I like the set up in the first pic, less the chrome light covers. Who is the manufacturer?

It's hard to see in the pic, but if you Google "Real Wheels Corporation," you'll find a weblink. Their stuff is kind of pricey, but what isn't these days?

I like the second one better. lower profile, I'd knock those chromies off the first one crawling the parking garages at the mall.



seriously, i would whack them on my garage door. I never park in there unless i am working on it on like a rainy day or something. But i do need to use it, and unless that could be extremely easily rotated down, it would be a nuisance to me. That's why i prefer the lower profile ones like the second one, or the "who needs to be a millionaire" one from Delta.

I like them both but would really like to see a version of the 2nd one and the bar either be a little above the windshield or have a second bar go up that could be used for over head carrying. (i.e. lumber, canoe, etc...) with a reciever hitch T setup in the rear.

The maker of the first is real wheels corp as someone stated. As for the second bar for overhead carrying, Carr industries has started making the Rotabar for the JK. It has 5 light tabs and when you want the lights out of the way, rotate the bar forward and the lights point down. Bar is still present over the windshield.

I've sent them a couple of e-mails about this light bar and have not gotten any response back!
