I'm thinking about measuring 4 holes 1" apart and starting with the hole closest to the button drilling a large hole and making my way back to a smaller hole. Or doing the same in reverse. Each hole would basically be a different bit which I think may keep the spacing roughly the same distance between holes... but not sure.

What are peoples thoughts on this? I think it might look good.

I like that idea. I think to really pull it off you will need to have all the holes equally spaced, including the button, and try to scale the holes equally starting with the button so that it looks like part of the design. That may or may not work considering how big the button is, but I say go for it either way.

I vote, Why ? If it was a steel handle then maybe. It does make it look different then stock, but better.

if you are going to drill the handles,do it and if you dont like it you can always make all the holes the same if you dont like them.take pictures first and post and see what other people think

WHY????......to reduce the wind resistance and reduce the weight it gets you better gas mileage DUH!!!




I think it falls into the category of "what can I do for free and that might look cool".


I might do it if I’m really bored one day cause I want my jeep to be different just like everybody else.

I'd like to see that...I think that would look even better going from large to small while going away from the button. post pics when you do it
