[behjjeh]

since new 2024 wranglers comes with curtain side airbags where we put the grab handles.. how and where can we put grab handles now?
looks like branco has two bolts for grab handles..

Good point. I hope that the aftermarket makes it clear that the wrap around grab handles only work with '23 and older Jeeps. I'd hate to read that a side curtain airbag (SCAB) failed to deploy or injured an occupant due to improperly placed grab handles... The Ford option looks logical...

Think the bolt-on Mopar grab handles still might work without interfering with the new airbags. Kinda similar to the Bronco design posted above, except they hang on the outside of the door frame.

AllMoparParts shows them as compatible with MY24 (didn't check the 4-door variant)..

EDIT/WARNING: AllMoparParts has recently changed their listing for this part, removing the MY24 Wrangler JL from the vehicle fitment section and adding the disclaimer "Not applicable to 2024+ Wrangler"

That's strange. It absolutely didn't have that note when I posted that a few months ago and instead showed "2024 Jeep Wrangler JL" under the vehicle fitment section.

I'm guessing @AllMoparParts.com assumed it would fit and later found out it didn't. I'm still not sure how a grab handle hanging from the outside of the sportbar would cause any issues with the '24 or it's new side-curtain airbags, but maybe Benny knows.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know. I'll edit my post with a warning about the change ?

Hi Guys,
We came across a problem with the new side curtain airbags, We are not sure if mopar will be releasing a version to accommodate these but we will surely keep our eyes peeled.

In doing my own observations in my other cars, the grab handles are INBOARD of the side curtain airbags (SCAB). The curtains blow downwards from a seam on the OUTBOARD side of the leading edge of the car's interior roof. Since the sport bar (most people erroneously call it a roll bar when in fact it's not and Jeep purposely does not call it one since it hasn't been tested or claimed to provide roll over protection) houses the SCAB and igniter and has a limited area from which to deploy, an outbaord mounted grab handle would not work. If the SCAB shot downward and broke through the sport bar trim, a grab handle that wrapped around would not work. If I had to hazard a guess, whatever Mopar comes up with, it would be mounted inboard on the sport bar and not outboard.

Just my 0.02¢.

I ordered the Mopar version early on. When I received them they did not fit. The curve on the bracket is too narrow for the 2024. They did take them back and updated the website to indicate the 23 version does not fit the 24s. Now I keep checking hoping to see that they've reconfigured them for the 24s. I was very pleased with the quality of the 23 version that I got and would happily take a similar same version for the 24

Any idea anyone when mopar will come out with new grab handle version? I loved them in my 23 2 dr.now have 4 dr sport s and i also returned ones that said compatible with 2024's...metal hook design needs to be changed...bartact is option but not a fan of those

Hey Benny, I just came across a photo and part listing for the Mopar grab handles shown installed on a '24 Wrangler in the newest Mopar accessory brochure. Do you happen to know if these are the same part numbers as before, or perhaps a newer revision?

Seems insane that they'd show a '24 equipped with these if they're not actually compatible for whatever reason. Pretty sure the photo isn't a 20th Anniversary Edition Rubicon from '23. Thanks!

And while I've got your ear for a second, have you seen or heard anything about the new Mopar/JPP "modified rock rail" that was shown on some of the concept Wranglers this year and last? It's supposed to be a standard Rubicon rail with an extended step bar welded on..

Great find on the handles, I can confirm they are for 2024+ Applications. They are not available yet but we will add to our site to pre-order.

The JPP catalog has not been updated since the 2022 version and I do not see anything like these on the accessory or OE side. There is an extended rail available you can see on page 14 of that Doc

Using the bolts on the outboard underside appear to be out of the way of the airbag compartment. These are handmade. Also those mopar ones look like they go between the door and rollbar, also away from the airbag compartment.

Best news I've heard all day. My wife has been busting my balls she doesn't have grab handles on my 24'. Pre-ordered.

 

[lights]

Oh thank god. This is amazing news. Just pre ordered as well. This has been driving my wife insane.

One thing I’ve heard about the Mopar grab handles for 2024s is that they have to be installed by a professional, since the airbag has to be removed or taken apart a little bit. I finally found a video review of them. He also mentions them banging against the window constantly (queue the hordes of people asking why the doors are on in the first place).
