This is the only video I've ever seen and understood the cobra stitch. Thank you for the enlightenment.

13 inch socket, must be buildin a bridge..

I just finished two of these for a friend that turned out 12" in total length from end to end. That includes the attachment holes in each end. The lengths of cord I used are as follows: The four strand core was started with 4' 2" as he instructed The base layer cobra weave used almost exactly 10' (I started with 15' as he instructed but ended up with almost exactly 5' left over.) The final cobra weave used exactly 13' 4" (I started with 20' total and ended up with 6' 8" left over.) You should probably start with a little more than actually needed just in case, but there's no need to waste 5 or 6 feet of cord if you don't have to. Happy weaving people!

Great tutorial! Never worked with 550 cord before. Just completed my first front handle, and I'm impressed with my work, if I do say so myself! Thanks for all the detail!

Just made the front handles. They look good. I found for the first round of weave making the base I used 9.5 ft of cord and for the outermost weave I used 10 ft of cord.

Thanks mate! Used your basic ideas for the headrest handles with my own twist and absolutely love it! You get all the credit!

I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to make these for my JK!

I had some trouble with low lighting but very happy to find your video. Excellent tutorial.

Thanks man, I made a pair of headrest handles and they turned out great!

That's a big fuckin' socket!

Thanks for the video!!! I'm making these things like a pro cant want to make them all and add them to the jeep! THANKS!!!

Thanks a lot Branden, mine turned out great! I also gave you a shoutout on the wrangler forum (thread title: what did you do to your jk today)

Thumbs up just because I love the drop transition!

Just wanted to say thank you very much for the help this video was super super helpful

Great Video. Very Easy to follow. Made two straps for my JK. Thanks so much.

Thank you! I think to attach it to the roll bar though I’m gonna get some 1” nylon strapping and buckles/clips. I dunno how the buckle parts might run on the paint but we shall see! It’s still a no sew option.

Great video. Made mine this arvo for the front seats and it looks so neat and professional. Awsome looking Jeep by the way 😊

13 inch socket? I don't have one of those... Haha good video though.

awesome tutorial. just made a complete set of six in my JK!! they look so sick!!

What length of cord did you use for each of the handles. You stated that the front handle is 12", so that's 4' of the inner loops.. but then what about the Wraps??

This was awesome! SO EASY TO FOLLOW! Thanks so much!

Great vid! This gave a an idea to make these for the door pull handles on the inside of my 86 yota! Awesome!

Mine turned out great! Thanks for the video :)

This whas very informative thank you for making the video. I was ablw to follow step by step. Although i did it all with one color

Thanks man! You're a genius!

Can you provide the lengths of the cords for the base layer and outerlayers of the front grab handles? Whats the rule of thumb for lengths?

Great video! Planning on making some for mine!

That is one awesome looking Jeep !!

Absolutely awesome! Thanks very much for the vid. Nicely done.

this is really cool man! i'm going to make myself a few key chains and then some grab handles! and if all else fails i'll buy a few from surprise straps!

thanks for the video bro! it helped a great deal!

Love your rig!

I messed around with the cobra weave and i found out if you use 2 different colors for the base lets say white as the edge and black in the center and do the same for for the second weave on it but make the white center and black on the edge and looks pretty sick

Thanks for the video very good I like being able to see what it looks like on the jeep and where you bolted them in. I want to do what you did but I dont want to bolt anything on the cord thats just me. I think I have seen washers that has a place to hook things on I will go to lowes to find them. Very cool jeep by the way.

How long does the paracord pieces that go around the roll bar have to be?

Hey Branden, I just did my first one and its great! Awesome Tutorial! I have a question though. At 24:30 how long is the handle that goes over the roll bar into the D-ring? Thanks!

Thanks for the video!

Doing this now but it keeps twisting. I only did the first layer so far. Not sure if I should go ahead and do the second layer to see if it straightens out. Any thoughts?

If I want to make a 4ft 3 in paracord handle ,about how much wrap would you recomend me to use for it . I would love to make one for the back of my JK for people to grab on to and not the bar where they could easily let go . Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

good to see you on here getjeeping!

Hello! Just ran across this video. I made a handle but having hard time finishing it off. It looked like you just cut and melted the ends. Do you know them at all first?

Thanks man! Great info. Nice Jeep too btw

Awesome video! Thank you so much for sharing. Going to try this out. Is there a specific brand for paracord you prefer when making these?

Its 1 foot, give or take a hundredth of an inch... Those are tolerances I can live with!

does the 100ft each color for the main handles assume the double layer or single layer?

I like that the inners are NOT nylon web - that the 550 cord itself is at the load-bearing part where the fastener is. I must have gone through 8-12 replacement after market grab handles in about 5 years on my wife's jeep (counting front and rear). They all have that Velcro nylon webbing that wraps around the roll bar , that part is fine. Then there's the nylon web loop of the handle itself that goes through the webbing that is around the roll bar. It;s that freaking nylon web loop part that always fails. Like a dry-rot, or UV deterioration or something. I don't get how it can be UV when the top is up 90% of the time, or when the rest of the nylon webbing and other pouches and whatnot never fail or discolor, yet that freaking part at exactly the anchor point - the nylon web loop is the part that consistently fails every time, and always for some reason when only a slight pull (like when you lift up a little bit to rearrange ur butt). For some reason never had one fail while under full load of hoist someone up or down (thank God). Anyways, it always baffled me and pissed me off that the one particular spot continually fails. It's nice to see this thing is complete 550 cord through and through, and not nylon web at the fasting point. Thank you Sir!!!

yea i painted the back end. but the front half was already gloss black.

your Jeep looks good

Sweet thanks

Just a hint for the 2011+ interiors the front handles have to be a lot longer, I made mine 14 inches and they were still too short

Great video, and Nice lookin' Jeep! I'm going to make a set of these this weekend... Tell me if I'm thinking correctly. I'd like the base layer and the 2nd layer to be a single, un-welded piece. When I get to the end of the base layer (15:55 in this video), if I flip the piece over and tie the knots all the way back down... will that work?

Dude where did you get your seat covers from?

where does he do the headrest one

Thx for the awesome video!!!! And the jeep is nice Bud. Riced out? NOT.

yea i removed it a long time ago. herculiner roll on bed liner. but i wouldnt recommend it, as i cut myself on it every time i touch it. and the 3.5 is AWESUMMM. articulation is great!

did you remove the carpet in your jeep? and if you did what did you do to the tub. Hows the 3.5 rk x factor? i was looking into getting one, hows the flex?

how long are the individual pieces for the braid?

At 9:00 when you melt join the paracord, will it hold up the weight of a heavy man? I'm concern about breaking apart while under stress... What do you think?

Fantastic video! Can't wait to give it a try. Please answer me this tho, I am having so much trouble with tire sizes. What exact so are those duratracs? And how much back spacing do you have, that's the exact look I want on my wrangler! Thanks in advance!

Hey man. What are the dimensions for the inside paracord for each one. Like before you do the cobra weave. What are those sizes?

How did you paint your speed gauges red? Make a tutorial please!!!

Did you paint your roll bars? Because mine are just the grey primer

What else have you made besides grab handles?

How much of the pink did you use I'm making a set right now but am not sure how much cord to use over the base layer

Is making the keychains the same thing but small?

How did you get the instrument cluster detailed in red?

koozies, dog collars, leashes, winch line holders, ipad holder, sealed bags...a lot.

Those running boards on your Jeep what are the Brand?

But I have a 2 door jeep, not a minivan version?

ill be doing one here soon.

13 inch??? you mean milimeter

where do you get black and red parachord annnnd whee do you get those mini d rings ??

What size are those d-rings?

if i paid you $35 would you make me 2 front grab handles for my jk in red just like the one you have in the video ?

I stumbled across your videos a couple days ago I've got an 08 Jk, its funny every thing you've painted red I've painted gecko green, I'd like to se how you got in to the gauge cluster

Where did you get those D rings?

how the ipad holders come out?

where do you buy your 550 cord? the real stuff?

Where did you get the mini D rings?

So 50ft of cord each handle ?

Great video mine turned out awesome .... they are in a YJ.... thanks

Where can I get those little D rings?

mine don't stay straight 😟 I've tried twice already....

18:33

Can you just make some for me

Posting from my fiance's google account lol

never seen a riced out jeep before

13 inch bolt head size? haha what?

Definitely wear gloves when making these.

Man... All we need. A spoiled brat schooling people on how to braid. Lol.
