Hello all -- 'have had this Badlands for a few weeks and am still kinda breaking-in the engine and moving parts.
Yes, it's been muddy
already.

This, my first post, is about my feedback on the assist grab strap many people have. I was thinking of buying one, but wanted to try my own prototype first -- 'was wondering if the position was right.
First Mod: made a quick prototype using some 1-inch strap from an old daypack and hot nail to melt the attach holes with.
Using the two existing screws, it installed easily, like many folks here have already mentioned. I tried the new strap out a few times and drove with it for a day.
Second Mod: removed the strap.
For me, it was too far aft to help me get in/out as easily as I had hoped and was a little bit of a distraction with some pesky brushes across my face. I will try using some other attach points more forward along the cage: stay tuned for any results from the next attempt.
(am considering some elastic piece attached to the middle of the strap and the rear attach point that tucks the strap up a bit, but is still easy to grab)
For imagery and entertainment: the vehicle,
...and, here is the prototype strap that was designed for very temporary use:
I hope this is a little useful and interesting to others!
