It happened the same to me. My mom had a difficult entry to my JK. I will also follow suit.

Thanks.

This is great. I'll be ordering mine soon. My son was asking me last night about grab handles. Easy, cheap and functional mod.

You need to get the ones with the straps that go around the bars/pads and secure with buckles/velcro. These ones wont work for the front.

the Mastercraft or other nearly identical ones (for 3" seems to be best) are available at most offroad places.

Like the ones in the front in this post: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...4&postcount=58

I just ordered the Rugged Ridge Ultimate Grab Handles for the front from this store: jeepsandstuff.com/13505-04.html. Best price I could find.

Thumbs up excellent mod!

I got these from CLC as well and they are perfect. I got the free shipping because I pass by them every time I go to boat. Awesome find!

oh, and I didn’t use a grommet or anything, I just took a soldering iron and poked a hole in each end where it needed to be and widen the hole as needed till the screw fit snuggly in the hole. They are strong enough to hang on, and they'll never fray.
