Paracord ties up properly if you pull it tight enough. Otherwise, start with a loop passed under the wrap and pull the end under when you're done...

Did you take the handle off of the Jeep to wrap it or did you do it in place?

Installed GPCA GP-Grip Pro and GP Back Grip Pro on mine and love the look. I had originally purchased them OEM grab bars from Mopar but didn’t like them.

I like the Mopar grab handles but, like a lot of others, didn't like how low they hung and how visible they were when not in use. Solution? Magnets. Not the prettiest outcome on the handle side (will smooth/refine it when I can) but it works amazingly and didn't cost much. Simple neodymium magnets, the large one hidden under the top panel, and 2 disc-style ones that are epoxy'd inside a groove of the handle. Here are a few pics. Let me know if you want to know any specifics!

I have had the GPCA handles for awhile now and honestly i never use them, even with the doors off. I always grab the A pillar handle to get in and out. They look nice but ended up being a bit of a waste.

Anyone know which color grey is the most similar to Sting Grey? I’m torn between that and red for my Rubi.
