Thank you for posting this! I bought six (i for each door and two for the drivers/passengers headrest mount) after reading your comments. They are awesome. Super solid and easy to install. They are strong enough to hold my 300lbs. My kids use them to get in and out.
I actually emailed Strapworks to tell them to raise thier prices!

Thats awesome, they started off at $6.50 per handle are at at $3.75 now. I just run a 2door so I am getting two as my last home made ones were on the TJ that's with a new owner.

These ones look better then the ones I had before though. I just found the best looking bike grips I could find. These ones rock

Ordered 4 just a minute ago. This will be a nice solution. I will now move my two in the rear to the front since I don't have any there currently. I will take the other two new ones and stitch the ends into loops that will go around the the head rest posts. That way rear passengers will have something in front of them to grab onto when wheeling! That's what I'm talking about.

I received my 4 yesterday. I installed two in the sound bar (shown below). I have two being sewn for installation onto my head rest supports (Pics to come soon). I migrated my two that came from the dealer to the front. Great mod idea that took like 15 minutes to complete. I added the brass tarp eyelets to mine to prevent the webbing from unraveling.

I know it's kinda taboo to quote yourself, but this way all the pics of my grab handle mod are together. Here are the finished headrest handles. They came out awesome. My girls love them too.
