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

Anyone still waiting for their replacement clip nut? I just received my mine and have no use for it. If you're based in the US and still waiting.. DM me and I will send you mine.

 

Just got mine.

So... I fall under the clipnut/speednut is not correct size category.

What are the recommended course of action? Change it the clip nut? Go for a large sizes bolt? Or change out both?

 

Don’t size up the bolt

I’m still trying to figure out what clip nut I want to get. I bought the “self centering” dorman but don’t like out it’s suspended 1/2” above the bracket causing everything to be pushed up. I want to get one that’s more flush to the top (smallest panel thickness clamp). Thhe only thing I found on McMaster is… wait for it

 

Also, it looks like your covers sit pretty flush unless it’s just the angle.

 

Mine already came installed, and was a little too flushed. Had to use a fine screwdriver to pop them out, made a couple of scrapes, but just sanded them down.

Thank you.

 

Found the self centering clip nuts at Guam Home Center. Those are the ones I used when I did my install. I think it was 96 cents.

 

It all worked out in the end for many. I'm glad I ordered one.

 

Still no response. Hoping since she allegedly works a M-F job that I could possibly hear from her or one of her lackeys this weekend. I'll just be going down the list of contact emails and phone numbers @tonered has been kind enough to link and keep updated for us and sending one every few hours this weekend.

I have plenty of coffee, whiskey and hate to fuel my passion for getting the response I should have received days ago from this dipshit. I can't think of one business that I've contacted in my life that has taken 5+ days to respond to a warranty/return/refund/exchange request.

Will give me something to do when I'm taking breaks while changing out that damn needle bearing in the front diff.

 

Let me tell you, I know the feeling going thru what I went thru BUT my 1st problem is nearly remedied, where I get my hands on my Grab Handleand I'll be able to move on to the next phase where I can size up the hardware, clip nut, bolt cover fitment. Then hopefully I get to move on the Phase 3, The Install! Much to look forward to
I keep returning to this thread for the advice & tips to install this Plug n Play add-on.

 

Best install tip I could put out there..............send that POS back for a refund. lol

 

LOL
I ain't going thru the whole process looking for a Return for Refund

I'd Craiglist it for a loss

 

That's Plan B if i can't get anywhere with KTJO. I thought about filing a disputed credit card charge claim or whatever it's called, but since I, like a lot of us here, purchased it over a year ago, I don't think that's an option anymore.

 

Same, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend ordering one, unless you enjoy rolling the dice.

 

too bad you can't get in touch with Brian(KTJO4x4 team member), he made it happen for me and somewhat relieved my tensions with my order. I was getting no where until Brian came into the picture, he made it happen for me, gave me my tracking#, helped me with the exchange, he followed up contacting me to see if I had gotten a response for it. Yada yada yada

 

I saw his email at the bottom of the list. Is he one of the ones no longer associated with ktjo?

 

Hmmmmm, maybe I'll start from the bottom of tge list.

Or I can just Cc evry one of them. Bahahaha

 

I was thinking, if ever I get my hands on the handle and installed I could live with it's flaws(small nicks/dents/gaps with bolt covers). It's a mall queen but...

 

After being at the main post office in St Louis for close to a month, it is out for delivery today.

 

It appears the Brian@ktjo4x4.com email is no longer valid. Got the "mailer-daemon" returned email

 

Wait a minute, KTJO is an accounting clerk as her legit job, and she's this damn bad about keeping track of money in/money out? That is fucking amazingly comical.
