Review on πŸš™ Steel Front Grab Handles for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK JKU Sports Sahara Freedom Rubicon X & Unlimited - 7/8" Steel Rubber Grips (Black) by Timothy Richmond

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A great addition to an elevated Wrangler or when you have a vertical challenge.

I don't usually write reviews unless they impress me or make my lifestyle easier. They made both for only $20. My handrails (for the 18" JK 2 door) were packaged well and no instructions were required. Pretty easy to install. Pay particular attention to the end of the ratchet or the drop of one of the included spacers onto the dash. When you install them, you are very close to the windshield. I would suggest replacing the hardware and/or adding some Loctite to the screws. The included bolts are soft and one of the socket head actuators broke off when tightened to the factory setting of 17 ft-lbs. I'm 6'0" tall and before I lifted my jeep I had no trouble getting in and out. With the 2.5" height and 35, I was constantly parking my butt in the seat and shifting my weight, to sit down. Same situation when exiting. This repetitive process will eventually ruin the seat cushion. Now I take this handle, stand on the footboard and get in/out of the car properly.

Pros
  • Annual trial period
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
