Just a few "mods" so far
Hey y'all, just thought I'd show ya some of the "mods" I've done so far (saving for lift, fenders, and 35's). The first are paracord grab handles. Made them myself using the king cobra weave and to match my jk color. The second is just stickers (one on each side).

Okay, now that I uploaded the pics and started the thread from my iPhone, I can give a little more detail from the laptop.
First, the grab handles:
I was going to be purchasing some paracord to have "just incase". I ended up deciding to make some grab handles out of some of it. I forgot exactly how much I used, but it wasnt "too much". As previously stated, I used the king cobra weave to make them nice and beefy. Also, the shackles are 5/16" if i remember correctly. To add some pattern to them, i just wove a short piece of black across each handle (gave it kind of a checkered look). The rears (didn't take pictures) look like they came from the factory. Ended up using webbing and attaching to the sound bar bolts (as in orangeav's (Im pretty sure that is who did the write-up, ps, THANK YOU for the idea!!)). I have had so many people come up to me and ask where i bought them!! When I tell them I made them, they instantly want me to make them some (have yet to have any of them actually buy the paracord so i can make them for them...lol).
The Stickers:
Self explainatory. lol

Nice work with the 550cd, I never thought to use it in my jeep like that, and I prolly have about 1,500ft of it in my closet. Thanks for the pics, and the idea, gonna make some stuff for mine now as well...

Yeah! I love playing with paracord. I have made zipper pulls for my JK. Been thinking about doing the steering wheel too.
Oh yeah and I love salt life stuff!
Have fun with your build!

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty happy with the way they came out. I just need to find a better way to attach them to the roll bar for the front 2. I'm not too keen on how I have them attached now, but it will work for the time being. If anyone has any questions about how I made mine, feel free to ask!
