Has anybody installed a grab handle on the driver side similar to the same handle on the passenger side ? I'm missing the grab handle on our F250 for hauling myself into the driver's seat.
Possible complications/negatives to attaching a handle to the A pillar on the driver side ?

fieldchmn,

I have one installed on my "A" pillar.

Installer must be someone experienced, the pillar has a lot of electronics wiring and air bag, inside of it. Believe they took my passenger side "A" pillar apart to see exactly where they could place it. Picture of it on Thread "On the Road Again"

It can be done.

It is discussed in other Threads, also. Type in driver's grab handle in SEARCH box, above right.

Thanks ! Any thoughts on attaching the handle to the pillar with an industrial epoxy to avoid have to drill into the interior of the pillar ?

fieldchmn,

I suppose you could, but if you want to do it that way, why do it at all. :| It won't be secure, most likely with any appreciable weight, it will pop the whole trim piece off. That's why they are secured to the pillars.
