Burnin Mad Max 05-09-2005, 02:57 AM I'm interested in adding these color matched beauties to my rig but don't have the time to try and tackle this my self. For those who have done it, who had it done? About how many labor hours did they need and how much did it cost. Mackin 05-09-2005, 05:42 AM Real easy Since I've had my door panels off many times it took me less than a half hour per side. Prices will vary. You'll find out what's behind that rubber plug in the door jam in the handle area ;) TheBac 05-09-2005, 06:41 AM Eric (DmaxalliTech) sells them.....pretty reasonable prices too. See the link in my sig...

I did speakers once on my 95 truck and the door panels rattled after no matter what I did. If your as anal as I am about your truck those are the things that drive you crazy. I have no intention of ever taking door panels off again. I'll leave it to the experts... And if they rattle after, I'll go back and Censored , uh I mean complain. HoustonDMax 05-10-2005, 08:03 AM My experience. Less than an hour to do all four doors. No rattles afterword. Highly recommend the DIY route. These door panels were nothing like some previous door panels I have taken off. DLAnderson 05-11-2005, 08:24 AM Had Stealer install mine, as I don't have free time either. $388 in labor only, my supplied parts... Max Power 05-11-2005, 10:06 AM WOW! $388 in labour! Should be 2 hours at the VERY most. If they can't do it in 2 hours they are useless. I would think it would take most people 1 hour. Denali02 05-11-2005, 11:42 AM yeah - i'm like greg & dlanderson. cost me 350 for labor but lacked time and if they broke something they'd cover it - rattles drive me nuts!!!. now i need a painted tailgate handle. i ordered one from eric but he had trouble getting it.

Took me 45min from pulling into the garage, swapping the handles, to sitting in a chair with a beer in my hand checking out my new handles in my Crew Cab. 20 min of that was spent on the first one figuring out how to do it! Just don't add up! Had Stealer install mine, as I don't have free time either. $388 in labor only, my supplied parts... TNRGreene 05-12-2005, 02:13 PM Time for dealer was .5hr per door(service manager showed me). I did mine myself(finished 10 minutes ago)& it took 1 hr including tailgate. | ||
