I have went through 2 AC grab bars the first time it was clearly my fault why it broke cuz the throttle stuck. But the second one i just tapped it and it bent up.
I am looking for a better grab bar i usually go with AC on everything but they are really disapointing me. I heard PRM is pretty good?
which would you rather have bend?
your grab bar?
or your sub-frame?

the grab bar obviously but its rediculous how lightly i tapped the grab bar, i was basicly coasting and it just touched.

I can build u one out of chromalloy (sp) and I will never bend!
But with the aluminum sub frame, I would rather bend grab bars any day!!!!

I have the Pro Armor rear grab bar and I am really happy with it. I have tested it a few times and I do not think I have gotten more then a small scratch on it. I can send you a pic if you want to see what it looks like on a R

i found a small company here in Indiana that makes armor and bumpers and grab bars. so being firly close to my house i went out there and looked at his stuff during production. on thing that cought my eye was his grab bar. it resembled a PRM desert bar but a lot thicker and stronger. i don't have any great pics but here is what it looks like.

so far the bar has been a wheelie bar, a push bar, an anchor point, you name it. it was hit from behind by a 650lbs 4x4 and it didn't even dent. the thing is strong. here is a link to his website

I use the same grab bar as dn1911... Its great and seems to slide on the ground more then any other grab bar... Since it dosnt catch I dont think im going to bend my subframe unless I hit really hard...
Heres an old pic of my R...

mike, did you have any problems with it bending or anything? i think the AC ones are pathetic the stock is much stronger. how does the PRM compare to stock?
i got a Rath racing rear grab bar and its the best price that ive found at $35 for natural, and they have powder coated black ones to for a little more. here is the link,

they are not as wide as they look in the picture. they are the perfect width to get a good hold on it if you have to pic it up. i will try to get some measurments tonight.
get the PRM it's strong and i think it cost around $40
