Thanks for post.

Just another grab point, Ended up with an extra set of handles, so went ahead and opened up the 10mm grommet hole a little so that it would fit over the head rest.

I ended up getting two sets of handles since they were so cheap ($3.75 each) and hope to come up with a place to put the rear set to help people get in the back of my 2dr. I'm not sure if there is anything that can help that situation though.

Damn, just ordered 4 Mopar grab handles for my JKU the other day! Paid $45 for 4 plus $7 shipping...not too bad I guess. I would have gotten these instead.

Yeah its actually been updated for a while. I dont think they asked permission either from the OP of the photo..but a good deal regardless.

Put mine in last week and the kids are much happier now when they climb in and out of the back..

Just ordered mine (and a couple extra for a gift) from strapworks.com.

Follow-up... They got here fast. $20 total for 4 straps in 2 days. I used a heated nail set to burn a nice, neat hole through them. I was going to put a grommet in them but I think they're plenty strong without. Thanks to the OP for this one!

Got mine in last week and got them installed in about 15 minutes. Simple, easy and looks great at a great price. Thanks JK forum!
