    Pasenger side interior grab handle....

    Needed to do this for a while now...wife has a hard time getting up into Ol' Patches..... I had rummaged through the archives of many site before i found a thread over on the DTR that made mention of a set-up I thought would work.

    The grab handle is from a 2nd Gen ram...exact location and trim line I do not know. I hot a few wreckers locally but could not find it. I jumped on E-bay and found one within a few minutes.

    Here is a pic of the unit....from the thread on DTR. (forgot to grab one of mine)



    First remove your trim and pillar cover. I used a spare unit...in OK shape..been dyed a few times and was warped a bit. I Did not want to cut up the nice grey unit (Hoarding for later).

    Then on the flat portion of the metal pillar decide where you want it located.



    Inner holes are 1/4" and the outer holes are for the screws. Next take a bunch of measurements and transfer those to your plastic cover. now grab some files and start working on them.

    Should look something like this....

    Then install the the plastic spacers to make sure they clear the trim.





    Install the handle and screw it in place.



    Then slide the covers over the end and clip them in place.

    Before painting trim....



    And after...



    Will pull the handle later and paint it to match.

    Looks like it belongs and should help those of less stature get up and into Ol' Patches.
