Alright guys, I'm coming way outta left field on this one....

Anybody know anything about the door handles on the Liberator? I love the look, but can't seem to find them.

:? :? :? :? :lol: :lol: :lol:
make them yourself,
they are one off customs like everything else on the Liberator.
I did my rear handle 3 years ago , not a big deal, just drill holes in them!

Its like most cool, neat things if you want unique you build it yourself

Looks good tom! Did you put anything behind the handle for protection or did you just opt to be very careful about it? lol

I told my wife to hold her hand back there.....didn't work though :twisted:
No I taped the drill bit so it would only go through so far.
AND it May not be any faster but I had to lighten it up somehow :wink: :wink:

I'm still waiting for you to do the rest of the handles Tom, I think you could fit 4 holes on each one.

Cool look! Are the handles plastic or metal coated with plastic?
Author:  tommudd [ Wed Sep 03, 2008 11:11 pm ]
Post subject: 
drilled all the way through of course
and
they are just plastic no metal in them at all, easy to do
I suppose I will not be the only one now will I??? :cry: :cry:

Drilling 4 holes you would need to drill smaller holes, I like big old holes
1/2 inch holes in the door handles, 1/2 inch hole though the roof rails to mount the basket

who was it that said " a Jeeps not yours until you drill a hole in it " or something like that :? :? :? :? :? :?

Actually, I was thinking of slotting mine - sort of connecting the holes together thus having a long "slot" in the length of the handle. I may pick up one from a junker and experiment if it isn't too costly.

That would work as well , the handle itself is pretty think so should hold up even with a slot in it!

I think with four 1/2 inch holes it would weaken it too much
they are not solid all the way through, maybe 1/8 inch or so think, have to measure in the morning, garage locked up for tonight :wink:
It may work with four, I drilled the first one and then looked to see if I wanted to go more and thought 3 would do it
drilled an 1/8 inch hole first to see thickness/location etc

OH so when you do drill holes it it you can see the insides of the handle, doesn't hurt anything after over 3 years and 165 times being washed still OK
