Light Bars???? CHEAP???
Anyone know of any CHEAP I mean Cheap lightbars for the roof?
I see like 90-120$ ones on Ebay, It seems soo simple and was going to make one, but if I can find one for like 60-80$ online i'm gonna get it.
Dont tell me to use the stock rack, it's so flimsy... I put 2 on it currently and it's horrible. Need something better. Holding 4 lights.

se if you can browse craigs list for a Thule Roof Bar with gutter mounts! they are supper sturdy! i wended my rack to 2 of the bars and i can bounce around and sleep 2 ppl on an air mattress and it doesnt even move.
I used the Thule Load Bar's as light bars before and they work wonders. You can find them most of the time on CL for cheap like i said at the beginning.

Will that fit? It's 50$ and cheap so if it will I guess I'll buy it.

Stock roof rack works for me. Have 4 small lights mounted Under the front cross bar and 2 on top of it. Don't have a pic with the top lights.

My ends are falling off, and the metal bar itself don't look sturdy, I have 2 Huge Hella Lights which weigh a ton right now. I want to get 4 Lights on it though.

Not sure what Kind I have, their the All Glass Baja style. I just think it looks dumb right now, the wires are hanging basically, I tried to tape it down and it just fell off, and maybe 2 more would make it look better. But the wire issue is bad...

Your sock roof rack will work well, it just depend on how you'll gonna mount those lights... Find a way to stabilize your stock roof rack...
