Drivers side grab handle add!

I found this PDF




on adding a OEM driver grab handle to a 2014 Tundra when they stop adding them, I am wondering if I can do this to my 2016 TRD being it helped me get in and out on my Tundra. It looks like maybe the part can be ordered and would fit on the plain pillar.

I wonder if the tacoma part before they took it off like a 2014 maybe work! Any mod advice thanks

 

This should be obvious, but I really hope a new handle does not interfere with the airbag there.

 

Are you thinking of adding and when was the last time Tacoma's had it, maybe look in a pick n pull scrap yard or order the last dated one they had it?

 

Not really, just mildly interested in the idea of one.

 

I'd love to have a driver's side grab handle....subscribed!

 

I'd hate to have a drivers side grab handle shaped dent in my head.... Just sayin...

 

Airbag is there now. Prefer airbag to grab handle.

 

Don't understand why the 3rd gens don't have grab handles yet the 2nd gens has grab handles and curtain airbags. Strange.

 

just grab the steering wheel

 

Any body add one yet? My 78 year old Father-in-law, sold his Tundra to down size and needs it to get in. He had a second gen Tacoma that had it as well. He has the 2017 Tacoma Limited, but is thinking the new Ranger when it comes out, just because of the handle delete! Why doesn’t the passenger side handle interfere with the airbag? There has to be a solution for this ex marine with a bad back. Thanks guys!

 

Pull the A pillar trim and look.

I'll wager there is no boss to properly bolt one too like the 2nd gens have.

 

There is still 1 threaded spot and the other standoff just needs a Nut-Sert.

 

There ya go fellas! Mod away!

Thanks to @shakerhood for having looked

 

I took a good look in there when I did the Subaru Tweeters.
