    Just wondering if it's possible to get an oem handle on the driver side as I don't have one, but do the passenger side...

    Well I'll have to take the panel off and see if there's even some bolt holes in there. I'll have to do some digging in some parts diagrams and see.

    My '99 4x4 has one also, must be a 4x4 feature. I'm sure you could get a grab handle and install it on the DS. Those holes are likely there.

    I did this for my '84 4Runner. I did not have a grab handle on both sides, but the threaded holes were behind the roof-line, and I installed an OEM handle.

    Awesome. Gonna order one up. I'm tired of either hopping up in, or tippy toeing and wedging my ass cheek on the seat and scootin in, or pulling the steering wheel and have it lock on me. Lol.

    I would also pull off your pillar cover and see if there is a spot to mount the handle. Getting a new cover with a handle won't be much good if you can't bolt the handle down.

    Bumping an old thread.

    Does anyone know if the double cabs have threads/mounts for an oh sh*t handle, for the front seats, in the proper location for one:
