Yes, it is very solid.
Wow just checked the price, $335 for just one, let alone 3. Not really an alternative at that price, 1000 bucks in grab handles is excessive.

I didn't see an option for the gelded D handles.

But for that price I understand why the velvet sack for your balls.

I really donā€™t think they were designed to be in any other location than where mine is Now. The intention of this handle is to give you options that the OEM canā€˜t. Donā€™t even try to compare the quality of this handle to the OEM one. It would be like comparing a Bentley to a Chevy Sonic, yes thereā€™s that much of a difference . Its at least 95% stronger than the OEM mounted in my opinion.

Are saying these handles don't move when you wiggle them like the oems?

I wouldn't want the balls on them, but if they are sturdier and rock solid, that would be a huge plus, along with getting the color inserts you really want.
Well itā€™s at lest 95% sturdier. The balls were my choice. You can option it out however you want. This is the way I wanted it. Has for sturdy. If you grab the fender of the truck you can feel it move so tech the only way you can get it rock solid is to pour cement around it. šŸ˜‰

Yea I get that it was designed to be there, with a phone mount.

But let's say someone wanted to match up all of their handles and they just wanted sturdy grab handles all around and not in the color they got stuck with....

Just as an fyi, the price is $268 after the discount. Still spendy, but Curtis's stuff is truly a work of art as @Wildfire1 suggests.

I pre-ordered an item from Archetype back in April that was supposed to ship out in July. I still have yet to receive it and getting no response from them after 2 emails to customer service. Given the price of their products and the lack of response, I won't order from them again.

Oh I understand but what neither of us understand is the amount of orders and work theyā€™re trying to do. Yes the wait is real but Iā€™m guessing you had to wait for the Bronco and now that you have it the wait was worth it. Exact same thing here with their products. I waited and it didnā€™t kill me. Iā€™m ok and Iā€™ll order from them again because their the best in the business bar none.

looks nice.
I just dont like the grab handle there. Useless imho. But you seem to use it for your phone. So maybe it should be called a phone mount. They say its about the side curtain airbags etc. Whatever. Bad design. The grab handle on drivers side is just as rediculous
