they all hang low and shitty and are just about unusable. every brand. I was a dumbass and bought the freaking Rebel Offroad handles. STUPID. They are all the same. Cheap chinese crap that doesn't actually perform.

why the headrest removal? lots of work looks like, damn! i know they aren't the simple pull out ones, but ouch...

I can't see out the back now much anyway with the 35" BFG AT on mine... the headrests aren't helping i guess, haha

Sorry to hear you are disappointed in our 100% Made in the USA grab handles. You would be our very first complaint on them but if you aren't satisfied by our very much not Chinese crap then please contact us and we'll be glad to work something out with you.

Didn't see me ever needing them, they got in the way all the time when I put a lot of stuff in the back, they made looking out difficult, I can't see myself ever wanting them back on.... But I am keeping them stored just in case

Y'alls' handles are probably good, but RR, was not good, I kept hitting my head every time I got in, someone needs to make an adjustable length grabhandle

Haven't seen a write up on the head rest removal yet, haven't looked either. But, I like it. Any tips?

Wear gloves, I got my hand sliced several times by the metal,
Get a socket wrench, I think it was something small you need maybe 8mm
A second person helps to keep the cloth off while you are reaching under,
and be careful, especially if you have leather

This is what I looked at before I did it
Four Door Rear Headrest Removal - JKowners.com : Jeep Wrangler JK Forum

And so far, after like 3 weeks, I still like it
