Driver's side oh **** handles?

[scmsltn]

My truck is lifted and after I replace the door pins, I dont want to keep using the door to put my weight on when I get in the truck.

Has anyone mounted handles on the drivers side? If so, post up some pics and how you did it?

Are there any GMT400's that had driver's side handle setups I can look for in the yard?

Thanks, Jeff

I'll have to consider this. My truck is just stock height and I have nerf bars that I use to step up with. Usually I use the steering wheel, but a handle might be nice. I don't like them on the a-piller though. I'd prefer one the roof next to the door where I might hold it while driving.

How about one on the door jamb between the seat and the headrest or so?

also a good idea

I don't like the idea of the door jam. 1st of all, it's kind of counterproductive to pull yourself up to the back of the cab. Worst leverage point in relation to your body. The A pillar really is the best spot as far as pulling somene into the cab, I just don't like it there and I like to hang on to a handle while driving. Wouldn't be able to do this with the handle next to the headrest. Although they don't look quite as good, a loop/strap might be easier to install and easier to reach.

I think if you could locate a right hand drive truck it should have a setup just like what is on or right side a pillar since the passenger would be on the left side.

That make sense?

Makes sense, but right hand drives would be hard to find. Also, all you would have to do is take a passenger side handle and flip it to place it on the driver's side.

Time to start browsing the LONDON and BRISBAN craigslists. Ha ha.

I thought about it, but never did it. I don't need it, I just step into the truck.
