Reviews for Rugged Ridge Sport Bar Grab Handles for 55-23 Jeep Wrangler JL, JK, TJ, YJ, CJ & Gladiator JT
I have purchased two sets of these for my JK and they are very handy. BUT, don't fool yourself they will rip off over time. They maybe lasted me a year or so before the nylon strapping failed and it ripped off. This is just a word of caution to keep a close eye on their condition.
Functionally, these are fantastic. The only reason I knocked them a couple stars is because the red faded very quickly, in under one summer of running topless. They look hot pink now.
Needs more support in the backing seems to pull ends together the more handles are used.
Not as strong as I would like. I will probably never use them as they feel like they will break if I put my weight on it.
They're nice but I wanted them to match the first set tou sent me that says Quadratic on them.
not good . just didnt hold up over 2 years
will not fit jlu with power top
i am returning
Didn't even last a year. The drive side:The plastic inside the fabric holding the handle in place had sharp edges and torn the handle. The Passenger side: Completely ripped off while my passenger was holding on trying to jump in. This with my rag top on for most of their use.
Seems fine for a while.. however after about 2 years the webbing had aged (from sunlight I suppose) and when I used it to get in it completely gave way.
I'm under 170 pounds and admittedly, I have my top off most of the year, I would still expect them to use a material that wouldn't degrade to the degree of failure in that amount of time.
I'm looking for a replacement at this point, I doubt I'd try rugged ridge again for these... I'm just glad it was me that it failed on and not my daughter or wife that actually need something to grab to get in and out because of their height. I'd be pissed if something I bought, essentially for their safety, failed and it led to an injury to one of them.
