I'm unfamiliar with the term "snap handles". If you mean handles that go on the roll/sports bar, I've got the Mastercraft. I bought them from Quadratec--and they offer lots of variety in these handles at a wide price range. Here's a pic, with the flashlight holder also (a separate part):

I think "snap" is a substitute for another four letter word that begins with "S" . At least that's what I've always heard them called.

I got mine from David @ Northridge 4x4 He had a crap load. The Master Craft ones match the ones from the kayak store I linked to. Oh Snap!, and get the 3" ones not the 2".

Get the kit from Norhridge. It comes with all four and then you dont have to do mods to make the rear ones work.

Sorry, crappy cell phone pics, but here are a couple of mine. I have the Mastercraft in front, but didn't bother to take a pic of those.

I used the handles from the boat place for the rear:

Also used them for the A-pillar. I personally think these are a better placement than on the roll bar. I use this more to get in and they don;t obstruct my view at all and I sit with the seat as high as it will go.
