Lock Ma, no HANDleS

The plates are machined from stanless steel, and backed with white lexan. They are back lit and wired together with the running lights, and there is an LED mounted behind that flashes when the alarm is armed. It is still a work in pregress.

Cool. How do you get in?

I use the auxilary outputs of my alarm to activate heavy duty solenoids in the doors. I don't have any locks to slim jim or pick and in fact, don't even have inside door handles. When I finaly get around to finishing, the tail gate and wheathergard truck box will all open the same way. It already read has automated windows that are controled by the alarm and will have remote autostart. Thanx for your interest.

I did that on my last truck, Toyota. This time I wanted someting I could return to stock if I sell it. I took my original handles to the machinest and he built these to use the factory mounting holes and even angle the one post just like the handles had been. More than that I wanted to get the Word out.

Regarding tripple post, this post fit into every board I posted it to. light duty 2500 and the truck is, pictures and there are, appearence and that's what it is. Thanx for watching the boards for off topic posts.

I have no problem with the religion aspect at all personally but there is gonna be lots of idiots out there that will, and most of them are stupid enough to mess with you ride because of it.

What does it say on the passenger side?

Man, if someone messes with that because of what it says, I feel sorry for what them where they're going.

Yes I was aware of the possibility of people vandalizing my truck because of the message even before, and I decided it was worth the risk. If someone messes with my truck there fate would be the same as someone who doesn't mess with my truck. They can be forgiven just as I am and "Those forgiven much, love much".

The passenger side also has Jesus. My goal for the tail gate handle will be three cut outs, a heart in red, a cross in white and a "?" mark in blue. I think from a distance it will look patriotic(which I am) and that may get people to look closer.

The heart is for the love of God, cross is for the sacrifice made and the "?" is for those who may have questions. If this does not look like I hope I will go back to my original idea of one cross in the center with two smaller crosses on either side. Significant of the two thieve's who were hung with Son of God. The theive's represent the world, one accepted His sacrifice and one denied Him. Please don't hesitate with any questions.

Very cool. Your vehicle's a great way to express yourself. Way to go man.

Not really big on the religion aspect of them, but hey your ride your rules. Either way though they look great, something different in a world of similarities. Of course after seeing this, I'm sure alot of people will copy your idea. A Chevy bow-tie, or dodge ram head (or w/e) would look great on something like that as well. :thumb:
