Just finished mounting and wiring lights on my roof rack. Whatcha think. Sorry, Not much of a photographer.

Here's a few more pics

 

What brand of rack is that ?

 

What type of lights are those? Looks good.. Looks like you drilled a hole through the roof.. did that hurt? I hate drilling holes in the something that I might change later on..

The front and rear 18 inches of the rack is a Coleman brand rack I got off Craigslist for 30 bucks. I pulled it apart and fabbed the center to extend it about 26-30 inches.

 

The lights are "Sirius" brand lights. My cousin owns a truck accessory shop and bought out another company. He bought all of their off road lights. I have never heard of the Sirius brand light, but my cousin just charged me 5 bucks a light and I couldn't pass it up. The bulbs are just 55 watts but I'm gonna throw in some 120 watts soon. It didn't bother me to drill through the roof. I put the quick connect on top so if I need to take off the roof rack all I have to do is unhook that one connector and the lights and rack come off all together. Plus, the hole is in a place that is not very noticible.

 

Sounds like a heck of deal, they look alot like a set of lights my local Pep boys auto parts store has.. they are fairly cheap but I plan to mount two to my front bumper so if they get broken I am not out too much.

 

That's lookin pretty schnazzy there G!
Looks way cool. Makes the rig look mean...

 

I'm not big on the plastic housing on the lights, but again, for 5 bucks a light I couldn't say no. But i do really like the low profile design of the housing. One of these day's I may be able to afford a bad ace set of Hella's or PIAA's but for now these will work just fine.

 

Thanks a lot. I thought it added a lot to the Jeep.

 

looks good
good deal on the lights and rack i wish i could find a rack for $30

 

Try Industrial Strip or Deja Vu...

 

it looks greeeat

 

Thanks. I was looking forever for a rack but didn't wanna pay the bucks. You may search for Coleman Roof racks and see what you can find. I did some research and found a lot fo CJ owners using them. I think they are just 80 bucks new. The Coleman rack itself isn't very heavy duty, but if you can fab up a stirdy middle section it should work great. A few weeks ago I went hunting and a buddy of mine and myself shot a deer the same morning. We put the deer on the roof rack and drove back to camp and the rack worked great. Didn't bend at all. I sprayed the rack with a textured spray I got at Wally World and it didn't scratch at all.
