Check out this light bar I made on top of the bumper I made.
I literally took a reciprocating saw to an old tread mill.
I believe it's 2" by 4" rectangle steel. Plenty sturdy.
I agree with others don't mount to the stock system. I would buy/build brackets that attach to your rain gutters which hold up the light bar.
Just google "jeep cherokee rain gutter roof rack" maybe this will give you ideas

Made one out of a bathroom safety handle. Cost about 50 bucks for th hardware and silicone. Looks decent. Its stainless steel so it ain't gonna rust.
