Redeemed faith in my grab handles!
I am sure I am not the first to do this, but for anyone else disappointed that your grab handles are not being used because they are in an awkward position on your roll bar, there is a solution! - I got the idea from the Quadratec catalog.
They work great!! My girlfriend actually uses them now!

DIY shovel mount on stock spare tire
Was at Home Depot and Canadian Tire when it came to me. Tried looking for a large enough washer that would sit behind the the spares center cap and figured I'd step them up from the standard 3/8 washer but couldn't find an 8" carriage bolt that the threads go all the way up to the head.
Came across a 12" 1/8" thick mending plate and figured I could chop it to fit. Then I found a 12" threaded rod that would be easy enough to cut down too. So add 4 bolts, a fender washer, a wing nut, drilled a hole through the shovel shaft and the mount was born.

I haven't decided yet. I really haven't gotten any further than looking at pricing and doing it.

Ended up plasti-dipping the bumper after the shop that installed the rod racks told me that there was a little too much going on with spacers and whatnot with the install. A lot cleaner now.

Gettin ready for winter so painted the ugly ass white interior of the hardtop/freedom panels.
Used Rustoleum 2X semi-gloss black and have to say was very impressed with the coverage.
Only prep was wiping everthing down with Krud Kutter mask and paint.
