Jeep Wrangler JL & JLU Bolt-On Grab Handles: The Only Safe Option for 2024+

Published July 20, 2026 · Bartact Team · Temecula, CA

If you own a 2024+ Jeep Wrangler JL or JLU, you have a problem that most grab handle manufacturers haven't figured out: your roll bar now has airbags in it.

That changes everything. The old clip-on or strap-style grab handles that loop over the roll bar? They're not just inadequate — they're a safety hazard on newer JLs and JLUs. An airbag deploying into a handle looped over the bar can turn that handle into a projectile.

What Makes the Bartact Bolt-On Different

We invented the bolt-on paracord grab handle specifically because of this problem. Instead of looping anything over the roll bar, our handles mount to the existing OEM bolt holes on the roll bar uprights. No contact with the airbag deployment zone. No drilling. No modifications.

• Bolt-on mounting — uses factory holes, removes in seconds
• 550 paracord construction — hand-woven in Temecula, CA
• SRS airbag safe — designed specifically for 2024+ roll bar airbag models
• 30+ colors — match your interior or go full custom
• Made in USA — every single one, no exceptions

JL vs JLU — Same Handle, Different Positions

The 2-door JL and 4-door JLU use the same bolt-on grab handles at the front A-pillar positions. The JLU also has rear roll bar positions for rear-seat passengers — running a full set means every row has something to hold on to. On a trail with a full crew, that matters.

Why Paracord?

Military-spec 550 paracord has a 550 lb break strength. UV-resistant, doesn't absorb water, won't crack or fade. Grips well with gloves or wet hands — unlike smooth rubber or plastic that gets slippery when it counts.

We invented this product. We hold the patent. Every knockoff you see is copying what we built.
