Grab Handles

Hey all, decided to switch things up again.

I was looking at 4 Wheel Parts in Raleigh and they had some for Wranglers for $30-$40. Found mine at Tractor Supply for $16 even for both.

I like those! I would have never thought about going to TSC for that. If i keep checkin out all the stuff you do to your FJ i am going to be in trouble! After we hung out with you guys and I saw your ride my to do list got longer! I just keep telling Justin a couple of things at a time so he won't think I need an intervention or anything!

I might get a pair. I'm not getting any taller.

Nice, I'm in as soon as I can get down to the local TSC! I love a cheap mod!

@Brian- yeah, the whole reason I got them was because I cant rest my elbow on the window ledge and grab the handle. It was aggravating me. lol

Im all about some cheap mods! Anyone who has money can go out and buy fancy things, but it takes more creativity to find a cheaper way out! And honestly, my favorite mods are the ones that cost me $20 or less.

Katy, dont do what I did.... PACE yourself!!! hahaha. It can become quite addicting. Ask Leigh if you dont believe me!

I have already decided to get a pair of these! I will be insisting TSC gives you a commission. My pregnant, and ever growing, wife is eventually going to struggle getting in and out of the FJ. And I could really use it when I go wheeling and take the steps off of my FJ.

We will be hitting the TSC in Salisbury this weekend or next.

Link for anyone else interested. Awesome find!

haha NICE!!! Your wife will definitely appreciate them!

I found them to be a little bigger in diameter than our handles are, but I fixed that with some cutting, pop rivets and I added some more velcro for a tighter fit. Looking back, it didnt really make that big of a difference. I think I was just bored and wanted to use my pop rivet gun. haha

Good call on posting the link.

Crap, now I have to buy a rivet gun? This mod is now doubling in cost!

JK, I am sure I can figure something out.

HAHAHA no, no, no. Its definitely NOT a necessity. It stays up there perfectly fine without messing with it.

...BUT if you decide to get a pop rivet gun, get one by Arrow from Lowes. Theyre pretty much the standard for those tools and theyve been around forever.

But again, not NEEDED for this cheap yet fun mod!!!!!!!! lol

Copied and made a little mod. Removed the velcro at the end of the straps then reattached it back about 1.5" so it would actually match the loop part. Then I really tucked the material up around the factory handle and sinched it down. Also put them on opposite sides so I wouls not see the Quadgear patch.

Thanks for the great idea...

Looks great Scott!!! I was thinking about attaching mine "backwards" but wasn't sure if everything would attach properly. Everything ok with flipping them around??

Nothing like watching the human mind in action!
