Default Shaved Door Handles

Anybody ever shaved the handle off of the driver's and passenger side door on one of these trucks? Any pics? Did you use a hydraulic cylinder to then openclose the door?

Can't say that I have done it, nor have I seen, nor will I ever.

sounds a little rice for my tastes but ya know it might look slick. of course it can be done. i have seen a lifted truck with the handle shaved and relocated to the underside of the door. now that job was slick

I haven't done it but the process is pretty simple. Remove the handle and use some sheet metal to fill in the hole then bondo, sand smooth and repaint. Then you will need an alarm system or some sort of remote system to use door poppers to open doors.
