Front grab handle?
Anyone make a front grab handle that mounts to the bolt by the visor then back to the roll bar. I feel like it would be a better position there for "oh poop" moments and pulling up into the jeep.

Those are nice looking and that is the area i'm talking about but i'm looking for something a little softer. I know me or my wife would knock their noggin hopping in. I might have to make some with an eye hole on the front and a wrap-around strap for the roll bar.

I have the mastercraft grab handles (soft) which are on the roll bar. Personally I don't like the placement of them for getting in and out of the Jeep. Something on the A pillar would be better. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on item in the link I posted.
The other option is the sport cages that multiple vendors make. I've seen plenty of them installed and reviewed on this forum. My personal favorite to date is the or-fab unit.

I was concerned about location of the hard handles as well but there are plenty of reviews that say this is not an issue.

I always stayed out of these threads but I guess I should post this more
I hated the grab handles from day one where they sit , so I moved over the handle part and attach it to the front visor with a large washer to hold it been that way since 2009
