    I ordered mine form KTJO, then saw some of these posts and panicked a little. Got everything 5 days later. All the hardware is included and all the covers seem to fit well.
    I am going to get different hardware before doing the install, again because of reading the posts here. I will update when the install is complete.

    You desire to drive down the road with your hand off the wheel on a grab handle?

    Kidding aside, I'm 6' (6' 1" with boots) and I find myself using the steering wheel everytime I climb up on the saddle, and my 2020 is stock height. I totally see the function, but still guessing theres a reason on our Tacomas it was omitted, and it wasn't cost.

    Takes me back to my youth when I used to hold the roof on with my left hand. Manual in those days too. :D

    I did get a second driver side grab handle. When I emailed KTJO 4 x4 I already installed your grab bar 4 months ago and why did you send another one. The answer was - Weird. Just the word weird???

    I had surgery a month back and getting in and out of the truck was rough. Heading in to it I contemplated taking the risk on these but figured that splitting my guts open as I got out of the truck was probably more desirable than dealing with KTJO

    I didn’t bother her with the details of my unsolicited grab handle. Just passed it on. I wonder who does her books?

    I've found from researching contractors, etc that people go to BBB to file complaints. Very few will leave a review there one way or the other.

    The nutplate that ktjo supplied fell apart in my hand. No torque required. It was amazing.

    At least one from here submitted a negative commentary to she, who shall not be named, but curiously never got published. So, what’s the point?

    This thread along with the where it comes up on KTJO 4x4 searches is much more likely to be seen by potential victims than an arcane and toothless organization like the BBB.

    And, that also.
