Some 4WD upgrades grab attention from the outside. A paracord pillar handle makes its difference inside the vehicle, every time you reach for it.
The A pillar sits beside the windscreen. Many 4WDs have a factory grab handle fitted in this area. Replacing the hard factory handle with a handmade paracord pillar handle gives your hand a thicker, softer grip.
It also adds colour to an interior filled with black, grey and beige plastic.
Why the Feel of a Pillar Handle Matters
Your pillar handle sits where your hand naturally reaches when getting into a higher vehicle.
A hard plastic handle often feels narrow and rigid. Braided paracord gives your fingers a wider surface to close around. The woven finish also feels warmer and less slippery than smooth plastic.
Krawlergrips pillar handles are shaped by hand. The weave creates a solid grip without sharp plastic edges pressing into your fingers.
This makes them a practical interior change for vehicles with suspension lifts, larger tyres or higher side steps.
Made for Your Hand
A grab handle should leave enough room for your fingers.
If the handle sits too tight against the pillar, your knuckles rub against the trim. If the handle hangs too loose, it feels awkward when you grab it.
Krawlergrips offers custom lengths to suit different mounting points and hand sizes. Measure from the centre of one mounting hole to the centre of the other. Add around 3 to 5 cm for comfortable hand clearance.
Contact us before ordering if you need help checking your measurement.
A Colour Combination Made for Your 4WD
Pillar handles give you an easy way to match your interior, paintwork or other accessories.
Popular colour choices include:
• All black
• Charcoal grey and black
• Red and black
• Blue and black
• Burnt orange and black
• Hot pink and black
• Purple and black
• Custom two colour combinations
Choose a plain colour for a clean factory style finish. Pick two colours if you want the handle to stand out.
Each Krawlergrips handle is handmade to order in Brisbane, Australia.
Which Vehicles Suit Paracord Pillar Handles?
Paracord pillar handles suit many 4WDs and utes with factory screw-mounted handles.
Depending on the model and year, this includes:
• Toyota LandCruiser
• Toyota Prado
• Toyota Hilux
• Nissan Patrol
• Nissan Navara
• Ford Ranger
• Mazda BT-50
• Isuzu D-MAX
• Holden Colorado

Check your vehicle before ordering. The handle needs secure factory screw mounting points.
Krawlergrips do not fit clip in handles. Do not drill into an A pillar or alter trim containing curtain airbags. Speak with a qualified automotive installer if you are unsure about your vehicle.
Pillar Handles Versus Roof Grab Handles
The location makes the difference.
A pillar handle mounts beside the windscreen. Your hand reaches forward and slightly upward.
A roof grab handle mounts above the door. Your hand reaches directly overhead.
Both locations need the correct hole spacing and secure screw mounts. Measure each position separately, even if you plan to order matching handles.
What Are Krawlergrips Pillar Handles Made From?
Krawlergrips uses genuine Type III 550 paracord.
The cord has a woven outer layer with seven inner strands. Nylon paracord feels smooth without feeling slippery. It is also resistant to mildew and rot.
The finished handle has a thicker profile than a standard piece of cord. Your hand closes around the full braided section, giving you a comfortable and balanced hold.
How to Clean Your Paracord Pillar Handles
Clean your handles with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Rinse them well and leave them to air dry fully. Keep them away from bleach, harsh chemicals, dryers and direct heat.
Strong sunlight will fade some colours over time. Neon colours tend to show fading sooner than darker colours.
