Welcome Distributing Grab handles
#12
EsByrd so you think that your handles are positioned better for a shorter person (like my wife) to access the vehicle than the other brand? I'm torn between the two.

A few weeks ago we welcomed a new sponsor to our site, Welcome Distributing. One of there parts that they offer is a set of grab handles that bolt to the "A" pillar. Since this was something that I was looking for I ordered a set. I forget the price, but it was reasonable. They arrived the other day and just had a chance to install them today. Now I'm not going to give a step by step install because they are so easy to install that I think my wife could install them. Let me say that the product is over engineered, which is a good thing. They could of used a much cheaper piece of metal for this product. The grab handles are made of 3/4 inch solid steel pipe and is painted black and comes with quality mounting hardware. Installation took less than 15 minutes with hand tools. Here are a few pics.
I also like the fact that we don't require drilling, or cutting away the plastic post cover. With our front Grab Handles you can even mount a GoPro camera, which a lot of customers are saying it works out perfect! Here are a couple new photos that a customer sent in yesterday, they really turned out great, and we are now using them on our website and can't thank the customer enough for allowing us permission to use them as we like....
Attached are the Front & Back Grab Handles images,
Any questions please don't hesitate to call our office at 425-316-8830 or shoot me an email at Ken@WelcomeDistributing.com
Thanks again Rich, great job buddy as your install looks great!

With the two mounting bolts positioned fairly close to each other like that on the front handles, does it feel solid when putting most of your weight on it? Any flexing? I'm not a small guy and I'd hate to be relying on these to pull myself in and have it snap off. I'd really like a set of these if they're good and solid. I know 3/4" pipe would be plenty strong, I'm just concerned with the mount. With those spacers bringing it out from the a pillar a bit, it puts more force on the mounts due to extra leverage.

Hope this answers your question, you can be assured we back-up what we say, and we say our handles are ROCK SOLID!
Happy Holidays to you and your family Sir!

Thanks for the quick reply Ken. And on closer inspection, I see one mounting bolt is horizontal and one is vertical. I thought they were both horizontal at first glance. I've been wanting a better grab handle since my wife has trouble with the normal ones that strap to the roll bar in the center of the entryway. Definitely considering getting a set from you guys. :-)

Ken sent me a pair of these for a Charity Event we are doing here local in AZ in December. I'm here to tell you these things are solid, well thought out, and a great product to add to any Jeep. You guys won't be disappointed with these!

These look "handy"
i just ordered a set for my MW3. The grab handles that come with the COD package suck for ingress egress, but useful to hang onto while cruising.
