rod rides on, and push it on the lever from the inside.

I just know from research that several people have had issues using the stock back handles when not swapping the internals. Not saying it won't work, but I'd rather have it work 100% of the time than 98% of the time. It literally takes 2 minutes to pop the clip out of each handle and swap the levers.

Also, guys with NNBS trucks prior to 09' watch out for door lock actuators going out on you if you do this mod, that would seriously suck. It is unlikely both would go at at the same time, but you never know. I think I'd be more worried about the battery (in the truck) dying.

Door lock actuators are super fails on 2007-2009 GMT900 trucks. I have several sets of black handles. They may be missing the LF but no one in this topic wants the LF. The lever length is very different front to rear.

all i said was you guys need some vigilantes down there.

Use your truck as bait. Park in a sketchy parking lot. Hide in the bushes with something that goes bang.
