    Finally got mine installed after buying the right sized clipnut. I went in thinking it'd be a 10 min job but ended up fighting with the bolts for like 45 min. Almost started to question my mechanical abilities! It's a pain to get the bolts aligned because the molds are off a tiny bit. Had to bend the metal in both upper and lower brackets. Because there are captive nuts on both ends, the bolts need to be perfectly aligned and the steering wheel makes it tough to see what you're doing. The fit and finish on the hole covers is really poor. Mine have jagged edges and you could see the lower one doesn't fit right.

    All in all the handle feels nice and solid when climbing in the truck. One banana job with a few cuss words. Overall 4/5 on the Plug & Pray® grab handle.

    On the KTJO web page to pay for shipping, how are they supposed to know which customer is paying? I used Paypal F&F back in April. Is there a comment box to include my transaction number? I don't want to pay for shipping and receive the wrong color.

    I paid for shipping on the page and got a tracking number within 20 minutes (i.e. label generated). She sorts by email address. To minimize error you can state the color in the order notes when paying for shipping.

    Thanks, after all the fiascos going on, I don't want to find out I paid shipping for nothing. I assume I would have to use my Paypal address so they know who placed the order.

    Mid way through the first day of 2021,
    Got a surprised package, and it wasn't the grab handles...

    Never even got the shipping info for this, FedEx just showed up... Happy that I got it, just very confused. Way to start off the year.

    You can put the original PayPal transaction ID and date in the order notes as well. I did.

    I got an email from her saying I owe shipping, which I PAID January 13, 2020 via PayPal per her instructions. Basically she's delayed shipping my order because she has shit record keeping. I sent her a copy of the conversation I had with her where she acknowledged receiving the shipping payment. Hopefully she doesn't come back and say the shipping cost changed and I "owe" her even more money.

    I must be missing the new rave? Are people letting go of the steering wheel when the road gets rough and need a handle? Or are Tacoma owners on average having trouble getting into their trucks?

    I slide right into my Tacoma truck. Never needed any Granny-Bars...

    'cause after he already made his feelings known in his own thread, he decides to sh** all over this thread and to bolster his argument by insulting people. Classy move that.

    It's all about having the two sides be symmetrical. Don't look for a utilitarian explanation for everything. This is like the scooped hoods, which are strictly for looks. At least the grab handle has some use.
