Grab handle solution

I took a chance and ordered these grab handles from Am@zon. They come two to a pack.
They fit the passenger A pillar very well.
They are very sturdy and are a great solution over the OEM bump.
I still have to trim the covers to fit around the strap.

 

What about driver side? That is what I need!!!

 

wouldn't be surprised if you have to buy new plastics to get the bolt covers so careful, rethink your approach....
Those a pillars are made of gold per Toyota's pricing, over $300+ for the 2.......
Not sure how well your covers will stay in place, after a ton of trimming so every time you grab the handle the strap doesnt pop the cover off...

update pics??
how did it workout?
maybe im wrong....

 

I don't personally see a way those covers would work with the grab handles shown. Maybe if one drilled out the covers for the bolt, and used a longer bolt and washers underneath the cover...

 

I bought a set of A pillar finishers off e-bay as back up.
The covers will have to be hot glued back on. As I had to trim away one of the retaining clips.
You are right about the angle of the strap putting a side load on the trim cover. I have that sorted out.
Pics coming soon.

 

When I was contemplating just getting a tacoma w/o the jbl I priced the pillar plastics, they were a fortune, even for the non jbl....
& you can even buy the jbl tweeter grills seperate from the entire unit.
So doubtful you can get those tiny covers w/o buying the entire unit, speculating....

 

Are there airbags in the pillars? There have been in several of my other cars. That handle might turn into a projectile if they deploy.

 

No air bags in the A pillar.

 

Only one bolt on the driver's A pillar.
You need something like this..

 

Really !!??

 

That's considered the side curtain air bag.
But, too close to call.

 

Which runs from the roof line and on down the a-pillar.

 

Got the bolt covers installed.
Top one I had to hot glue into place.
Top cover I had to remove one of the retaining clips to clear the strap.
Bottom cover was able to snap in.

Makes life so much easier for passengers.
