solid grab handles, really solid

i searched for a few days tryingto find some solid grab handles because i was not really a fan of the ones that velcro on or are buckled on since they really move alot when you are holding them, and they get sun damaged. i wanted something solid that i could hang onto if i really needed to. i finally found something.

these are synergy brand solid grab handles and i found them from poly performance. they have them for all hte different model wranglers and they are only 69 bucks. which is only about 10 or 20 bucks more then the other style grab handles, depending on where you purchase those other styles from. they also make a weld in type for a more permanent grab handle. i wanted a bolt in though.

anyways, on to the pics:


they come in a standard cardboard box and are only 3 pounds or so. ups said they were due tomorrow but they showed up a day early. inside the box they are wrapped in plastic wrap and packaged in peanuts with picture instructions.


here is a shot sans wrapping

they bolt in using this lower windshield bolt and the back end wraps over the header bar.


beware of stripping out those stupid torx bolts. that factory bolt is something like a t30 or t35 but since i rounded it off, i used a little larger one and a hammer to get that stupid thing out.


you install the grab handle finger tight and then tighten up slowly making sure the aluminum clamp stays solidly around the header bar. it uses an allen wrench that i failed to check what size it was.


when you get htem clamped and tightened down, you can rock the whole jeep with it, easily

here are shots from different angles for you guys viewing pleasure








i really like them. you can hang your hand on them while driving and when you are climbing in, they do not move or swing around. cristina said they are very nice too as she was the one complaining about not having something to grab while getting in the jeep.

My only concern would be them getting too hott to hold when it's been sitting out in the sun too long. I'm sure you could wrap some paracord around them to fix that problem though. Might have to pick me up a set.

my wife had the same thoughts and we will see as my jeep is out in hte parking lot here at work. i'll try them out when i get off work and see if they are unbearable or not.

ok, not hot at all when i left work thursday and the temp was reading 105 at 1500. they sit enough in the jeep that the soft top keeps them out of direct sunlight
