In an attempt to make my xj more passenger friendly I was thinking about Screwing handles to the exterior of the jeep between the roof rack and the gutters. alot of people use my seats as handles to climb in and as a result both headrests are broken and the seats wobble a little tiny bit. to avoid further damage to my interior, I had planned to reinforce the handles on the interior with larger screws so they wont tear out and to screw handles into theedge of the roof. I was wondering what your guy opinions are and anything anybody else has done. post pics or w/e just lookin to get an idea.

I was thinking about doing something similar because I have a short fat friend who is ruining my seats.

no not to the rain gutter, in between the rain gutter and the rack, on that curved bit of roof area. seems sturdy enough.

What about on the side of the jeep like vertical next to the rear doors and on the A pillar. If they cant crawl into it the roof may be a little high as well
