I found a lot of really cheap ones on dhgate.com but ended up going with a double row 40" led spot/flood combo from amazon

Fatmat is a lot of cheaper and people seem pretty happy with it. If I could have obtained a sample of it, I might have bought it instead of the Stinger. The Stinger product is excellent though.
Also, it took me 20 hours or so to do the install. I could have saved some time by not putting aluminum tape over the exposed edges or stuffing this crap into the insides of the doors. Basically, the detail work added a lot of time.

Three boxes of Stinger Roadkill at 36 Sq Feet each will take care of the roof, floor, doors, and hatch. Use scraps for the rear fender wells or a sheet or two from a fourth box. I'm going to use the leftovers from my fourth box to do the hood.

Now I think I will focus on getting the jeep nicer while my axles get put together, I ordered my chromoly shafts today but I still need new hubs, brakes, alloy axle tube seals, and my steering.
