Don't all Wranglers come with grab handles?
Are you saying you don't appreciate the completely useless ones that come standard?
How are they useless? I use them every time I climb in. And get this: they don't drag across my head while doing their job.

Maybe the alternatives are intended for shorter people?

Perhaps, I'm 6'4" myself and have never hit my head on the handles I added.

Side note - i never use the stock ones to get in either.. Perhaps if I had a huge lift I wouldn't find them so useless!

saw this guy saying he installed the mopar ones on his 24, but for some reason his grab handles seem to drop down lower than the ones I had on my 21

I couldn't stand those things flapping around on the side of my head area or in my vision like in the video. I use the one on the pillar or steering wheel.

What i meant by origional post i owned a 2 dr 2023 sport s. With mopar grab handles liked them im 5.5.. but now i have 24 sport s 4 dr. put seat jackers in from ohio diesal.parts they give u a higher seating position better view.but i liked having overhead grab handles.. as well as ones that come stock. i ordered 2024 branded mopar handles but returned, mopar never checked them and im awsre those didnt fit with airbags so we need a new one with longer metsl attachment. NICE TO HAVE for shorter people

Exactly... I have to use both... due to my lift. But I also have a disability. So I also added rock sliders to step on. Different needs for different folks. I definitely think the stock and the mid-window Mopar handles are better than the L-shaped aluminum ones like this...

Mine dont flap around like his, they look installed wrong to me, mine ride a little higher... they sit behind you somewhat, just out of sight of your Peripheral vision... I've had no issues, use them everytime I enter, I like them.

His are installed wrong and/or different... I prefer my installation.

Yeah the older style were not that intrusive. Guess it is best he can do with side airbags.
