I wanted to get a 40 inch light bar for my 2000 cherokee.. is there a certain brand I should look for?

 

Depends do you want a budget brand or the highest price one made?

 

budget brand lights http://www.inspired-engineering.com/default.asp and http://olympusoffroad.3dcartstores.com/ both have a roof mount for a 50 inch.for a 40 inch mount http://www.farmerjohnsonoffroad.com/ and http://hooliganoffroad.com/ have options

Got my 50" from LED Warehouse for $200. Was a great deal.

 

If that thing is stable at 36v, it should last forever at 12v... at least longer than any XJ.

 

There are cheap ones that may or may not last on eBay and amazon or you can go with a quality bar with warranty from serious or other companies.

 

Because $800 for a 40" light bar is fracking ridiculous. LEDWarehouse offers warranties at their prices and I've dealt with them with questions and support; great people and great support:

I was at a local 4wheel parts and they had a 50 inch for $2000. I said that's crazy

 

You get what you pay for. Those $200 light bars give you the look at an affordable price but I bet they won't last like they should on an offroad rig that's exposed to the elements a lot not just mall crawling around town. I had an amazon one and it went about a month before water leaked into the lense during monsoon season.

 

Plus the more expensive ones are brighter

 

The cheaper ones are made of cheaper parts so they are not as bright and are rated ip67,When it comes to a ip rating ip67 is water resistance which can fog up.The good ones are ip68 which is water proof.
