What do some of you prefer a full bar or a couple smaller one? Prefer up high or on bumper? Pics?

I honestly like the old school approach.. Not so big on the LEDs but to each their own.. Ive been looking into a light bar on my ZJ similar to the liberty renegade light bars...

I shall from doing the measurements the renegade type of light bar will fit between the cargo racks... Could put it there and still utilize the racks with no issue...

A wise Jeeper will wait to buy anything until Serious Saturday!

These will make your life a little easier...
Carr Light Bars



KC Daylighter




Truth be told, I've always liked the look of these on a square-bodied rig....
KC 69 Series


In the end it all comes down to personal preference. Lot's of folks (my self included) can and will go on and on about how great LED's are (and they are freakin' awesome!) but it's up to the guy or gal that's spending their hard earned cash to decide how best to spend it.

Do your research, compare features....and buy what you want, not what some faceless clown (yeah...that would be me as well) wants you to buy.

Are we talking about LED light bars, or light bars for mounting conventional lights? These get mixed up very easily.

If you're talking LED, I prefer the small ones. I have a 10" mounted on the front of my bumper. It's somewhat set towards the inside of the bull bar and is very protected this way.
