IDK but I think he zip tied his wires from his CB and ran then through the door opening and thinks that will work for any roof mounted lights.

Here is what I have come up with for my cheap light bar.
Taking a piece of Alum. angle cutting it about 4 inches longer than the rack on the roof. Cutting have of the 90 on both ends(like making tabs) so I can bend the ends to roll over the rack, fasten it down to the rack. Mount two lights on the angle spaced evenly apart, runnig the wires inside of a small black hose to protect them, zip tie tha to the angle. runn the wires throught the roof rack into the hatch and all the way to the front where it will be worked by a toggle switch.

Best I can do with $0! As long as it works and looks decent I don't care.
Starting this as soon as I get my jeep back!

Nobody has input on what fuse I should run. I will probably have 200 watts total. The reason I'm going with afuse instead of finding power somewhere else is I rather blow a fue with just that instead of blowing one piggybacking on something important.
