Bronco Badlands grab handle

[broncorik]

Hey folks...I wanted some grab handles, so I initially went with this:

Gbmall Bronco Grab Handles, 2 x Roll Bar Grab Handles Grip Handle for 2021 2022 Ford Bronco Accessories Car Roof Handle Rope Interior Accessories (Orange) https://a.co/d/g9Os9sN

Only to find out it is nothing like Cyber Orange. I then found this:

Sukemichi Roll Bar Paracord Grab Handles Grip Handles for Ford Bronco Accessories 2020 2021 2022(2 Pack Cyber Orange) https://a.co/d/28RSAfJ

Which is a match...check the pic (the correct one on the right):

The ones in the left are softer/slightly longer grip area/probably better constructed, but it didn't matter to me because the color was too distracting.

This is Bartac dozer/nacho. It is pretty close to cyber orange.

Bartract makes great stuff (I have their console cover and love it) but I didn't want to pay nearly $40 for the handles and then shipping and then wait two or three weeks. The Amazon ones were $16 and I got them the next day and the color is a match.

I have the Bartact ones (Dozer). I can confirm that they are VERY close to the Active Orange interior accents on the Badlands.

How do these work with the side airbags? Isn't there stuff you're not supposed to cover up along that bar, for the same reason you're not supposed to be bejeweling your steering wheel?

They attach with two existing bolts on each side above the airbags. So if the airbags do deploy they'll just push the grab handles upward. We shouldn't be using the type that Jeeps use that have velcro straps that wrap around the bar because then that would restrict the airbags from deploying.

I guess we can as long as we are ok with whatever we use to bejewel it leaving that particular imprint on our cheeks or foreheads when the bag goes boom

Oh, that makes more sense now. I didn't click the amazon link in the first post but saw the other handle that Garemlin posted and thought it was the same. Now that I look at it that obviously wasn't a Bronco interior either lol

Yeah that was my former Gladiator.

I like the idea of those handles but those screws that hold it in are really small in diameter and the roll bar itself is pretty thin with few threads. With the leverage that far out with the spacers I wouldn't be surprised if somebody using the handles easily bends the screws Additionally, they're kind of an awkward location...the natural motion is to grab the grab handle as you're entering the vehicle but in that location you have to reach up inside. With the handles that hang down below the added bonus is if you're holding on to one most people's elbows will be able to reach the window opening to use as a rest.
