Well I picked me up some handles for my hood. So what do you guys think... Should I leave them white, or should I black em out...???? 008.jpg006.jpg Or do you think that they are too big????

Honest opinion......white or black, they will still look like what they are.

Too nice a truck for those handles.

Now u dont use it for a lift or handle.. While overseas we used the handles to hold ur tow strap! One side connected to the D-Ring the rest tucked under the handles!! This is so if ur in a combat situation and a vehicle is downed one vehicle backs up to it and u just grab and hook.. Same concept when offroading!!! U get stuck someone backs up and all u have to do is grab and go.. It's very useful!!! I still use it!!!

Ok. Ok... The votes have been tallied, and the handles is now a DEAD ISSUE.. I REPEAT...I will continue to go handleless...... I just need to do a few appearance mods and I was pondering that one. Well, have to try and fab up a light bar for the roof, and get some tail light guards. THANKS for the input guys & gal...:thumbs:

Personally, I like the look of hood handles, functional or not.

However, they HAVE to be the ones designed for this application and not some re-purposed hardware.

Had the ****ing dealer not glued down my hood louvers, I would have blacked out that set I had and installed them, instead of trading them out to Hunner.

Just could not make myself drill through the hood to install them.

Yeah, I really dont want to drill any holes into anything. Plus, I did not really like the look of those too much. Another member had used those ones. But that is one mod that I think is best left alone. I always thought that it would give the lil lady something to hold onto though:)

I think I want to put hood handles on the T so that I can strap the beef jerky drier/sun box down with a bungee cord while I'm driving the T, so that I can make my machaca! Now, that would be a practical and good use for hood handles.

Because as some of you know, "Quiero machaco con mis huevos." :)
