Disagree, I bought a 120$ Light bar, I'm sure it lights up in the dark, it'll get moisture in it, & oh, by the way, it'll be above my windshield & will surely get hit by tree branches (at the very least). Not expecting it to compete with a $600+ light bar, but for a 15 year old XJ, it'll perform better than my power windows do.....
I'll post up a review on my $120 light bar once I get it & install it.......
Honestly I don't want lights on my XJ, (want to spend $$$ on other up-grades before I spend money on lights) but after my buddy got one of those curved light bars from Amazon I was very impressed with it. I think it makes since to not spend $600 on something that is going take a beating on the trail.

I actually prefer to spend my money on the parts that take a beating because I know they can handle it. I've seen too many people break/bust/bend/shatter cheap light bars from the most mild stuff (including on-road).
My $300 30" bar took a direct impact into another Jeep (they stopped on an icy hill), and I just had to replace the mounting cradle.
I'm not lecturing anyone about wallet size. I'm just saying cheap isn't always the right answer, no matter how popular it is in the XJ crowd.
I was sick of those stupid cheap Amozon and Ebay LED bars freezing up on me and getting water in them..
My Tuff Stuff Performance 40" Single Row has been doing great in the wet soaking rain and it hasn't froze up on the inside during winter..
all those stupid cheap ones on Ebay/Amazon get water in them.. I tried a few.
But some of those Ebay/Amozon ones are bright as hell. Just keep the water out by trying to RTV it or something.
You get what you pay for,,when it come to the LED bars..just saying.
Finally did my rear quarter panel cut and fold. They were really rusty so I need to weld a patch onto the folds to make sure its sealed completely. Had help from Dukie564. And by help I mean he did all the work. In the words of Dukie: "Looks Mint".

Exactly. I had some friends selling cheap-*** light bars from Olympus (oops, name drop) and telling everyone they were even better than Rigid. Of course they were making money per sale as representatives.
They trash talked me for doing research and buying a quality light, but one of them had his *glass* lens shatter from a stone on the highway. It took out three LEDs with it, and Olympus wouldn't even warranty it for a rep.
Here I am, still loving my 30" that puts out as much light as most of the 50s I see
