New Jeeps have side air bags on the roll bars.What's wrong with attaching it to the roll bar next to the seat? I have always used them on mine.
Our front Molle panel runs front to back over the front seats (rather than side to side) and mounts with four sheet metal screws. Although I installed 1/4-20 rivnuts instead, and thought about adding a center grab handle, because of the span and slight flex if you pull down on it, I decided against it.Never seen anything of the sort.
But you can install an overhead steel Molle panel and mount a grab handle to that.
See photo. All thru-bolted. Access holes drilled, two shown with black cover plugs in place.Do they make a grab handle that mounts (screws) to the removable front top?
