Grab Assist Installation (2 Viewers)

[2mbb]

**Thanks to Cruiserdan for the grab handles**

I'm going on a trip with some friends in my truck and his wife is petite so I installed the A-pillar and B-pillar grab assist handles on my FJ-60 this morning. The B-pillars already has the threaded holes in the pillar so that was a snap using a 6mm x 30mm pan head machine screw. The A-pillar handles are from an FJ-62. I drilled the pillar and installed 1/4" x 20tpi nut rivets.

B Pillar Handles -- SWEET!!

I've been looking for a good off the shelf solution to this problem for a while now.

You wouldn't happen to have a Toyota part number for those B pillar handles would you?

This is the part number for the B pillar handle. You will also need two 6mm screw about 30mm long. Toyota sells the screw, too (separately) but I didn't know when I purchased them whether I would have the threaded holes. You can feel the lower hole. The upper hole is harder to find unless you have the handle to help locate where it should be.

I count places for no less than five hands in the front passenger seat, and three in the rear. Do your friends have more limbs than the generic human?

Nice job, looks very clean. Now if I could just keep the TUT-like images out of my head.

A-pillar handle is 74610-90K00-A0. There are also plugs to cover the screws (two per handle). I forgot to order those from Cruiserdan, so I'm waiting on my local dealer to get them in. The part number for the plug is 74617-16010-A3

If you've got the threaded holes, but B-pillar installation is really quick--find the hole, slice the headliner and attach.

Cool thread.

FYI many 62's (don't know about 6for grab handles.0's) have captive nuts in all of those spots.

Anybody have the part number for the plugs that cover the mounting screws on these rear grips?

Got the handles installed (best cheap & quick mod yet) and would like to hide those unsightly screw heads.....

Thanks,

my canadian BJ60 has those B pillar handles. That's surprising that the Mercan FJ's didn't have them.

It's interesting how toyota has threaded holes into just about everything on these trucks for each market.

I went to the wreaking yard and got one of the upper handles for the drivers side. Felt around and the holes were there. Cool.

Oh yah the B pillars have no covers over the screws.

Anyone ever try the b-pillar mod in a 62? I just did the a-pillar passenger side handle and also a handle above the driver's door, very easy.

A-pillar handle is 94610-90K00-A0. There are also plugs to cover the screws (two per handle). I forgot to order those from Cruiserdan, so I'm waiting on my local dealer to get them in. The part number for the plug is 74617-16010-A3

Correction: Part no for A-pillar handle starts with 74610, not 9....
Got mine today, thanks for the info guys.
