Those two rubber gromets in the tailgate are where the bolts are. It was on my 2012 JK.
These are a must have !! Already ordered mine b here Thursday !! These will b great especially with small kids who have a hard time pushing the button in on the old handles & with having a bunch of stuff in your hands thx 🙏 for sharing had no idea these existed till now , just hope they hold up with like snow & ice in the winter guess I’ll see
Very well said!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Great video...a little dap of grease on your socket should hold the nut in place when pulling it out. Used a lot in the marine industry
Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion
I found your video because just after noon while driving today, we picked up some metal rod at road construction that punctured our tire, spun around, and broke our fender flare, tail light, and rear passenger door handle while also taking chunks out of the fiberglass hard top and side of the tub. The steel back bumper only suffered a scratch. While retrieving the fender flare and piece that caused the damage in the first place, I noticed a spring. I put it in my pocket just in case I needed that spring. Thankfully the bar that you say is also required is still inside the door. The handle is still in place. Just the thumb button, which I found several feet from everything else, and spring was thrown off. So yay....unintentional upgrade. So thank you for showing how easy it is to replace!
I installed a set of these today. The most difficult part is removing the window hand crank. Get yourself a hand crank removal tool or have a set of mini picks. Also have a magnet for safely pulling the nut out of the door. These handles are fantastic.
Super cool mod! I wish JL door handles had the same type of door handle inserts that you can install on the JK.
Yah there cool too!
Pro tip. Dropping the nut or bolt inside on a project like this is a nightmare. But there is a simple way to keep your 15 minute install from becoming an all day nightmare.
Put something sticky in the socket. It can be vaseline, double sided tape, the diaper rash cream you keep around for the baby, even toothpaste would probably work.
Also, way to blow past drilling your hole in the wrong place.
Just bought the 5 piece set and gets delivered tomorrow and this was a great how-to video that I needed to see
Just got my first jeep 3 weeks ago and the top problem I have is the handle buttons hurting my thumbs, so I went looking for a resolution and found your video. Now I think I can do that myself!
Brooooo....
My wife and kids Hate the jk handles...they cut open the doors....
I saw this vid and purchased immediately.....sooo much easier and better...
Easy installation.....love em...
👍👍👍
Thanks for the idea! Ordering mine now... The JK handles are tough to open for sure and having to deal with it everyday is a hassle. 👍
Yah exactly!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Let us know if you also had the same issue that AdventureDex reported on the left back door handle 11:16
we installed these about a month ago, absolutely changes everything! much nicer than pushing the button! Great video!
Thanks! Agreed!
Thanks for the video! I’ve just ordered the handles and hope to do the install this weekend. The push button is painful for my arthritic thumb, so this upgrade will definitely help!
Great video! Thanks for the heads up on the trim pieces that look like allen bolts 👍.
Thanks for the video! The biggest reason I purchased these door handles is that I have arthritis and the most painful area is in my thumb joints. I dreaded opening up the doors on my 2016 Wrangler Unlimited because obviously it has a thumb button to open the doors that requires a bit of force to push the button. These door handles are a godsend and make opening the doors a breeze. I'm not sure why they don't have an ADA Compliant label on them. I highly recommend these handles for those of you who struggle with joint pain issues.
I put these on a few months ago and i have been loving them so far. The only issue I had was needing to stretch my stock springs a little but otherwise, this is a great mod!
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that!!
How have yours held up?
@@ElevatedVehiclesmine have held up great! They haven't faded or gotten loose. I'm very happy with mine.
@@BellumVids awesome! Thank you for the update. I'll get some
Your video inspired me to add the handles to my 2014 JKU. I experienced the same issue as you did on the rear drivers side door needing an extra tug to open. I was able to make it operate the same as the other doors by adding a tab clip over the contact piece of the latch. The clip was a leftover from the bottom of the JK's old grill. It can be seen on my Amazon review once approved. I also drilled 2 holes on my first attempt as well!
Thanks for sharing! Can you send me some photos of what you mean on IG?
What tap clip are you talking about. I would really like that door to operate like the others
I've already put the JL Hood Latches on and they work great. Looking for to putting these new handles on Monday and I'll let everyone know how the Drivers Rear Door goes...
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Just installed mine, awesome upgrade.
Really, really cool upgrade!!!
6:20 also a subscriber of AutoEdits!
Auto edits is awesome!!!
Pretty cool they’re doing this same with the tail lights too
Personally I like the jk handles especially if they get ripped off or break off road you can always just push the button
Not a fan of the taillights though I guess people are breaking them all the time because the wrap around the quarter panel
Thanks for sharing, I agree
another good video, the handles look realy nice.
Thanks!! I appreciate it!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome video Dex! Great idea with the step drill bit. That has me thinking about drill a couple extra holes so I can use that spay in sound deadener on the doors! Thanks for the great idea!
Oh, that new door handle is going on my Christmas Wish List!
Your very welcome! The step bit is awesome for these type of little jobs! Makes life so much easier with the right tools! Thanks for watching!
Okay you have had these on for a while. How are they holding up?
Great video. I am wondering since I have a 2 door 2013 JK with manual windows the install must be easier ?
The hand crank removal is a pain. Get yourself a removal tool.
Hey Dex great video I’m bout to install my door handle today. Hopefully it’s goes smoothly as your install. Quick question?? Can you provide the link to where you purchased your interior RUBICON red trim pieces from plz. Much appreciated. Ty
Good day AdventureDex, I purchased these and threw them on my JKUR Recon. First off the installation was easy and they all work just fine, but all the handles have about 1/4 - 1/2" gap in them when the doors are closed. And the rattle and make noise when driving. Did you ever have any issues like this? I mean it's an easy fix, I just need to purchase some stronger and slightly longer springs so the handles close tightly as they should..... Let me know if you ever experienced this issue?
Thanks, Dan in Japan!
I am experiencing this issue... did longer springs help??
I had same issue on rear drivers side door, otherwise they are great.
just curious on the tailgate - i got these and everything is fine except the tailgate one flops around b/c it's meant to be horizontal...any fix for that?
I like em, don’t need em. I need JL front fender lights. They are awesome
I need fenders too but everyone is sold out 😞
just gonna jump cut past the fact you had to drill a second hole? lolol good vid! wondering if these would fit my 11 liberty
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 haha thanks!
i have different door handles on my jeep which dont have the spring or bracket with the 2 screws does anybody know where i can buy just this items?
Been missing your videos bro!
A lot of fun stuff to come!! Thanks for the support!
@@adventuredex can't wait!!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
any reason as to why my outside door handle isnt working but it does from the inside? i just put it all back together and now my passenger side door is only accessible from inside even when the car is unlocked.
But can I change the gladiator door handles to the old Jeep style handles?… which I like better.
🤪 haha good question
Hello, where did you purchase the A-Pillar Switch box with the phone charge outputs?
Who does that song at the end
Does the handle get stuck?
Hey! Are you in Nassau? I’m visiting my family this week. Love your videos and have done several of your Jeep upgrades.
Yes I am! I appreciate the love 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Went to the Fish Fry this even. Heading back to Texas Thursday.
Hope you enjoying yourself! 🤟🏼
Very nice dex ❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@adventuredex new ones have led light change color that's ones going on my JK . Thanks for install video makes allot easier .
Only thing holding me back is dropping that nut in the door!😳 Wonder how I can prevent that nut from falling?
Lol maybe use a magnetic socket?
Magnetize your socket or put stick grease in the socket
I didn’t mean this Hole I meant this Hole 🤔🤪… Thank You for taking one for your Audience 👍🍺
😆😆😆
They "open" on the wrong side. They should open toward the rear of the door, not the front.
Look really cool, but I would lose the nut in the door.
Sorry dex,;! The product lost me after the 3rd T-25 screw. I think i will pass . Seems like alot of effort . But once again, thanks for a well thought out video.
Haha!! What’s wrong with torx bit??
Well, the price just went dramatically up... whether it's Furyengraver raising the price to get more profit out of the sudden increase in interest or demand, or it's just Biden's disastrous economy affecting this product like everything else is up for debate, but I'm less inclined to purchase now.

I don’t understand mods like this. If you want JL door handles just buy a JL. Also, I don’t think a power drill qualifies as a basic hand tool.
My JKU is paid off and I bought another car I wanted. So now I. Have two cars. I don’t want a JL I just want the smarter engineering updates without paying 35K+
