01 Driver's Side Grab Handle

I can confirm the other year models (at least 02-04) will fit an 01. My 01 didn't come with it but I found an 04 at my local junk yard with one. You'll need the A pillar, handle and the 2 bolts.

If you're pulling from a junkyard, just be aware that Toyota used threadlocker on the bolts so they can be hard to remove. The good thing is that they're 10mm instead of philips/js screws like on 4runners.

 

Honestly mounting something else there is a far better use for those threads than a handle. I've owned my truck for 6 years and never once had an inkling of desire to take my hand off the wheel and grab it.

 

Mine mounted up perfectly. Pretty sure it was off an 03. But that was one of the first things I did. I bought it off a guy from cl. Bolted up as it should.

 

Yeah I just don't use those handles so it was a no-brainer for me. Perfect spot for the GPS though.

 

Guess I'll start looking for used gray handles.

 

Do you still need a pic of my 04? Sorry I completely forgot about this.

 

That would be great!

 

Thanks! Just what I'm looking for.

 

Once you find a grab handle pillar would you sell your smooth one? @TRD493

 

I'll have to think about it! I usually save all my old parts like that.

 

I took the trim off my 2001 Tacoma Single Cab today to see if there are threaded mounting points. I took the passenger side grab handle and mounted it on the driver's side. They seem to be the same part and are just reversed when installed.
