I used nylon, but had the settings wrong for the fill so the hanger hook in the rear is weak. The 3D printed pieces are just outer plates with a through hole. I sprayed them brown with some paint I had.
The weight is held by the M6 bolt into a steel threaded tab I made that is held vertical by a C-shaped tab so the weight hangs off the body sheetmetal.
The bolt holds a steel tiedown ring that the paracord is tied to. I can lift myself out of the vehicle on it. I can re-tie some handles and spray them light tan to match interior. I couldn't find any M6 allen heads at HD so for now they are phillips.
Like I said, proof of concept, not perfect but do-able.
I may try a setup for the front A pillar grab handle, just need to make some different plates as they are odd shaped. I have a few ideas.
