Has anyone used the luggage rack to mount your off road lights on? I saw a picture on the internet but was not to clear. If you have done so and have pics please post or email them to me. alfonsoperez0@gmail

When I bought my jeep it had two lights up there. It was just the main bar moved as far forward as possible and holes drilled in it. I would have left it if the lights were worth anything but they didnt work so I took them off. Plus if your gonna do it get four lights up there cause two just looks like mickey mouse ears.

Four looks much better than two thats for sure

troy fritz

I agree. At first I put 2 on and did'nt like it so I put 2 more on and love it.

how do you guys run the wireing for the lights?

troy fritz

I took the long rail off and drilled a hole through the roof and ran the wireing down the pillar trim. Siliconed the hole and put the rail back on and it was that easy. Took about 2 to 3 hours total. If you do this then make sure you put a 2x4 under the cross rail when you drill for light mounting before you drill so you dont overdrill into the roof.

I was thinking about doing this too, but what about low trees and stuff, is the roof rack strong enough?

you dont happen to have pictures?

I have'nt had any problems yet. If it does get ripped off then I'll get another one from the jy for $10. The lights are $20 per pair BAJAs from Wal mart. Cheap and work very well. If you rip one off then its not a biggie. Your only out $10 per light.

Can you take pictures of how u did your wirring and where u put the switch for the light?
