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.

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.

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.
