Best light bar for XJ under $150?

So I am currently looking to add a light bar to my Jeep either on the roof rack or bolted above the front windshield and I am struggling with finding the right one on Amazon. I do not want to waist $200 on a name brand light bar when the only difference from an off-brand is the name itself...

So, any suggestions of light bars (sizes as well either a 50 or 40")?

Thanks and have a merry Christmas!

Your profile says you did a v8 swap. How much time did you have invested in that? Something I could see myself doing one day.

As far as the lightbar, I would get LED spots/floods instead and put them on the bumper or A pillar.

Also, by saying LED spots do you mean the cube LED's? I am going to buy those as well but I am buying a light bar as well, just need help with what type of bar to buy and the best size for XJ.

Stick around, we'll get you knowledgeable!

This forum is a great resource with many experienced folks. Sounds like you can take a little ribbing, that's good, but the bottom line here is you learned something about your jeep!

Anyways, any light-bar suggestions? Tons of 50"rs on Amazon under $150 but mixed reviews. Also, should I mount it with the two right and left mounts that are screwed in underneath the top door jams or should I mount it to my roof rack? I am planning on buying a 20"or 30" for the front bumper and throwing out the old KC's.
