So I took advantage of a relative travelling to US and picked up myself a set of Welcome Distributing Grab Handles. These things are solid steel, powdercoated and very very sturdy. They are placed well within the cabin and make a massive difference in getting in and out of a lifted Jeep. Massive kudos to Ken from Welcome Distributing for his customer service and quality product.
I understand that they will soon be available for international clients and I highly recommend them. There are cheaper products out there, but these things are bomb proof and perfectly positioned. I bought both front and rear handles, install was simple.
According to Ken, these are the 1st set in Australia. I cant speak highly enough for the product!!
Here is a pic of the fronts.
It would have been easy to buy these using a freight forwarder but I was waiting for YankeeDave to start making them locally.
I realise that I might be waiting years, so I'm reconsidering buying the American ones.
Yeah i saw that thread Zander. To be honest Ken Welke (CEO of WD) is such a fantastic person I am glad I went this route and purchased from them. There is no chance of hitting your head on these getting in or out of the jeep. I reckon you would be touched up by freight forwarders on these as they are heavy for the size and already cost a bit. May make it prohibitive to purchase that way.
