Aluminum Grab Handle
I made this for my better half.
She didn't like the placement of the velco-on RR grab handle on the roll bar so I threw this together to assist her with getting in and out.
It's aluminum conduit/pipe. I bent it with a conduit bender and welded a tab on it.
Shaped it to bolt on to an existing bolt at the top of the A pillar and to the roll bar.
I had to cut a hole in the plastic trim piece and drill a hole (1/4") through the roll bar, but it was pretty simple and it's very sturdy

There is more info in this thread.
WAYALIFE- Aluminum Grab Handle
There was some fitting and shaping involved.
I just started out holding a piece of bent conduit up to the space I wanted it to go and started. It turned out perfect on the first try.

Here's a little more info.
It is 1" rigid aluminum electrical conduit, OD = 1.315 Inches, Wall Thickness 0.126 Inch.
I bent it with a standard rigid conduit bender which has a centerline bend radius of 9-3/4 In.
I used a torch to heat the one end and hammered out the flat section at the front.
I also used a scrap of flat aluminum to make the tab. Heated it and formed it to the same radius as the roll bar.
A guy that works for me did the welding, and I had a shop near me do the powder coating (both free/favors)
There is a bolt that goes through the tab and roll bar just didn't get a picture of it installed.
