Interior Rear Grab Handles? (Tundra DC)

Has anyone thought about taking them out of their Double Cabs and install the Grab Handles that fold away by themselves? I have found nice ones in TrailBlazers/Envoy's and was thinking about installing them in place of the OEM ones in the rear.

Any thoughts?

I don't have a DC, but that sounds like a pretty cool idea. Have you checked with the Lexus SUV's to see what their handles look like? I'd recommend staying within the model name (Toyota/Lexus) to ensure the handles will hold up to the possible force put on them. Swapping out with a GM part may not quite fit up perfectly, thus negating the whole point of having those handles. If you feel confident the handles will fit well, go for it!

And make sure to post up some photos of the install, in case some other TSers want to try this 'mod' out
