On my 2000 I have the Tuff Stuff Performance 40" Single Row Off Road Led Light Bar Spot/Flood Combo
Amazon.com: Tuff Stuff Performance 40" Single Row Off Road Led Light Bar Spot/Flood Combo Beam- 5W Led 10,800 Lumen BEWARE: ALL OTHER RESELLERS ARE SELLING LOWER GRADE LIGHTS AND FOOLING YOU THEY ARE NOT TUFFSTUFF - BEWARE (((GOOD LUCK WITH THE WARRANTY))): Automotive Amazon.com: Tuff Stuff Performance 40" Single Row Off Road Led Light Bar Spot/Flood Combo Beam- 5W Led 10,800 Lumen BEWARE: ALL OTHER RESELLERS ARE SELLING LOWER GRADE LIGHTS AND FOOLING YOU THEY ARE NOT TUFFSTUFF - BEWARE (((GOOD LUCK WITH THE WARRANTY))): Automotive

Or you can go this kind.. I was sick of water getting in freezing and cracking, bulbs going black. I went through two cheap eBay ones before I went with Tuff stuff. Some ppl have good luck with the fleabay one, but mine didn't with the harsh weather here Alaska.

I had a 21" when I had my stock bumper and now I have a 32" curved in my roof rack. Both from eyourlife. I've had 3 from he Amazon seller eyourlife, they're cheap and I've never gotten water in them. Light bar-image-2922068386.jpg Mine is on the left. That's with the 32" in the roof rack

This was the 21" on the bumper. For between the bumper caps well.

I put one 21" on the rear of mine hooked up with the reverse lights to help see through the tint backing up to my trailer at night.

I've got a Olympus Offroad 42" with gutter mounts I'm selling right now. While not the cheapest bar, it is ip68, and can personally attest to the better, solid, build quality than the cheaper Chinese lights. My brother has one of the cheaper ones, and this bar is far superior. His like mentioned gets water in it, rattles all over, turning a different color, just c**p.

I'd sell separately too if anyone was interested.

I've read plenty of reviews on those cheap amazon ones and while most of the reviews are good, I've seen some that have bad reviews so be careful if you buy a cheap one
