Passenger side Grab Handle: Part numbers and prices

[emax]

@ECrider, thank you for the feedback.

A lot of money.

But here comes the really bad part: I have now some other offers, of which Krah+Enders actually was the least expensive. However, I was told that prices have increased recently. Don't know yet how much.

But one offer stood out and beats them all: a German agent that sent me a quote of over 600 Euros. Six-hundred ! A cheeky rip-off.

Believe it or not.


PS: mounting not included, of course.

What are all those parts anyway?

The grip.
Two bolts with washers.
A plastic trim with two small caps.

That will be $1000 please sir.

Jeeze. I could understand $100 all in, but paying upwards of 50 for the little covers. Oi.

It is possible to do this on a US Gren.

Here is the picture.

There are two ways to do this. The right way and the hacker way.
Right way is to order the grab handle, screws, the two screw cover tabs and the left side A Pilar trim piece with the correct left hand grab handle cut outs from the right hand drive model vehicle. Install all parts and you have it.

Unfortunately, the right hand drive parts are not available in the US. So you can order the grab handle, screws, the two screw holes covers and then will need to cut the trim panel to fit the handle in the left side of the vehicle. Relatively easy to do.

Here is the part that bites you. Those little plastic tabs that cover the holes for the bolts on the grab handle. The pair costs more than the grab handle. Why, I have no idea. Makes zero Sense to me. Maybe someone can explain it.

Disclaimer: Someone also brought up a good point about interference with the A Pilar airbag. I think this is something that needs to be considered for safety reasons. Don’t do this unless you know what you are doing and understand the operation and safety features of your vehicle.

Well done, I don't think there shouldn't be an issue with the airbags one would think, as they look the same once the interior trim is removed, the only difference I could see is one has L and the other R with corresponding colours.

For a non-luxury purpose-built rig, it certainly feels like I'm paying luxury prices for parts.

LHD driver-side grab handle recently quoted $404 for the part and $530 installed.​

The bike receiver hitch plate is $516 no installation. No wiring nor stiffer spring. Not towing but need for a 2" hitch-attached bike carrier.​

$36 for touch-up paint, which looks like the dealer labeled a pill bottle.​

$40 for an oil filter​

Upon purchase, the dealer installed Rock Sliders for $1375ish + $225 or $250 for full hr install (even though Ienos calls for 0.5 hr to install). $1603 OTD price.​

Pains of early adoption I get it. Can't wait till Ienos Automotive gets their stuff together with a North American Parts warehouse, so ALL Ienos brand parts are available [especially the bull/roo bar], including OEM Parts listings and prices to call out gouging Dealer Parts managers, need repair manuals, and wire diagrams too. Love the vehicle, not yet warm and fuzzy on infrastructure for DIY.
