I am not sure about these handles for the Bronco, need to go to the website and see what specific vehicle they make them for.

As for metal handles, I have the Spartan Handles in my Bronco. I replaced the paracord I had because I did not want the droop. These handles are up above the airbag, and in truth, they are for your passengers to grab hold. For getting in they work fine. Just a reverse grip is all that is needed. I am 6-41/2 and I have never come close to hitting my head on these. The only way I could see myself hitting these would be in a rollover, and with my soft top, I would have bigger problems to deal with!

Oh wow, those are nice. I may give them a try. Where did you order them from?

The rock rails, they won't act like a step unless you got some that have steps built in. I've got the Trail Armor Rock Rails and they're too close to the body to use as a step.

I know I saw somebody that had a rope pull handle that hung down; it was in a Jeep. Something that might work. Also saw this, but it might be too far away:

The grip on the dash by the AC might work for her to steady herself, but maybe not to swing around into the seat. It is right there.
Yeah, I bought a pair of rock sliders that have a flat step. These was no way my grandma could get in without having the stool and the step.

I’ll look into that rope pull handle and see what I can find. Thanks!

Yeap those. They have a front and rear. I have both sets in my rig. What is interesting is that the back set does have a different angle on them. They are up and not in the way, but sitting in back, I could grab the handles without stretching up as much(?) is the best way to put it.

Now I wish I could find some Badland orange trim to go around the outside of those or on the rubber part to match it all up. heh but as I said, I do like these better than I did the paracord.

I'm 6'3" and have the same issue with the paracord, it hits me in the forehead getting in/out (plus line of site). I guess I'm long torso'd because the seat's about halfway up.

FYI: The handles you see on the passenger side are useless for getting in/out; they're for gripping when you're angled backwards. Even as tall as I am, I can't use them. I get why there's no A pillar grip (air bag), but I miss that from my truck.

One difference with the Jeep is the sill isn't tall. The Jeep sill is pretty tall and I used to trip on it getting in/out all the time. I've never tripped getting out of my Bronco, or hit it with my foot getting in.

I have an older friend of mine with a bum ankle whose maybe 5'. What we did is get one of those folding step stools that has the handle in the middle? When she needed to get in, I'd put that down. Then you can fold it and put in the back and have it where you go with her, as well. I took long trips with my friend and she was always able to get in. (She just hopped out.) We even joked about tying a little rope to it so she could pull it in (I just wrangled it for her).

This is it:

You can fold the Paracord handles on themselves to keep them out of the way. I had the same issue and got plenty of suggestions after posting a question here. Several metal handles available for the Bronco, some listed in the thread below

It’s my understanding that those screws are designed to break away when the airbags deploy. Meaning anything attached to those screws would have uncontrolled fall away when the screws break away. I personally wouldn’t want the potential of metal objects flying around the cabin in an event that would cause the airbags to deploy.

after pulling those bolts for a para-cord installation, those don't seem to be frangible bolts.

Do you expect these would work with any of the mesh tops? I bought a pair of metal handles off Amazon (different brand and style) and will be installing JTops this weekend, so I guess I’ll find out soon…

I would think so. I know the mesh tops do not sit as high as the soft top, but when you grab the handle, even getting in, you are grabbing it from the bottom. So if the bimini top is over that, I do not see why it would not work.

I plan on getting a Jtop as well, let us know how it went.
