DI passenger grab handle *rare*

[diesel&mud]

**SOLD**

Goes in place of passenger airbag. Looks like early Disco I. Rare in North America. I removed it and went with a Caseys Rover tray. I paid $75 plus shipping.

WOW! this is unobtainium

 

[crown14]

that sure looks like the handle from an 89-93 discovery to me, not the 94-99 handle that would fit the US spec trucks

What's a Caseys Rover tray?

 

[Greg Davis]

Sorry for the delay - money sent.

Hey could you show us a pic of your dash with that "Caseys Rover tray."

 

[diesel&mud]

As requested

 

[slanginsanjuan]

oooooo man. i want that.

 

[slanginsanjuan]

and nice job with that dashboard curl repair kit. i need to do that too. i'm going to post your pic on landroversforum as we were just talking about that.

Nice tray. Line the bottom with rubber and you're all set. A latching lid to keep items secure would be really cool.

Send Casey a email and ask. I'm sure he can accommodate you. PM me if you want his number. He is located in Sublimity, OR.

That's a DII, isn't it?

 

[diesel&mud]

Nope, DI with a 300Tdi.

 

[Greg Davis]

Got an email back from Casey. He makes them for DI's and DII's.

$75 is well worth the price. Try fabbing up a piece of sheet metal, finishing it, and then painting or powdercoating for that kind of $$, let alone the time spent on it. One is on the way for me. I'll just delete the front panel so I can install the grab handle.

For $75, that's hot. What kind of install does that entail? I'm hesitant to sacrifice safety for my wife for a cool box for candy and snacks.

 

[crown14]

Sorry dude, but your wife isn't any more safe in a crash waiting on a 15yr old airbag to properly deploy. Plus, it isn't for candy and snacks, its for her purse.

Greg Davis I am shocked you aren't making your own solution? When I had my yellow TDI Disco with the (correct) grab handle I was going to just have a fiberglass insert made to cover the holes in the dash pad that are exposed when you remove the air bag. Then I met a local kid who hand makes carbon fiber skateboards and he was going to do it... then I sold the truck.

I took a piece of 18 gauge that I had sitting around, bent it with a hammer and vice, painted it cummins beige, and sandwiched it between the grab bar and dash. It looks alright with the factory ROW mat covering up the bottom of the grab bar. Way less than $75 and IMO looks better than that bread pan thing. I've thought about adding a spring loaded aux 12v plug to the metal plate too so that passengers can keep there crap over there instead of messing up the center console.


Only pic I have is unfinished. I'll try to remember to take a finished one this weekend.

 

[Robbie]

is removing the air bag fairly simple? how much concern for inadvertent bag deployment? I've had the factory grab handle for over a year and still have not got around to installing. but after seeing all this, want to get back on it. really like the idea of an aux 12v in there.

 

[robertf]

yes

turn off the battery, pull the air bag, replace with .5 ohm 5 watt resistor, reassemble

low concern for accidental deployment. the plug shorts the connector when unhooked
