Default Finally a HANDLE in my 2013
I'm handicapped so a handle is necc. others may be interested?? some are waiting on Ford some are finding their own, I did the later... My gf took her to a welding shop and had a full custom handle installed, and he did a bang up job.
Although he was very worried about a lawsuit or trouble if I should be hurt by handle or airbag issue, which I completely absolved him. This ain't for everybody but for a feller in a wheelchair, it means I can keep my truck until I'm dead and I don't have to throw out my bad shoulder doing a full press lift getting in it. NOTE; You'll notice the handle is almost the same angle as door/window to help keep from restricting the side curtain airbag.


new custom handle, needs paint to match and I need to dremel the trim a bit more for a good tight fit

Not bad. Does that have some grip on it? Might want some.

He said he went to a welding shop and had it installed. He Never said it was welded in. Reading is fundamental.

It is welded to the pillar, and it is solid stock.

no grip unless I add some, dunno if I'll add any, I'm pretty strong. but some bedliner/non-skid for a paint job wouldn't be too bad.
