So I now have a set of aux lights up front that I am very happy with. I would like to add a light bar with 4 lights up top. I have seen them on XJs before and I like the way they look.
So my question is, does anyone recommend a type or brand of light bar? My Cherokee has no luggage rack on top, I'd be gutter mounting it. And I would like to keep it as inexpensive as possible.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.

When I got mine I did alot of footwork to find one .... in the end the only one I could find was the CARR bar which I got from Quadratec..

For Lights all depends on how good you want for them, I got a killer Deal for the JK Lights I Have ... if I didn't get those I would of probably used some Baja Tough Lights from Walmart or something Along those lines.

That is exactly what I want. I really like that. Thanks for the link. How did you run the wires for the light bar? I've never put one on a vehicle and I am wondering where the wires are run. Down the drivers door jam? Or drill a hole and run them through the roof and then seal the hole? I have no idea really.
By the way, your lights up front on the bumper are exactly where I wanted to put mine. I even drilled the holes in the same spots. But I ended up not being able to mount them there because I couldn't get my hand/arm in far enough through the little cut out on the drivers side to put the nut on the bolt holding the light mounting bracket. How did you do it?

I drilled a hole in the roof under the roof rack then sealed the hole up. the front Bumper lights were a royal pain to get in .. If I did it again I would remove the bumper to do it tbh...

When I put a light bar on mine I'll have to find a good spot to put the hole for the wires to go through. My Cherokee has no roof rack so I have no place to hide it under.
Thanks!
Thanks!
