Grab Handle for Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Racks

Video Transcript for Kuat Ibex Truck Bed Racks Grab Handle Review

Hi, everyone. Aiden here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at this Grab Handle for your Kuat Ibex Truck Racks. It's gonna give you a handle to grab onto as you're getting up into your truck bed, maybe to access the top of your Ibex and load something up, and just make it a little bit easier. Let's check it out. Now, this is custom fit to go on the side channel right here, and it'll only work when your Ibex is in the full height configuration.

That's with this middle piece in here right now. So if you're operating with a low profile mount where that piece is missing, then the handle's just not gonna work. But in those cases, the top of the rack is going to be a lot more accessible, and you probably won't need the handle anyway. But it'll just bolt into the channels here, with some T-bolts or some T-nuts in the back, much like all of their other accessories do, and how the whole rack gets bolted together. So it should be fairly familiar, if you've already got the Ibex.

And if your truck doesn't have an assisted step like on the corners of some Silverados and Sierras, then this can be really useful, because it just gives you an easier way up into your truck bed. It's obviously still a big step up, but it gives you a better place to grab onto. And if you have something like the Mollie panel accessory in the way, where you can't really grab onto the upright of the Ibex, then this is going to be a great option. It doesn't take up much space. It's a solid anodized aluminum, so it's very strong and sturdy.

But then it also pushes that handle back a little bit, so it's a little easier to reach with the tailgate fountain. But that's really all there is to it. It's a handle. It's gonna work exactly like I expect it to. It was really sturdy, so I didn't feel any sort of flex whenever I put my body weight on it.

And that's all I can really ask for. If you don't have any need for it, then you can just continue to just grab onto the upright here, and step into the Ibex that way. But if you want a little bit of extra clearance and a somewhat smaller handle that's easier to grab around, then this could be a good fit for you and your Ibex. Thanks for watching.
