JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

depending on how tight you make the knotwork it shouldnt stretch much if any at all....550 paracord is parachute cord, if it stretched that wouldnt be to safe lol. the stretching of grab handles with this would be more along the lines of the two parts that tie to the roll bar coming closer together while pulling. this could be avoided by putting something stiff inbetween then on the top of the rollbar where you dont see it. that would help avoid. I havnt done handles, I have the mobar ones....I might make some now though haha

You can also find 550 cord at Ranger Joes and US Cavalry, but will pay a hefty price for it there. For you military guys, I recommend shopping at my favorite place, HHC supply...lol.

you can do it many different ways, I just always start with a cobra knot for the first knot, is hard as it wants to move but once you get a couple down it holds tight.

Not very well I am Afraid. It stays but it is a large knot on the left hand side on the back of the wheel. I kind of over did it so it wouldnt come undone. I will probably go back ang fix it to a slimmer tougher knot. Just as soon as I can figure one out
