I think the Rugged Ridge is only for the rear if that helps.

Get the Mastercraft kit from Northride. The rears attach in the two bolts on the roll car. They feel a little more stout.

The mastercraft and the rugged ridge look very similar ( actually identical ) in the small pics everyone is posting. I don't know what brand my fronts are ( from my TJ ) but my backs are rugged ridge and the handle itself is identical to the front.

I also bought the handle for the seat ( headrests ). I think the handles that attach to the speaker screws actually work better on the headrests. The metal grommet fits very nice, the one made for the headrests actually bunch up under the headrest.


EDIT: Don't buy the neoprene handles from any company. Not only do they look bad and hang too low, they also rip up very easily.

I saw a grab handle on a 3/4 ton chevy (2008) that actually is spring hinged to fold up to the top...gonna look at maybe a modification to mount these for mine..prolly a mount straight into the roll bar under the nerf and flush with the bar. it wont hang down and will have a clean installed look..i hope.
