Just make some. They aren't hard to do. Search YouTube for cobra knot paracord bracelet and you will learn in no time.

I will be uploading the updates I've made in the past year! I added:
KC Lights ... the wiring was really difficult! LAY IT ALL OUT BEFORE you start plugging everything in.
Smittybilt tirecarrier... I was expecting it to break... it's held up the Duratrac 35s really well!
added reflective American flag decals
and I trimmed the steering box skid plate because the 35s kept rubbing the skid plate

I forgot to mention the Spidertrax 1.5" Wheel Spacers and Exhaust Spacers I put on!! If you lift your jeep 2" or more, you need wheel spacers and I would recommend getting an exhaust spacer kit because the driveshaft will be at such an angle that it will rub (possibly damage over time) the exhaust pipes. I'm not sure if this was a problem with newer models, but it is for most models. I would take a look yourself and if you have any doubt, go ahead and get it, it's best to have the peace of mind for $25

here's a diagram so you can see what I'm talking about, the exhaust crossover would hit the front driveshaft

Anvil is a great color. I was just in a Porsche showroom and they had a 911 in a new '17 color that's just a hair lighter than anvil. It looked as good on a Cabrio as it does on your awesome JK!
