Fabbing grab handles?

Anyone thought about or made paracord “o-shit” handles? I’ve thought about doing it but wouldn’t really know how to start/didn’t know if it was safe? I know how to make the paracord braid and such but wasn’t sure if it was even possible? Any ideas or thoughts on the project? I tried to search around the forum but couldn’t find any answers?

 

The handle is the easy part. The mounting location is what is difficult. I’d start by ripping out the A pillar plastic and see where you can secure a handle. There should be bolt holes.

 

Okay I’ll check it out. Yeah the handle part wasn’t really what I was worried about. Definitely more concerned about where to mount them

 

The mounts are still in the A Pillar, one is threaded and the other simply needs a J Nut or a Nutsert

 

As shakerhood stated, the holes for the grab handle is already there. The new Tundra didn't came with the driver side handle either, however people were getting the handle from older models and installing them into their trucks. I bet anything is the same scenario for the Tacoma, you can probably buy a set from an older model, perhaps from eBay and you are good to go! Check the DIY below.

@TacoG99 Here's another member who makes them, he does awesome work too I got a set for the head rests that work great and now that I seen this I need to get another set for my grab handles.

Here’s a picture of the A pillar, top has a nut bottom doesn’t.

 

A simple J-Nut or Rivnut will solve the lower spot.
