First thing i missed getting into this truck being a bit handicapped on my right side. Some toyota bean counter must of figured it'd makeup for some of their recalls.

THIS!!!

Superbly designed and produced with OEM level materials and manufacturing. I am among the first 20 who places the order. 1000 of them should be showing up in the next month or so.

I like your optimism. With all that’s been happening, the ‘next month or so’ would be really great.

I’d love the grab handle too but by the pics it looks like it would stick out towards the driver and possible hinder your visibility. Would love to see a pic from the drivers POV.

It is a mirror copy of the passenger side made in the Toyota of China factory. Have a seat on the right side to evaluate.

My 2nd gen had the handle. It didnt obstruct my view anymore than the massive damn A-pillars do that they put in these trucks

All vehicles for the last 20+ year have large A pillars. I'll take the roof strength and crash protection any day.

The last update:

KTJO 4x4 said: ↑

Once I give them the green light, my vendors will reach out to Toyota of China and inform them that we are ready to make the official mold of the OEM DRIVER SIDE GRAB HANDLE and they will make 1000 HANDLES. This will take roughly a month to a month and a half. Once this is done. They will put all of them on a ship and ship these boxes to me. That process takes 20-25 days give or take. I will be waiting anxiously for their arrival. Once they arrive, I will be ready to ship them out to all of you.

I will likely purchase this, but only after I am comfortable with other's installation. Not a skeptic necessarily, just not a jumper on of first runs normally. Really like the idea.

Any idea when it will be available?

Likely by mid August, early Sept.

Will take a couple months to manufacture in China and a month or so to surface ship to @KTJO 4x4 . Local shipping after that.

My steering wheel works just fine as a grab handle.

The ocean part. Yeah, the USPS side will be lightning compared.

i never called these 'oh shit' handles, always called them access handles (something like that anyways), the driver does not need a handle for oh shit times, that is your steering wheel you better be holding onto
the 'oh shit' handle has always been above the passenger window so your passenger does not fall into you while cornering
oh shit handle was deleted when the airbag above the window was introduced, or this is how i always was under the impression of

My thoughts exactly!
I have one on my 1st Gen, couldn't care less about having one on my 3rd Gen.

A person could always weave one out of paracord. There are tons of channels on YouTube for adult male arts and crafts, and a lot of those EDC guys (people who carry too much shit in their pockets, carry knives to process boxes because nothing exciting ever happens to them EVER) have channels and maybe you could reach out to them for your handicapped handle
