Default LED Light Bars on Rugged Ridge Light Bar ??

Hi everyone,

I am interested in the windshield mounted RR light bar, has anyone mounted smaller LED bars to it instead of the typical round lights?

My hope is to put one/two in the center, and have one smaller light bar on each side to throw light to the sides.


I've attached a picture of what I am trying to go for, picture shows the lights on a roof rack though instead of a light bar.

I have the RR light bar and have been thinking about it also. However, in my case I've been considering a 40 or 50in LED bar but the prices are still insane. The RR light bar also doubles as a good bush and branches protector for the A pillars and top f the windshield on the trails and I'm studying how I can use it to carry my kayak so not in a hurry to fit lights there.

I also have the RR light bar. It saved my jeep when a tree feel on it. I was going to put a 50" ridged bar on the top but 1500 bucks, I don't want it that much.

I think the OR-Fab JK light bar would probably better fit your needs for what you're looking to do. It's a bit more versatile in the combination of lights you can run.



Make in 'Murica too

I thought about it briefly but the two things that turned me off were the price and the fact it all shines forward. With three bars, I can have one shoot forward and two to the sides a bit.

That looks really good, a bit more bad ass too Besides OR-Fab's site I cant find any information on it or anyone with it.

Is there any flex along the top? For where it connects to the A pillars, does it go further down then what is shown in the picture? And do you have any ideas what the snorkel compatibility is with it?

I'm not sure how much turn you'd have with LED's up top, but I've thought about installing Dually's on the windshield but aim them off to the side.
