Is there a way to put grab handles in the center front roof area. I was wheeling last weekend and kept reaching up to that area trying to grab something that wasn't there. Years ago I had a CJ with handles there. That's probably why I kept reaching.

Shouldn't your hands be on the steering wheel?

Lots of times only one hand is needed.

I think for what your after you would need center bars. Or something DIY custom made. Or use the desire for something to grab onto as justification to go to a 4 point harness.

That sounds funny and all until your rig is bouncing over obstacles and you haven’t gone to a 4 point or 5 point harness. Gravity tends to prove the shoulder lap belt combo less than ideal when off road on challenging trails and hanging onto the steering wheel causes other problems. Kind of difficult to steer when gravity is trying to put you in the passenger seat or leaning on the window.
