Don't know if I would use a wood handle, though.

Won't burn your fingers in the summer sun. No, all kidding aside, I know not the best thing for out in the weather. I was just showing what I found. Lawd knows where and if one could be used. Man cave material for sure.

Speaking of man cave material......I've been thinking that if I don't use the bed I have, since it's a little rough, I may cut off the back 5 inches, all the way across, and hang the tail gate, wire the lights, and hang it in my man cave.

I'd make a couch out of an old bed... with working tail lights of course.

NOT DISCO, but if you have one or more sub woofers in there maybe set up the tail lights to flash with the bass.
