Meet The Mcleod's

Hi, I’m Anita, and this is my husband, Shane McLeod. I’m the proud creator of Krawlergrips, and husband Shane is my biggest supporter every step of the way.

It’s wild to think back to January 2021 when this all started. I made a set of grab handles for myself, just for fun, and Shane posted them on his socials. To our surprise, the response from the 4WD community was huge! That’s when Shane asked me, “Do you want to make some for friends who are asking for them?” Without hesitation, I said, “YES!” And just like that, my little home business was born.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d still be here, years later, not just making grab handles but mastering the craft and growing a brand. What started as a creative outlet has turned into a passion, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the journey.

When I launched Krawlergrips on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, the support was incredible. Orders rolled in faster than I ever expected, and by September 2021,I had our own website up and running. That allowed me to expand my range and take things to the next level.

I started during lockdown honestly, just to keep busy when work slowed down—and the 4WD community welcomed me with open arms. You’ve kept me busy braiding grab handles for rigs, drawers, winches, and so much more. Every photo you send and every thank you message you write reminds me why I do this.

Starting a business during lockdowns wasn’t easy it was tough. But every challenge has been worth it. Seeing my work out there on your rigs, hearing how much you love it, and being a part of your adventures makes it all so rewarding.

At Krawlergrips, my goal has always been to create tough, high-quality grab handles and accessories that I’d proudly use in my own rig, camper, and projects. I’m always up for a chat about products—or even catching up on the tracks for a yarn about our shared love for 4WDing. Being part of this community is a privilege, and I’m so thankful to be here.

Catch you out on the tracks!
Anita & Shane.
