Grab Handles for 2024??

[Drewbacca]

One option I’ve found is a small seller on Facebook that the JEEP 4XE Fans group frequently share is Tieri Paracord Innovations. You join the group then PM the owners, telling them what you need and what color. They’re very responsive and help guide you to pick out exactly what’s needed. I haven’t bought mine yet, but I’m thinking of doing it as soon as I figure out which screws/bolts I want to mount it to in order to choose the right length.

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).

If its true that they have to be installed by a tech, that’s the dumbest design ever

Seriously! What tech outside maybe the factory is going to know how to install these brand new handles on a 24 with sky one touch. Thats my situation if and when I get them (pre-ordered from allmopar). I don't want to break the "seal" or damage by SOT but I need grabs!!

Have you ordered yours yet? I did and love them, but the vehicle I bought them for was a '24 Willys XR that was on order. I ended up with a '24 Rubicon X with the curtain airbags and now not sure if I will even be able to use them. I did message the owner of the shop and she said I would be able to use them but I'm not 100% sure.

Mine come today, but they definitely are useable. I never found any solution to bolt into the empty holes that the soft top uses, so I got shorter ones that fit into the two screws. That shouldn’t cause any issue, and they’d just get pushed outward to the window if the airbags deployed. The problem is with the old ones that wrap around the bar. The Mopar ones actually wrap around only the outside and over the top, fitting into a couple screws but they have to be placed under the plastic, which means the airbag cover needs to be removed making it a professional install. I’d think they’d be much more of a barrier for the airbags than these are, so I believe them when they say they’re fine.

Good to know! Thank you!!

They fit fine with the 2024 with airbags. I used the screws instead of the bolts because of the lack of hardware. Here’s what they looked like once installed:

This to me has obviously seemed like the no Brainer with the 24, use those two bolts on the airbag assembly. If it is the easy though (as in by using only those two bolts the airbags remain fully functional) then why haven't all the grab handle makers made them like that? They look great btw

Looking at how the Mopar ones are installed, they’re likely a lot more secure and can hold more weight. That said, these ones are pretty firm and serve their purpose if installed correctly so that the loops are completely under the washer of the screw. If you have to one touch or the soft top, use one or both of the bolt spots, and I’d imagine it’s a little stronger. I also found this solution:
This guy has a similar product he made and has suggestions on the mounting listed in his comments. I’d probably use black hardware though.

I guess my point is will these interfere with airbag operation, which to be honest on not sure anyone knows how they deploy.

I ordered these today and use a much better secure point

They don’t. They’re not in the way any more than the cover to the airbag. The Mopar ones are safe, and these are less obstructive.

Cool, that sounds great, but I have a question. I saw in a post that others mentioned needing a professional to install Mopar grab handles. My concern is, does unscrewing the screws affect the airbag?
