Just installed these today. They're brilliant!

I was amused to see that CLC mentioned the JK fit and actually had a pic of them in a JK on the product description. This is definitely a case of Jeep serendipity!

Mine were on back order also, but I received them sooner than expected. They are worth the wait in my opinion.

For pics of CLC and ultimate grab handles installed on my JK, click the link in my sig.

I ordered them from a well known site that had them backordered. Probably the same site... Then I canceled that order and ordered them from their main competitor 4WheelDrive Hardware who had them shipped in a day. (I'm no good at waiting either!)

I like all the grab handle ideas but I also like the seat storage covers seen on the quadratec page from Scottcarp post. I have tried to find them with no luck. Does anyone know who or where.

I just got mine from Chesapeake Light Craft. I added a Steel Gromit on it instead of just cuting a hole. i thought it would make it a little stronger.

Just got mine in two days ago from CLC. Had them on in less than 10 minutes. I probably will go back with a grommet or metal washer at some point but the kids are the only ones using them for now. got my front ones should be in any day.

Great Find!!!!
Called and ordered mine today. The rep asked me where I heard of their product, as soon as I told her a JK forum board, she said "Ahhh, yes, so you'll be wanting grab handles". She went on and told me that within the past few days, they have been swamped with calls for the handles.
Again, thanks for the info on this Great Find.

I ordered my rear grab handles from CLC before I had my JK.

I added a metal washer for extra strength but to make the hole in the strap, I gradually stretched the material until the bolt would barely fit through. I did this so as not to break the fibers thus weakening them. Took longer, but it works. I have a husky 12 year old son that loves to hang on them.
