I own a 2001 cherokee and have been upgrading it since I got it. I want to start doing some night wheelin with some friends so for my next upgrade I want a light bar on the roof. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for bars and lights. Pictures would be a huge help. Thanks.

 

I just used the factory cross bars that came with it.

 

Yeah that is one of my options I am considering but the factory bars are about a foot and a half from the edge of the roof on the newer models. I wanted to get closer to the edge. Thanks for the feedback

 

I put some up there but my friends won't let me turn them on because I blind them when I'm behind them. There is a company called Rock Ratz or something like that that makes one that bolts to the roof rack rails or drip rail if your rails don't run up far enough.

 

Mount them on the bumper if you arent leading because you will blind everyone and its easier to wire,

but they make gutter mounts for your jeep To mount lights on

 

i got one from i forget who...but it is right above the windshield and i love it...i will take pics tomorrow...actually i have some now. here you go:

here is the only pic i have now...will take more tomorrow



this is with all my lights on...still need adjustment



this is jut headlights and fog lights



This is with all of them on, sry for the bad pick, my winshield was dirty and camera out of focus...still need to align lights better but you get the idea. but as you can see the roof lights also light up the hood, but i like it at night so i can see the front of my rig in really dark situations.



My light rack mounts to the gutter rail just like my roof rack does.

 

thats a fine rig you got there trans am and thanks for the pictures this gives me a good idea of what the light projection will look like but one question, what kind of lights are you running? And to xjmark and azxj I actually am considering putting them on the bumper but it just think that a bar with them on top looks better...my friends will have to deal haha

 

harbour freight lightsless than 30 dollars a set 100 watt

 

the lights i have up there are procomp explorer 100w, but i converted them to 35w 6000k HID lights...much MUCH brighter....it is like driving in daylight!

 

Heres what i did they project pretty well.They are knockoff kcs off ebay.

 

Trans am what bumper do you have on there in that first pic?

 

i got that bumper from Logan's metal Products...it is their Pre-runner style bumper. they offer powder coat but i opted to paint it myself, in case or trail damage (or should i say because of trail damage) i wanted to be able to repaint it with no problem

 

Murduredxj, did u ad that bull bar to the stock bumper? if you did where did you get it? I like the look of lights on the bull bar.

 

trans am, what kind of roof rack you hav on there behind the light bar? I am looking into those aswell.

 

I made it myself and just bolted it on. Its not very rugged but im waiting to build a bumper to mount it on.
