Re: shave or paint

ive honestly never been a fan of shaved handles.

I think a nice set of painted handles is nice! but def shave the ass end.

Re: shave or paint

shave them if you have the money to get the bodywork and paint done right.


i love my AVS bolt in actuators, they haven't failed me in 2+ years. every time i hit the button, the latch opens.

you can mount solenoids inside cab or go with actuators. The bolt in kit uses actuators.
