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.

But you probably could make one though.

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.

Thanks Ray. That mount looks a bit high.. I'll look into some other types of mounts and keep that CARR one in mind.


Thanks guys

Oh nice! How's it coming along? Worth it? How much in it so far, excluding lights.

you got me thinking about this i kinda figured an easy way to do this i would have to explain it to you on saturday tho bc i have to give you the visual aspect of it lol.

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.
