Review on πŸ— Enhance Safety with this Red Wild Boar Car Front Grab Handles for Jeep Wrangler by Jeremy Stephens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, installation complicated by Jeep, not product

I installed Wild Boar grab bars on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S. Functionally they work as expected and I'm not worried about them breaking. They are a solid product and will stay in place when properly aligned. I would buy this product again. I encountered a few issues along the way, but these were related to my jeep, not the product. Below are things to consider and a list of what you will need. Tools: First of all, DO NOT SHOW YOUR WINDSHIELD. Think before you start spinning! A few times my hand slipped and shattered the windshield - A 1/2 inch or 13mm socket for loosening two factory bolts on your Jeep. I used a deep head but an extension will do. Some people say 13mm, but I've had a looser fit at 13mm than at 1/2". These bolts are tapered, and the bolts that come with the handrails are NOT tapered. I've noticed in my jeep, that I removed the holes the factory bolts from had an overlapping piece of steel that partially covered the bolt hole by less than a millimeter.On the passenger side I had to use a dremel to cut that back off or the vertical handrail mounting bolt wouldn't seat screw it in. It took a while to get it right without damaging the threads just behind it, your jeep may not have this problem, you may need to remove the driver side pillar UPPER molding and then reinstall the wire connector, not the molding, to remove the molding YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE PILLAR PROFILE the screws holding the sun visor ten visor attached.- 6mm hex bit/wrench/screwdriver for installing front rail mounting screws.- 5mm hex bit/wrench/screwdriver for installing rear rail mounting screws. Handrail attachment screws. An impact wrench would work better. I found I had to screw the top mounting screws in and out to get them screwed all the way in. You will get stuck, and for that you need strength. The rear handrails are very easy and hassle-free to assemble.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Fits
