a pillar grab bars

I have a short wife and a tall truck,
So she hates when we go anywhere in my truck which causes me to drive it less.
I don't want to install a drop step, so I have to install a handle.
Does anyone one of good looking or good fitting handles for the ''A'' pillar?

I went and found a set in a junk yard that kinda-sorta matched the color of my truck and put them in. Cost about 5 bucks and just about every vehicle has some so you can take your pick of sizes, colors and looks.

The second one's are close to a 98/99 Dodge truck passenger side A pillar handle. Hit the JY and "grab you some", pun intended lol.

Star headed metric? socket to remove. After you pop off the cover over the hole.

You will need to get some nut-serts to match the bolt size and use them in your A pillar.

Nutserts

Or...every man would put a few holes in the dash for the wife right? If you have an a/c vent there move over under the tip of the dash pad??

I would reinforce (from behind the dash) with a piece of angle iron so it does not bend the dash.
