Toyota Tundra Driver Side Grab Handle Install

[@danfieldsphotog]

Dadgummit!!! Yur costing me a ton of money....lol.....LOVE your videos. Even I can do the installs with the crystal clear instructions you give. SO appreciative!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Hahaha...Thanks Dan!!...so glad to hear my videos are helpful, I appreciate the feedback!!

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Second one I’ve installed in a Tundra after reviewing your installation video. I’m always cautious when working around an airbag.

[@le6014]

Perfect... and, to be very honest I did not notice it until I started to watch all these videos. Very helpful and simple explanation. Easy to install. One more add-on to the list. Thanks for taking the time...!!!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thanks so much, I appreciate the feedback!...and thanks for watching!

[@jkukurugya]

My '06 Tundra had this, I've had my '16 Tundra for 4 years and STILL reach for that darn handle that isn't there, well it's there now! Early Christmas present from my wife, 10 minutes later boom, handle is in & looking great. If you have a newer Tundra just do yourself a favor & put this in. I just used a utility knife to make my cutout & it was fine. Thanks for the video, definitely made me more comfortable with the install.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Nice!...yea I have no idea why they removed it, it comes in handy for sure!...thanks for watching Jerome!

[@jgraham8248]

Exactly.....still reaching for it every time. It'll be in there soon!

[@freddyg.4143]

Just ordered from Sparks and it comes with ALL hardware. Thanks for the video...I will be re- watching when it's delivered!

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That’s awesome, I wish they all included the hardware, makes no sense to me why they wouldn’t!...thanks for watching!

[@srqFF]

Really nice job on the video, thanks for posting. Cant believe this doesn't come factory anymore. Such a bummer.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Yepper, no clue why they removed it!...and thank you, I appreciate it!

@@NitroZ18Fishing where would be best place to go to get this done? I'm not much with a wrench. I've got a custom place that's real good that I've tracked down and has good rep...but don't know if he'd do this.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

yea honestly any shop out there should be able to do this, and it shouldn't cost that much at all so don't let them rake ya over the coals for the install!...lol

Great Video. This helped my dad out. His tundra is 2016 and was looking for the handle add on. Thanks for the video.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

No prob, thanks for watching Brian!

[@ass1racing_869]

Awesome video no questions unanswered about the install gonna do mine now thanks

[@mhm925]

wonder if the previous trucks didn’t have air bags in the a pillar and that’s why it was removed? That handles going to hurt once the airbag deploys.

[@cannedsamon]

NitroZ18 Fishing, Hey, I don't see Toyota or aftermarket part numbers for these items your installing. Could you direct me to this information please? 1) Panel and Handle are 1 kit? 2) Extruded "U" nut n Bolt (did you purchased them at an auto parts store?) Great video and information, I'm going to look into this being I hate not having one on my drivers side 2020 - 1794.

Where would you get the parts from?

[@barrysmith8193]

I am a disabled Vietnam veteran and this is imperative that I have it to get in and out of the vehicle. Just bought a 2021 Tundra and was plenty bummed out that it did not come with the grab handle installed. Thanks so much for this video. Can I assume that it will work on my 2021? Please advise/confirm. Barry Smith

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Yes sir, it’ll work with the 2021!…thank you for your service and let me know if I can help at all!

[@philrobbins2791]

Was there any concern about triggering the curtain airbag and maybe disconnecting the battery before, or was this not needed?

Drivers side grab handle is the steering wheel ( works for me on my 2015 TRD off road Tundra).

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Nothing wrong with that, I did that for years on my last two tundras… But I definitely prefer having the handle!

[@jerryhubbard4461]

What year is your truck are are these parts after market. My dealer does not have this part for a 2018 Tundra

[@carrflip268]

[@mikec8123]

Great idea. I found one for Tacoma's my concern is it seems bulky. Do you notice any loss in vision out the windshield?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

hey Mike!...no sir, doesn't get in the way of vision at all, not sure about the Tacoma but the Tundra all is well!...thanks for watching!

Just so you know, the '07 - '13 door pillar with handle will work. I took the handle out of my totaled '08 and put it in my '21; same gray interior color.

[@homie817x]

Nice vid. Maybe Toyota took out the handle bc it interfere the vision and less damage to driver if side curtain airbag deploys.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!...and yea maybe it’s the airbag thing, that could definitely be the case...but man I love having it, especially with being lifted...hahaha... thanks for watching!

[@Prince_Ali_2-255]

Excellent video! Quick question, did you disconnect the negative battery terminal for this install?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Thank you!… I did not, but you can if you want to to be on the safe side… You barely touch or disturb the airbag in that area so to me it wasn’t necessary, but usually I do whenever working around a bag like that!...thanks for watching!

[@ajsr9]

when you order the part, why does it say "Doesn't fit your vehicle"? is it because you have to do the cut out mod? I have a 2018...

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Yepper, it’ll definitely fit…I’ve noticed a few parts that will say that…I’m guessing it’s because it technically isn’t a stock piece, hope that helps!

[@scottnugent4791]

This is a great mod, but does anyone know if it is true that Toyota quit installing the handle to improve crash test scores?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I’ve also wondered this but never been able to confirm that myself, makes no sense to me that they would leave it on the passenger side if they felt it wasn’t safe, but who knows!

[@jgraham8248]

I say it was to save $5 per truck! Just kidding!

[@RockyTopSplash]

Where did you order from? Cost?

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Got mine from Toyota of Cool Springs website, it was somewhere around $150ish, give or take

[@fisherdetailing3527]

Did they stop doing this because of the side airbag? I’ve been wanting to do this but don’t know if it would matter for airbag deployment

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

That’s what I’ve heard, but the airbag is the same on passenger side and they still have the handle there so it makes no sense to me…I’ve heard Toyota dealers jokingly say that they took it out just to make us spend more money 🤣🤣

[@MYSTICMAN540]

Do you have a part number for Grab Bar? Thanks.

[@wyx904]

where can i purchase?

[@jimhartley5711]

Do you have to disconnect the battery to install the grab handle due to the air bag.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

Usually I would anytime I’m working around an airbag but this install is super easy and you don’t really disturb the airbag at all...you could if you wanted to be extra cautious but most don’t with this one...hope that helps!

[@muletowndumpsters]

Where'd you buy this, Amazon?

[@manuelmenjivar7314]

Awesome install! Did you have to buy the pillar and handle separately or was it all one part number?

Can it fit on a 5th gen 4runner? Interesting thst they have only passanger side but not drivers.

[@nyfan75]

Did you need to disconnect the negative cable before doing this???

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I didn’t, I guess you could to be on safe side, I did disconnect when I disassembled dash in my other video, but doing this install is very minor and you barely touch the airbag at all...wouldn’t hurt, that’s for sure!

[@tootietatum8737]

I didn't and I don't see that you'd need to as long as you're careful. One note - I got my parts online from Sparks Toyota and the extruded U-nut and bolt were both in the box. However, they shipped with an 11mm bolt so make sure you have an extra socket handy. Kind of strange. I guess that's what was laying around the shop...

[@123wars214]

Hmmm I wonder if they sell a grip handle and pillard for my 2020 tacoma. 🤔

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I did a little research for ya and the only company I found so far that has one for “pre-order” is ktjo4x4.com...I’ve never ordered anything from them so I’m not too familiar with them but they do list it for the 3rd Gen Taco’s...hope that helps!

[@123wars214]

NitroZ18 Fishing I actually ordered from that website after I commented on this video! Lol I pulled the trigger, it’s just so necessary to have that grip handle. Especially with these black ”leather” seats on my taco.

[@NitroZ18Fishing]

I agree!...makes it much easier to get in the truck for sure!
