I use small carabiner.. Works great!

Yes but when you roll your jeep everything will look normal again.

Thought I'd post this here as well.

BMX foot rest

I got the idea off of another forum...

Here are the parts needed:
BMX foot peg
One 3/8 x 4 eye bolt (if I remember correctly)
Two 3/8 fender washers (I cranked these until they were dimpled to keep the eye bolt somewhat centered)
Three "normal" 3/8 washers (one inside the peg, two above and below the hinge)
One 3/8 x 1 1/2 bolt (holding eye bolt to peg)
Two 3/8 nuts (one inside peg, one on eye bolt)

Hopefully this helps. See attached photos.

Took my old grab handles and removed the cheap looking rubber grips and replaced with paracord.
