Anyone designed/found a passenger grabrail?

[hogrider80]

My wife keeps lamenting the lack of a grab rail. I sympathize. I have the steering wheel to hang onto, so getting roughed up isn't an issue for me. The handle on the A pillar is too far for her reach. Has anyone seen or come up with a grabrail solution for the front passenger? I can't see my own solution that doesn't involve tearing up the front dash and eliminating one of the glove boxes. The alternative is a four point harness, but I'm a little worried she'll feel too constrained in it.

I know razorback off-road carries a couple different handles that are sold in pairs. Also try a search, I believe there was a member that was successful in finding a handle for the passenger side that worked well for her. The members name was Susanna I believe.

Mr.C is correct, it was Susanna looking for a handle. I thought she even called Polaris and had something worked out.

I bought mine from Polaris. The front grab also fits above the passenger door. On my rig the holes were predrilled. I just used the same self tapping bolts from the front handle. If you go to your shop and look at the expanded view of the parts for the cab area it shows the handle being placed there.

This handle is from Polaris........you surely didn't think they would give you more than 1 piece of plastic that should already have been on your Ranger for $22 did you?

Nope, guess not

Thanks for the replies, folks. Ultimately I just ordered a generic door handle with a wrap-around pad. I haven't installed it yet, but it shouldn't be all that difficult. The only thing I don't like is it will intrude into the seating area. For my wife, it'll be fine. For larger passengers, maybe not so much. I plan to use rivet nuts so I can quickly remove it. I wish Polaris had provided a bar in the ranger like their CanAm competitor did in the Defender.

Please post some pics and links when you complete install. My wife would like a handle for getting in and out. After she had to drive the ranger a few times while I was down, she mentioned it was nice having the steering wheel to help get in and out.
