Grab handles
For the rear passengers I bought a set of grab handles from Chesapeake Light Craft. ://bit.ly/f4VHH7[/url]
Here's the forum right-up link: http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-ups/163 These handles are great and can be attached to the roll bar using the speaker bar bolts. The handles do not come with brass eyelets. For added strength I had an auto upholstery shop install 5/16 brass eyelets. It cost $6.00 for the eyelets which make for a clean install. I recommend you remove one of the bolts from the speaker bar so the upholstery guy can find an eyelet that fits.

another vote for Mastercraft. If you order those, get all 4 at once, slightly cheaper than buying a front and rear set. I am just under 200 lbs and pulled myself off the ground and hung there, the velcro straps didn't budge. I think the 3 straps really helps

I installed the Jeep ones that came with the JK, but I find they do not stay tight, no matter how many times I cinch the darn things up. I had Mastercraft on my 09 and loved then, and I am ordering some now. I also put on the Mastercraft rear ones on my new JK and they are super heavy duty.

I have the four Mastercraft handles. I have a 6" lift and had no side rails to use as a step, so my driver's handle was taking a beating. The handle stitching failed; I contacted MC via email and received a phone call from Lizard within half an hour. He shipped me a new front set and a return shipping label; so I could send the failed one back. They wanted to see exactly what happened to the stitching; so they could review production processes and/or QC. Great customer service; they really stepped up! Anyone can have a failure in a product; it's what happens afterwords that shows a company's real business savvy! Remember... "Safety" is part of MC's actual business name!
