Full Door Outside Handles - $175?

[Arthurius]

My Jeeps passenger outside handle is falling off. It isn't the latch mechanism that is failing, however it doesn't engage until its almost fully pulled out. The aggravating part is the entire assembly not being held by the 'keeper' that holds it to the door. I looked online and an entire set can be found on Amazon for about $30 for both sides, with new keeper, interior, and exterior latches.

Mopar handles (55176383AE & 55176382AE) are listed online at $175 for ONLY the exterior latch.

What gives? Has anyone used these Amazon Deluxe handles? I fear the last guy used them and that's why I'm trying to source new keepers, but the Mopar alternatives are way too expensive to justify.

Also, any tips about replacing the door handles is appreciated. I wasn't expecting this to be such a shitty repair.

I mean $300 for both new latches I may as well buy new doors?

I'd buy the Amazon ones before I'd ever pay $300 for door handles.

I just out new door handles on
Mine were FUBAR after 250K

I only paid $10 or $20
They come thin coat black steel
I put Rustoleum Pro truck bed lining on them
DO NOT INSTALL THEM WITHOUT A SEAL COATING

Nothing justifies $300
Thats alot of middle man markups for a basic thing
Theyre on Aliexpress or Amazon very low cost

I bought handles on Amazon for like $50 and so far they're AS GOOD as the OEM ones I replaced.
Build quality feels identical between the two.
