Default Welcome Distributing Grab handles

Anyone have experience with these? I like my parachords for the rear but I was thinking about getting the fronts for my 4dr and then making a matching parachord grip. The 90 bucks for the pair is very steep but they are cool and sturdy looking. Thoughts anyone?

I bought the front and rear set (old design) for my 4 door and I couldn't be happier with them. They are solid steel, really sturdy. I wrapped mine with bicycle handle bar tape - they get hot in the summer and cold in the winter..

Thats good. Your lucky, I really like that old design better than the new one with the open handle. But I think I will order it anyways. Thanks! I tried to make it myself last week but couldn't get the pipe to bend at those close angles with the tools I had. It could have been a 5 buck project mod.

Installed these in a buddy's JK in the front. They were tough to get all lined up, but solid as a rock once we got them in. You can shake the whole Jeep with them.

Out of curiosity, what does a set of those weigh?

These are awesome. Solid mounting makes a big difference entering/exiting the Jeep. There is something to grabbing a handle with zero movement - Think rope ladder v. wood ladder.

Also - I don't have the grips, but haven't noticed them getting too hot to touch in the TX summer. Could be my ceramic tint, but very pleased.

Trying to make sure you don't add any time in the 1/4 mile?


I'd guess they were prob about 15lbs or so?
