2024 Wrangler with "Willys" package....I contacted Mopar parts through this forum and asked if they had an ETA for the factory Grab handles, but they have not received any date from their supplier.
Most of the "ebay" style grab handles ( paracord warp around style) cover up the air bag built into the roll bar on the '24 Wrangler.
I found an Ebay supplier (ritrongroup123) that supplied dimensions in one of his pictures...his Grab Handles for a 2012/2022 FORD Bronco ( yes , I know - a sacrilege!) looked like they would fit between the holes in the roll bar without wrapping it around the bar....so I purchased a set in "Camo color" for $14.00.
I had to install Rivnuts ( 8mm) into the roll bar holes ( Amazon has a neat kit with rivnuts and install tool for $50 ( supplier's name is Wetols) - there are just holes in the roll bar from the factory.
I used a Stainless steel button head cap screw, lock washer and a 1" OD fender washer for a 5/16" bolt and some blue loctite to complete the assembly.
It hangs down a little too far most folks, but I'm short and the '24 Willy's is on the tall side for me so the length works well.
I have contacted the Ebay supplier and told him to make the handle about 2" shorter and use a Tan/Black Camo color to compliment the Jeeps interior...we'll see if he contacts me with a "free" sample!
Hope this helps.

There is a member on the JT forum that makes/sales some beautifully done grab handles.
Maybe check him out.

Those are very hard to install if you have a SOT. Almost impossible. I managed to install one on the passenger's side, but I wouldn't recommend.
I agree that it’s not easy, but doable, yes, if you remove the two front bolts and the ten (?) side bolts holding the SOT down. Then you can lift each side a bit as you install the handles.

I just had to reinstall them last week because I hadn’t torqued enough the SOT bolts after putting the grab handles on and there was a water leak when raining.

At least I think that’s what happened, because I loosened all the bolts, repositioned the handles and retorqued all bolts and voila, no more water intrusion!

I didn't even think to touch the SOT to install the brackets.

Even if I would've, I wouldn't do it. SOT > brackets :)

I bought the front and rear set and was disappointed that the rear set was not even made for the 2024: the metal hook loops where way, way to large to fit.

For those with freedom panels the GPCA grips are an easy install in the front. Just pop the freedom panels off and use the provided screws. The grips are very sturdy as they attach at both the bottom and top of the frame.
The side where the airbag comes out is unobstructed.
The handles do not touch the metal frame because the straps prevent metal on metal contact.
The handles do not bump into the window or make any noise either.

PS
I have a 2-door, so I can't comment on the rear door install.

I just heard mid-June from all Mopar Parts and my order has been in since February.
They keep telling me soon but not yet.
I just cancelled my mopar order and ordered the GPCA version (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CTKXLWJX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1).
All good reviews (except SOT installs, not me).
I'll let you know....

Received the GPCA grab handles last week and installed a few days ago.
Initial reaction is good quality. Install (2 door Rubi) was pretty easy. NOTE: T30 bit needed for top screws, T25 for under sides.
Flip up function not working. May need to adjust velcro and sit height.
Not happy with grab handle comfort. There's very little padding.
When pulling on them to get in, the thin metal is uncomfortable even through the handle wrap.
I tried adding some packing foam inside the wrap and it helps but it's still not "comfortable".
My old TJ had thick foam pads that were super nice. I may return them and wait for the Mopar's?!?!?
