FWIW, I contacted the seller I bought these from and explained the situation. Not because I wanted a refund, but to save the next guy some trouble. He offered to give me a partial refund, which I declined. He was really great about. Great customer service!

OK, so I finally made time to put my JK-RiGrips on. I know there are some comments on this thread concerning the JK-RiGrip II, but I ordered the original grips with the full rubber cover and I love them. I can literally hang my full body weight on them and with the full rubber cover, they look absolutely factory. Best of all, they just plain work for me to get in and out without cranking on my steering wheel. I also ordered the rear grabs which are not rigid, but do bolt to existing holes in the roll bar.

I did find these on a website which had web ordering, but had better luck ordering from the maker on Ebay. The shipping from Canada is a bit pricey, but a great product IMO.

rhmiller, I like the way your front handles fit with the sport bar padding. I couldn't get mine to fit like that. I wonder if the padding was different in '07.

I recently installed the Synergy ones- love them. Bolt on the pillar and a thick hook-clamp on the rollbar. Also very solid.

Back to the OP question. I'm pretty sure your talking about the ones made in the USA by welcome distributing. They have a discount code for forum members. http://www.welcomedistributing.com/

I have the eBay rigrip ones. I'm waiting on the hardware.

I'm with Flyer. I have the Synergy Suspension grab handles, and they are rock-solid. The installation is likely more difficult than the ones discussed here, but I didn't really like the look of the finished product. I tried the soft handles, but it's awkward to grab them and they get in the LOS. The SS handles are completely out of the way but right where they need to be for my wife's ingress/egress since I don't have a step. I drilled a 1.5" hole with a hole saw instead of notching the plastic trim as the instructions show per one of the 4WD magazine's article, and I think it looks much better. Haven't done the rear yet, but it's in the long-range plan.
