Anyone else feel this way? Grab handle woes

[widnere12]

You know what else is missing, any place for a clothes hangar. I was looking in my Bronco yesterday and there was nothing. When I had a Wrangler I rigged something up in the far back behind the rear seat.

You're 100% right, but there are lots of hooks being sold now for aftermarket use.

This will depend on your height and if you have the factory rock rails....but I found that if you add these steps from IAG to your rock rails then the built in handles on the sides of the dash is actually in a good spot for me to get leverage to step up onto these steps. I still have paracords for good measure. I like to rest my left hand on it with the top/windows down.

I can't believe that people are paying money for the para cord ones. Didn't your Mum teach you how to do macrame?

The lack of the over the head grab handle seems odd to me, whatever. However- all you can get a these awful paracord ones?!

Someone can really cash in on make some hard plastic OEM clean looking ones imo.

my girlfriend was immediately asking for overhead - got some aluminum ones from Amazon.

Here are the metal Grab Handles I purchased for my Badlands. My wife and I like them.

I have paracord handles in my 4 door, and love them. It makes me happy every time I see my wife get in the passenger side, she steps up on my GoRhino Dominator D6 side step, grabs the paracord handle, and gets in - the one on my side has NEVER been an issue for me.

Just ordered these as I liked the material, looks and they had them for all 4 doors... They didn't have reviews but the company had many other offroad products.

I just received these ones tonight.

They're one of the few metal handles sets for front and rear seats. They come with pads as well.
Still waiting for my Bronco, which just arrived at the dealer. One more day!

I saw those as well. Can you post pictures when you get them installed?

I have two different versions sitting in my garage waiting for the unicorn to arrive. (I fly on Friday to go get it!). Both are mentioned within this thread.

originally I ordered these…

but then I found these. My guess is that this option will be better. Time will tell if either prove their merit.

I'm in the Paracord camp. The ones I have are black with an accent that matches the accent colors in the grab handles and stitching so they look OEM. They're also rigid enough to move above the windows if you don't want them to sag. Plus the family seems to get use out of them climbing in and out of the bronco.

I solved this by raising the center back seat headrest one click and hooking the clothes hanger around the bar. My garment bag doesn’t necessarily hang freely, but kinda follows the seat down with a little bend at the bottom. Not for a closet full of clothes or a road trip, but works just fine to get my clothes to the gym so I can leave and go straight to work.

Not my mom, but I’m definitely gonna braid my own once I buy some strap material and a grommet kit that’s the right size.

I worry about these metal handles that project horizontally. That is a lot of potential moment force on the bolts to the airbag covers. These will definitely loosen/wiggle and potentially damage the plastic covers.

I have the paracords, my kids love use the heck out of them. I wouldn't want a solid 'oem' hendle in the place of the paracords, mainly because paracords are softer than plastic.....
