Need some mounting idea's for some lights
I bought me 4 lights from walmart. ther 5.75 by like 3 inches. I have 4 of them. But my xj Is a 2000 model. and my roof racks don't span the entire roof. i tried scooting them forward. but the holes won't line up. So i need some ideas on How i can mount the lights. what i should use or anything. If i should bolt them straight into the roof. or if i should fabricate some kind of light bar.

Maybe you could pick up an aftermarket rack, or a different OEM rack to suit your purposes. I don't know what kind of rack you need, but a safari type rack might work?

That's what I was aiming for. I've been looking at Cargo/Safari racks. and the size's but they don't allow enough room for my moon roof open fully. So I brain stormed. This weekend I'm going to home depot. buying conduit steal and rebar and going to fabricate one.
