Just got my handles from CLC and finished the install! It's great! My kids can get in and out much better - and like everyone has said, they look like they belong there. Thanks for the mod and the link to CLC.

Default Worked Great! Thanks!

I ordered two handles from Chesapeake Light Craft. Total was $17.05 with S/H. Very easy to install in the rear of the Jeep. Thanks for a great, cost effective grab handle solution.

i did my grab handles in the rear today from chesapeake, wow they look awsome! Im gona have to get some gromets in the holes though for strength.

I also ordered the mopar grab handles today, but i purchased the 2 inch ones. How tight are they? In the pictures the 3 inch ones look perfect and match the droop of the chesapeake ones. Anyone have pictures? :sad:

I have the 3", I could take some pictures of. I have heard others using the 2" and the velcro just makes it. That might not be enough grip if you really need to tug on them. As far as the droop, the 2" will be the same, just less velcro wrapping the bar.

This is great and solves a problem I has this week when my parents visited. My mother had a hard time getting in so I shifted the velcro ones to the back but due to the way the door frame fits on I couldn't get it to fit. Great idea and I will follow suit very soon.

Put mine in the other day and now the people in the back have something to hold on to. Thanks for the suggestion.

Great idea. I think I will look locally for the handles as we have a lot of places with boating and kayak stuff here. If I can't find it by the weekend I am ordering it. Funny thing is I only need the back for my girls. Anyone getting up front can use the dash handle untill I figure out how to do that one cheap. I was going to make something but I could not figure out what to put on the webbing as a handle or where to put it.
