Don't forget spoilers add about 500hp to any car. The higher the spoiler, the faster your car goes

I made a homebrew one out of one of the factory cross bars...

"modified" the roof rail caps so that they're removeable and used a 4-way flat trailer light kit to wire them up... grounded each light to the bar itself then ran a ground strap from the bar to the roof of the jeep - also detachable... light bar is completely removeable from the front of the rails - takes less than 5 minutes

couple pics - I can take some better ones if you like it
