This is my setup - http://imgur.com/a/NW4bW#FJYA4
Olympic Light bar. 4wp, $99 Will flip down 90deg if you need it to for garage entry or ?
3 Rigid Industries old style 4 LED dually setup, 6 total, 5 on the bar. $570 or so.
Add another $30 for wiring and a switch, shrink wrap, soldering etc.
I like having the individual lights so I can point them where I want them to go rather than the big one piece unit. LED is the way to go. This bar draws 5amps and about 75watts.

Like you I am interested in seeing light bars, thats why I clicked on this thread. I have spent tons hours using the search feature of 4 Jeep forums looking at light bars, lights, racks and other things. Even contacted MBRP to see if they are planning to add tabs to their light bar/front rack for the Rigid Ind led light cuz I may go with their roof rack. I just tend to call out ridiculous things, like Echo's lights. When cruising his favorite mall, or high school, and Echo runs over some kid with that obstructed windshield there will be some lawyer there to rip him a new one...
Yep, obstruction! BTW my Jeep has never seen a mall, thats more a back-east and a flatlander kind of thing. From Durango; Telluride, Black Bear, Ouray, Silverton, San Juans, and Moab is my backyard.... No Macys for hundreds of ...

[QUOTE=ECHO;2571719]So you get pwnd and you start in with the troll stuff. Funny, ununique and predictible. BTW I was critical of your light bar you started in with your 19 yr old "mall" mentality.

A pair of 7" HIDX lights put out 6000 lumens w/ 6.6 AMP draw & 2,500+ hours bulb life.
A 20" rigid bar puts out 8000 lumens w/ 5.9 AMP draw & 50,000+ hours of bulb life.
Rigid is 2000 lumens brighter, draws .7 AMPS less, & last twice as long.

Since when did kids start flying? Because the only way he won't see them is if they are in the air. Having those lights there are no worse than a windshield decal which a good percentage of forum members here have.

This is a very entertaining thread!
Echo, one question sir...
What brand is the light bar you are using? Unlike others here I do agree with your point of view. No pun intended.
I have a low clearance garage door opening, and your solution seems perfect! I love your interior shot, it perfectly shows that the lights only obstruct about the same amount of the rear view mirror.
