In this guide you will be replacing the tailgate handle. 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra - Tailgate Handle, Textured Black model number (690900C051) is the part you will be using. Make sure to go slow as these screws are very easy to strip. The broken tailgate handle needs to be replaced because you won’t be able to lift it up and down, causing the whole truck bed to be less usable. After this guide you should be able to use your truck bed to its fullest capacity as needed.

You skipped the problematic part about changing the lock.
I’m about to replace my handle.. I also need the 4 white clips that help align the latch rods. Mine were old brittle and all broken. Any chance you have a part number for those small clips?
