Mopar Grab Handles - do you like them?

[longfiredragon]

Hello all

I did a search on here and a little research but still unsure which grab handles I want. (There is so many) I just need the 2 for the front and am leaning toward the Mopar ones. Them seem well built, have the little jeep emblem on them and are only $40.

The thing is there is not that many reviews on the Mopar handles. So if anyone on here has them could you tell me how you like them?

Thanks

I’ve had them on both my JLs. Easy install, like that they’re bolted in, and located at a natural place to grab.

Was a little surprised the tabs that screw in are plastic instead of metal, but I went with them since they actually fasten to the jeep. Didn't want to have a velcro/paracord one give way while in use.

Seem to be fine strength wise, handle fits well in your hand and keeps it shape.

They fit very well. Feels well built. Id buy them again. And i like how they block the sun from my eyes at times too.

I was going to grab some but honestly so far I've never needed a grab handle there, the handles on the a pillar have been fine so far.

I like them. They are better than the JK ones I had on my TJ that rotated around the roll bar depending on the angle you grabbed them from.

i use Mopar parts whenever i can and i have no issues with the OEM grab handles. As others have pointed out, they are easily installed right into the frame using the existing panel hole.

They tend to bang into the windows alot when on bumpy roads.

I'm sure they are well made but I am happy with the Alien handles I have. It was a real benefit to be able to adjust their location in order to accommodate the JTops sunshade straps. Super sturdy with 3 heavy duty velcro straps.

I have them and like them a lot. They bolt into the roll bar and to me, it looks like it's a piece of metal wrapped in rubber. They hold my weight when I hang off them to wash the roof.

I have the cheap velcro ones for my YJ and I wouldn't trust my weight on those.

Thanks again for all the inputs, much appreciated. A little clarification. As the driver you probably don't need grab handles that often cause you have the steering wheel. The passenger, the wife, LOL wants them. She loves the Jeep and will go off roading with me and is looking forward to going more, but one request she had is the grab handles.

Honestly, I for sure can't blame her. The handle on the A pillar is fine for getting in and out, but if you are vertically challenged like a lot of our women are it is not so great to have to lean up and hold on to on trails. I like to have one there myself when riding shotgun, sometimes I just like holding onto it and letting my arm hang.

I do also think the drivers side one could come in handy if you want to pull yourself up and out the window to look at the trail or where your front wheel/end is.

I did like the alien's as well. Great feedback all, thanks!

I got some off brand ones from amazon I think . They have metal tabs instead of plastic with foam that goes between the tab and the roll bar so they don't scratch it up. They were quite a bit cheaper too.

Definitely the best of them (I've tried a few!)
No banging on windows, in fact I can't see how they can if installed correctly.
They feel really good in the hand when you hold onto them. Many of the others are slimmer and don't feel as chunky.

Sadly I had to remove them as they're not compatible with the Bestop Sunrider.
