Driver Side "A" Pillar Grip Handle Install on a 2014 - 2025 T4R The purpose of this write-up is to help people that are interested in installing a Driver Side "A" Pillar Grip Handle on their 2014 - 2025 Toyota 4Runner. I will list the parts used as well as pictures. Disclaimer: I am not an engineer, so doing this mod, you and only you take responsibility if something goes wrong. Period! This Mod is obviously not for everyone, but if you ever owned an FJC or another vehicle that had a Grip Handle in this location, it may be for you. This mod topic has been discussed in several threads. I even participated in some of these stating it couldn't be done..... Well, it appears I was wrong! I cannot and will not take credit for developing this improvement/mod. All credit goes to Jason! I saw some photos on Facebook pages recently and reached out to the owner of the photos to track the designer and maker of the kit that will allow us to install the Driver Side "A" Pillar Grip Handle. So, I reached out to Jasontamu who's photo is at the link: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2676265-post24192.html , he makes the kit and sells them! I don't know if he follows the forums. He is an engineer for Boeing and works full time, and travels as well for his job. He makes these in his spare time, so sometimes he has some on hand, other times he has to manufacture them. So, remember that when you order one. The Kit comes with custom bracket that you mount to the "A" Pillar of your vehicle using two self-tapping sheet metal screws. He provides a paper template that helps you line it up and step by step photo instructions printed out. Jason states, "No one has had any trouble installing so far. I sold about 80 of them so far. You have to remove the cover plate on the A-pillar that says "SRS curtain Air bag" under there is a bolt and the top of the handle mounts there. the bracket mounts at the bottom location to attach the handle there. I provide the hardware, but you need to go to your local Toyota dealer and get the handle." Grey Interior Part Numbers you will need to get either locally or on line is: Grip Handle Part #: 74680-60010-B0 Grip Handle Hole Cover Part #: 74615-60040-B0 Grip Handle Hole Cover Part #: 74616-60040-B0 Jason is out of town working currently, and will be back on May 13, 2019 and asked me to hold off posting his contact info until then. Ok, Since JASON responded, I’ll post his info here in the first post. Contact him by PM and /or email. Jasontamu Jasontamu2002@gmail.com I installed this mod and I can tell you it is very strong and feel comfortable it will not fail!
