Default Metal Interior Grab Handles?

does anyone make these for our trucks? I've seen Defender ones but none for discos...I was thinking of contacting Monroe engineering.
One example:

They have some cool aluminum ones too though

Have not experienced heavy off roading but seems to me that if you end up bouncing inside, that might crack your scull. But, nice looking thou.

Likely belt will not limit body/head travel and why grab handles more head damage friendly. What's cool today may not be cool tomorrow.

yes. the stock ones are degrading. The plastic is coming off of them when you scratch it.
