I know this is likely to start a barrage of insults, but I just want to know...

I'm not fond of the Bare Metal Door Latch on the Doors and Tailgate:
Ford Bronco Door Latch Covers Door Latch Cover


I have seen these:
Amazon.com: Car Door lock protective cover For Ford F-150 F150 F 150 Focus 3 4 MK3 ST RS Kuga Escape Fiesta : Automotive

I know, I'm the ONLY person in the world that will ever see this when I open the Door or Tailgate, but I just like how it looks. I'm wondering if anyone else likes the clean look this gives when opening the door/tailgate? If so, has anyone seen where I might find these. There are tons out there in ABS, Stainless and a variety of colors for various vehicles. Are the latches on Broncos (Doors and Tailgates) the same all around (can someone check?) and if so, are they similar enough to any other vehicle that I can get a set of these for mine when it eventually arrives?

It's a silly, insignificant modification. But if I can get a set for less than $10 somewhere, I'd really be very happy I did it. Maybe others will join me?

Sorry for the poor image - I had a hard time finding ANY sample.

I was expecting a keyhole cover that was popular about 10 years ago. I probably would say
yes to that, but no on these.

Hard to find a representation, but I did find this to help loading the roof cargo system...

https://www.amazon.com/TOOENJOY-Universal-Foldable-Supports-Rooftop/dp/B08X6PR2NN

Really looks like it'll be useful on the trail to fetch roof-mounted goods without a ladder.

I know, not helpful... hard to understand what you are talking about otherwise.
I have a step like this for our Ranger, it's not useful very often, but when you need it, its awesome to have!

This is the exact model we have, which is slightly different in design from the above, but it's been foolproof even while carrying a load.

Hey there folks.

Can someone post a good picture of one of these Door Latches with a Ruler next to it so that I can see how big they are. I might be able to find what I'm looking for if I have that, please?

I already provided a link that provided product dimensions.

Feel free to click a link and let the learning begin!

That's too easy. If you post correct info, most will ignore it and continue on with speculation. Then 20 pages later, the light bulb comes on. :)

I can digress with pictures of BBQ that I cooked this past weekend, if you think that will help?
