    This is only a 3D Model for me to test fit and make sure everything works perfect. It is not the final OEM part. Once I give the Final OK, this will go into FINAL production, which means....I give my vendor the approval to give Toyota of China the approval to start making the Grab Handle. From there, it will take a month to a month and a half to be complete. That is when I pay 30% of the cost to make the Grab Handle and you my friends start buying like crazy and get your friends to start buying like crazy so that when it is complete, total cost is paid in full and we all get our Grab Handles that will be shipped over to us. Yes. Shipped over to us. Not by plane, but by a ship because there will be a ton of boxes when you order 1000 Grab Handles!!!!!!!!!

    These are looking good. Hope they work out well as I see many of us who miss the drivers handle. Nice job so far. :hattip:

    I tell you what, it feels even better. I know it’s not the OEM Match yet, but it’s pretty awesome having it in your hand and knowing that it’s right around the corner. I cannot wait to install it and show you guys. This is going to be awesome. I really think you all are going to love it just as much as I do. I cannot wait to give the approval and get these ordered for everyone to have in their trucks

    No. I ordered 1000 of them for the first batch. Depending on the orders will dictate how many I do in Black and how many I do in Grey

    Well, knowing your attention to detail I'm sure it will be as close to OEM as possible. Will be looking forward to these.

    @KTJO 4x4 Thanks for taking the leap of faith and investing $$$ in this endeavor. I look forward to getting mine. Now, if we can just light a fire under Toyota's a** and get me a build date for my army green Pro.

    @KTJO4X4 how easy is it to remove and re-install the new mod? I am eye'ing a black one for my '17 TRD DC Sport but wanted to get a sense of the level of difficulty to make it happen.

    Install will be pretty easy. Maybe a few minutes. There is just one bolt to remove the stock. Installing looks to be two bolts due to the handle

    Edit: you’ll need a 10mm sock and a flat head or trim tool to remove the air bag decal. I use a small flat head gently removing that decal.
