EverY ThIng Is bEtter SHAVED!!

Ok so I know there are some other guys in here who have shaved their handles, and I'm wondering how difficult it was to rig the solinoids to work, and I also understand there are push and pull solinoids. So which one works in our trucks and does anyone have pics of when they shaved their handles.

Here's some pics as requested. Modified locks, looks pretty ghetto but it worked. Solenoid was a puller not a pusher. All I did was weld an arm off the locking mechanisms.

Re: EverY ThIng Is bEtter SHAVED!!

I have used autoloc it is a remote type, very easy to wire.
My sugestion is to use heavy duty solinoids 35-75 lbs.
the hardest part is finding out were to mount them.Make sure to mount were they will allow the cable to operate as freely as posible. A back up cabe is also recomended in case your battery dies.
Or go real old school and use a cable only system.

The modified locks worked well when I was on a budget, but I am now in the process of suiciding the doors and going to bear claws.
