Those are for when my kids ask "are we there yet over and over" lol , joking joking . It's just aesthetics to make it look more like an original h1 hummer. These h3s get a lot of static and hatred from the off road community so I do what I can to make it just a little bit better to earn trail respect, the handles cause attention and that causes questions about it next thing ya know I'm rockers deep in mud with a jeep or a Toyota showing em what the old girl can do!
