Foldable Lightbar?
After lifting my Jeep up with a 6.5'' lift and a spacer in the front to compensate for the winch/bumper, I sit high. With my current roof rack on, I'm at about 6'3, with it off, I'm like 6'. Not too bad, but I live in a city and have to park in parking garages frequently. So since I don't really use my rack, I'm going to take it off. I want to have something on my roof though, so I was thinking of a lightbar. So I don't run into the same issue of clipping a ceiling, I was wondering if I can make a foldable one.
Has anyone made one? I'm assuming a low profile bar and then just any decently sized lights, since if I can fold them down without being over like 6'4, I'd be fine.

I saw that. That's what I'll probably end up with if I choose not to make one. It's nice.. just a little pricey. But looks solid.

Oh nice. Looks to be the exact model at the one I posted. This looks to be my only option if I were to buy one already made. Anyone have any recommendations on lights? Nothing too big, or expensive really. I want to drive around for awhile and see if I come close to clipping haha.

I just need to fix some nasty welds, grind, and paint it. I only spent about 15 bucks on hardware the rest was scrap. The lights are harbor freight but are 100 watt. Probably wont paint till warmer.
