I just installed my Welcome Distributing Grab Bars. These things are solid metal and heavy. Was a bit of a fight getting them in as I was putting them on in the dark. The rears go in much easier than the fronts.
Once installed, they are extremely sturdy and take a lot of weight. Love them. They are so much better than the generic web ones with the rubber bit in the middle. Though I did leave them installed for the rear.
Didn't get the rubber grip covers to insulate from heat and cold but was planning to do a paracord wrap on them. BTW, they do get hot. Got up to about 95 (what the dash said) this weekend and after it sat in the sun, they were a bit toasty. Could still hold them but any hotter, they'd be scorching. And since they are solid metal, they stay hot for a long time lol.
Will get pics up soon.
Ken at WD is also very good and quick on emails. I ordered the 2 door 4 bar set by mistake and he rectified it and got me the right set.
To anyone who has installed them, are the front side mounting studs supposed to be on a slight angle down?
