The rock Ratz isnt bad but i personal dont like the look of the mounting brackets. Im going to use my stock roof rack cross bar and use that as a light bar.

I know what you mean, but I don't wanna drill into my stock one because I am not going ot have them up there for long. As soon as my front bumper is done I am going to put them on there.
