I had one of these bars on my old YJ. Same four pound limit but I had four lights too, they were heavy, never had a problem. What are your thoughts so far? I was thinking about going this route too. Any problems you think with putting more weight up there than they recommend now that you have them?

Looks nice.

Well guys, I couldn't find any thing in the instructions on weight limits, so I see why you couldn't add more lights if you wanted to. It is sturdy enough. As far as a snorkel goes I believe you use the same windshield bolts so there might be a problem. I'm not sure, but if their's a will their's a way. One down side of a light bar set-up is, I did notice a drop in gas mileage...about 1 to 2 mpg.

That was my concern too, and I doubt that it will work. If you made up a bracket to space the snorkel further away from the body than it's designed for (which could stress the plastic potentially cause it to crack?), it would possibly work with the Ram-Air, but not with the Pre-Filter (I run both).
Love the Carr Rota though (waited forever for it to come out for the JK, but then I installed the snorkel).
