    You're welcome!

    I understand the frustration, esp when the solution is just out of reach.

    Would love a grab handle, but the only one in production has a questionable track record and is kinda expensive, so here we are

    Ordering KTJO4x4's grab handle is like entering the lottery. I guess I was a winner.

    Although after reading through the shitshow lots of folks went through to get theirs, I'd think twice about picking one up again.

    I was an early pre-order and waited 13 months for delivery. Then I waited 4 more months to install it because I had a broken leg. But now that it's a done deal it works good, looks good, and I'm glad it's there when I need it.

    KTJO4x4 is the only one I know that's making the grab handle. She's ban from TW. But you still can order from her website.

    So I received a driver's side grab handle when I actually ordered a passenger side B-pillar handle. Haven't gotten a single reply from email and phone calls to KTJO4x4. Not really sure what to do at this point. The order says it was delivered. I'm definitely not paying return shipping and 100% not paying 15% restocking fee for this BS. So if I don't get a call back from them soon I guess I'll have to sell it to someone on here so I can get my money back.

    Done! Thanks. I posted a one-star review too, because I got the email asking to review the B-pillar. Like...wtf? why is this so hard to handle?

    Not to mention that the B-pillar is still in R&D. It even says "pre-order" in the description. My guess is that it'll take 273 years before it's actually available for purchase, and the quality will still be shit.

    Well it says "Shipment to Customers projected to start 6/1/2021" and I got the shipment notice May 26, so it's about perfect on timing. I don't mind waiting, because whatever, I'll have the truck for a while. A lot of folks are complaining about not receiving stuff even though the timelines are on the page. The bigger issue is just that it's literally wrong and radio silence. Generally I'd just like a refund at this point. My MIL is the one who bought it because she likes riding in the truck but has trouble getting in. So now I just gotta give her her money back or get the right thing. Best case scenario they hastily send me the right thing and I get a twofer! Lol, probably not gonna happen though.

    Which brings me to my question for the group. For those of you who like the handle in the front, does it case a nasty blind spot or no?

    I see what you did there. Another member makes paracord handles for the headrests. They might work for your MIL for 1/8th the cost? :notsure:

    You got that right. :rofl::rofl:

    It depends on your seating position. For me, not at all. I sit upright due to the limited steering adjustment. If you recline back, it will block jus a bit of view.
