Has anyone got the Bartac paracord grab handles?

[Ksjrb03]

Anyone with a First Edition get the Bartact paracord grab handles? If so, what color did you go with? Seems like black/black is the easy way out but curious if anyone with a FE came up with a color combo that works.

I got the black/graphite and I would say they are a great match. I took them off though, found them useless and didn’t like the way they hang by my head.

They look good. I went with all black and installed them this morning. Very nice quality. After installing, I have the same concerns that led you to remove them. I'm going to give them some time to see if they end up being useful or just visual clutter.

any thoughts about how that impacts the curtain airbag deployments?

This is what I’ve been looking for. I probably wouldn’t put one in the drivers door as I have the wheel to hold onto but the other three doors will be good.

I have the solid rubber handle ones with webbing connections. They are nice. I was worried too about the airbag, but I think they will deploy just fine after closer examination. I've had mine on a few weeks now. I also got a center console cover.

Yeah. I hit my head on the drivers one, especially getting in and out of my truck, so I took that one off. But I'll prob put it back on for trail use. Off for highway. They go on and off in two minutes.

I often think about that when you change lift, and tires and a myriad of other things too

There was a gentleman that posted pictures of his Bronco on here the other day that had just been in a gnarly accident and all of the air bags were deployed. There was a clear picture of the passenger side bag from inside the cabin deployed and it deploys straight down from the pillar and the screws above where the grommets for the handles attach were not affected at all. It appeared anyway that it would have no bearing on the bag deploying fully functionally, but that is just my opinion obviously.

I based my decision on that exact same thread, sad but great photos.

Similarly, I just went this route for the backseat so the five year old can lift himself into the truck:

how thick is that paracord?

Do you happen to have a link to that thread handy? Striking out with the search function for some reason.

Was it removed? It was a while ago. Was that the post where the driver turned into them and passed away? It was not a great wreck no matter the case. I believe the Bronco drivers were ok.

EDIT: I was mistaken. Its this one:
