Got mine installed.
A little tip..
To prevent possible future fraying AND if you don't have a punch tool of some sort..
I took a 3/8 in. bolt, stuck the tip in a fire (please hold with grips or something) and then pressed in (melted) the holes into the nylon straps.
Carterizes the threads so theres no possibility for future fraying.
Works like a charm.

Yup
I have just placed my order from Quadratec. Ordered them with grommet for $25 including shipping. Cant wait to put them in!
For those thinking that the handle is too far forward in the unlimited or any JK for that matter: When youre wheelin anyone thats in the back are gonna be leaning forward anyway. Theyre gonna want to see out the windshield as much as possible. Not like theyre just gonna be chilling with their back to the seat. Probably gonna be interested with whats going on upfront! Just a thought!

I did'nt read all the post's here but, they also make front straps to match. I have them on my Unlimited.
The front straps come with a set of three velcro straps that go around the roll bar padding. They look great because they match the back and they work just as well.
The part number for the "Front Ultimate Grab Handle" is 13505.04
By the way the straps are made by Rugged Ridge or OMIX-ADA same co. and web-site.
