I'm Awesome
Ever look at these beautiful trucks and say to yourself “Man, I wish they had done that from the factory!” i.e. functional drivers side extended cab door. I mean, obviously they had the design. Just needed to mirror it on the other side!
Well something I have been pondering is how hard it would be to add a factory-looking driver’s grab handle. Everyone’s heard how it’s bad for us to yank our way into the driver seat by the steering wheel. Right? Well other than welding in the appropriate threaded anchor points and slightly heating/reshaping and drilling the plastic trim panel, I thing it could be done!
My question is, has anyone ever seen/tried it? If not, standby. I’m gonna give it a whirl! Before I ended up with my current engine set up, I was going to LS swap it. I shaved a 5.3 intake manifold and was pretty proud of how wel it turned out. In so doing, I learned a crap-TON about the plastics used on vehicles. There is a fair amount of plastic welding involved. It’s not new, but it was crazy fun! I will post pics if I can find em.
But y’all let me know if this road has been travelled before! Thanks in advance!
