Try these but you will have to fab up a mount of some type. It will allow you to keep the OEM latch pin on the jamb.http://www.yogisinc.com/Detail.cfm/-...47/product.htm
Hope that is what you are looking for.

I've seen quite a few people reuse a TJ door handle. Not sure how but I'll address that when I get there...
