Hood Handles

I just put on a pair of the real wheels black hood handels that are power coated black with the cut out for fingers. they really looked good when i held them up on there. but now that i see them on the hood i dont know if i did the right thing or not.does anyone else have them on their hood, they are kind of big and stick out but look at the www.realwheelsacc.com website and tell me if yall thing they look cool or to big please be honest.thanks. i hope maybe when i put the brush guard on in black it will help. blend in and look better. i guess i dont have a choice now since i drilled holes for them.

If you're talking about these....I think they look about normal and a brush guard would compliment the whole arrangement.

Yes Dennis that is them. thanks for helping . right now they do just STICK OUT VERY BIG AT YOU when you look at the frount of the H 3 i hope the brush guard will help blend them in.I reallly like this forum for this reason to ask and help and get advise from other H 3 owners who ideas really count.

No problem ..Give them a chance to grow on you..You're just not use to seeing something on the hood right now.

I noticed on yours they are more lower profile and a littler flater and not so arched high which i think i like better but i will wait and see after the brush guards.

like Dennis said you just got to get use to them then you will love them.

Went out today and got the aries black brush guard and it did help alot on the hood handles . i still have a hard time getting used to something sticking up on the hood.if they werent so tall . The H 2 they are in the hood a inch or two. anyway i will see how it does in time. really dont have a choice unless i put the low profiles ones on but they are billet alimium and i wanted all back or buy a new vent hood . i will just wait and see.

our hood handles aren't in that deep. at least not from the driver's seat view. . . . .

oops, sorry, that was from the passenger side. forgot i was driving on that shot . . . .

what kind of brush guard do you have it looks cool from here? show us a frount view(.never mind i saw it in the other photo.)

As a favor to NASCAR...I'm posting his Hood Handles, Raised frontend, And his Second passion..His first one I'll leave up to Jeff to explain..

Thanks Dennis i could not get the photos to go on the forum. I couldnt reduce them so thanks again Dennis. Anyway do the handles look to large or do yall like them ? Be honest . I am still trying to. I will lift the H 3 when they come down on the price which will happen when more then one company makes the lift that only one does now .I am putting new tires on in a few weeks. I am putting 315 70 17 with custom wheels also.

I think it looks great the handels and brushbar
nice looking truck

My Pleasure Jeff..If you ever get an image manager..640x480 is what usually works good over everyday posting....But I used an Image host after reducing them...And then pasted the URL in the image option. ...[image]URL[/image]

The handles and the brush bar like Mark said... look cool as hell...!!..Very sharp!

ya know, i've never been a fan of the handles on the H3, but they seem to work well on yours. great job.

If nothing else..Like I told a wise guy at work who asked what they were for..I told him they were gun sites for aiming a Fords and Jeeps.

one of the guys on our run today actually has a need for them ever since he put his new brushguard on. he can't get his fingers under the front of the hood to lift it. start for looks, and evolve to functional, who would've thought . . . .

Thanks guys for telling me what yall thought about the handles. I think I will get used to them in time. I think when I put the bigger tires on the 315 70 17 and pro comp wheels the black ones the # 8089 I think it will give it that rugged look I hope I thought about the tail light guards in black also but I dont know yet.

not that i'm ithching to start anything, but do you plan to wheel it? just curious, it would be nice to have someone else here to back up the value of a good mud bath every once in a while.

Yes i am checking into the hummer club around here they have one i am told. and there is a place around here where alot of people go 4 wheeling and rock climbing but i really dont get into rock climbing i just dont get it.but it is fun if you have a jeep with 44 tires on it and a roll cage and then you can just go all out up down and upside down and all aroud and just keep driving.i will go mudding after i get some bigger tires and the exhaust and then a power chip so i dont lack power and stall the more out.i wander after the bigger tires what would something like 511 gears do or the next size up? i know i have always gone up in gears before when i put bigger tires on my trucks. i had 40 toyos on my powerstroke with 456 gears and man what a diffrence it made . so much fast resposnive power it had and low end was awesome. top end was just right to going 65 or 70 on the road.

Talking about hood handles, these are on my wish list:

Wish I could find some actual functioning ones..They'd be real handy for these morons that drive like they are the only ones on the road with a Cell phone stuffed in their ear..
