Barely read past the first couple lines and bought mine. Great idea, and I love how Project-JK gets props on their website.

Thanks for this information. Just order two for my 2-door JK. FYI - they actually have updated the website highlighting the support of JK Forum and all the orders...I even think they used your picture. Look forward to getting these in soon.

Just purchased 5 grab handles for $22.00 shipped. Got them from Strapworks.com. search for: Thermo-plastic Handle on 1in Black Tubular Nylon Webbing
Same product OP posted except half the price.

Edit - Just got my handles in today. took 4 days to get them with basic shipping. Confirmed exact same product has OP posted.

Why don't you guys use the stock handles that come with the Jeep?

These ones fit better for the back seats on the 4-doors. The ones that come with the Jeep work better for the front.

To put a hole in the webbing, just heat a bolt up nice and hot and press it into the webbing, it will burn a hole that is self healed, then you can bolt it up to the soundbar.

If that didn't make sense, I will post pics in this thread when I get home next month and put my handles on.
