that's why you hide a manual release some where accessible from the outside

if the rod ends break and my whole truck falls apart i guess you guys can say i told you so. haha if i were to get rid of the all thread, what would you suggest i used to replace it to make my bars adjustable?

i was thinking the 88-98 handles are just more smooth with the body and give it the smooth look of being shaved but with the reliability of an actual handle. you suggest just keeping the stock handles?
You could use the ends you have and weld them to pipe and get something like this

or find you some higher grade studs to weld on or bolts and cut the heads off
There is a build on another forum (I believe) who smoothed the ridges off the stock handles, it looked very custom
