Buyer Beware: KTJO 4X4 Driver's Side Grab Handles w/ A Pillars, HUD, and Bowl Lights

The real Mazda Bs were sweet. Got to take an MT for a spin a few times.

I was joking about the Ferd twins though. Still, the OG was better than the squat they dropped on us this time around.

 

There's a video of a Mazda tearing it up at Slickrock over here

 

Bit of a lull in the excitement. Good time to talk about the good old days. We won’t be able to contain ourselves when the first guy posts that his grabhandle has shipped.

 

Remember whens are thee best!

 

I've had my Ford Ranger now for 21 years. Even though I'm getting a new Tacoma (it's arriving this Wednesday or Thursday, according to the dealer!), I'm keeping the Ranger for the time being. I figure it's going to take six months of customizing and modifying the Tacoma until it equals some of the features of the Ranger. The grab handles are one small component of this.

 

Been Mia but decided to get me one while it’s still at the “sale” price

 

Good idea. The “regular” price looks a bit daunting. But that won’t matter when the current batch gets sold out, she may request another run and there’ll be no need for a sale. So, get ‘em while they’re hot.

 

93 B2200 here, IIRC the last year with the 2.2 liter engine, just before they went full Ranger clone. Base model, no electric anything, 5 speed, and 1 wheel drive if it got the slightest bit slippery. Put 275k miles on that thing over 20+ years, and my FIL is still driving it around the ranch.

 

Nice! Yeah mine was base too, 5 speed manual, single cab. My dad sold it to a neighbor and still see's it driving around to this day.

 

I have thought about your post at least three times now. LoL!

Sort of looking for the crack hit of the tracking notification.




Still. We're close.

 

Yeah, it is last minute but I didn't secure my new address till two weeks ago so timing for me is just right.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

 

In that case, I approve of this short planning interlude.

 

what are we gonna do for laughs when we’ve got these babies finally installed? I have no more mods in the pipeline.

 

wash, wax, repeat?



You said pipe

 

Sit back, relax, Netflix, and chill.

I got a few slow burners. I need to BST some stuff also.

 

The asymmetrical grab handle is just tacky. What is Toyota thinking? (I would prefer that they just leave it off entirely rather than have it on one side only.) At least now we have a way of correcting this "disturbance in the Force."

 

The left and right dash airbags are different with the steering airbag being smaller. If you look back at the posted test vids, there was a slight contact on the left side, so they deleted the left one.

 

Yeah, my old 5-speed ‘98 B2500 Cab+ (1998-2017) is still running around town somewhere. It’s a great farm truck

I agree with Nova though. It was lazy. They should have redesigned both sides. The grab handle is big and blocky compared to other gens, no?
I squeeze out of my truck in our narrow garage all the time, and I’ll be happy to have something to hang from. Save the bolsters!
