Default Lights on XHD Bumper??

I wanted to see what kind of light setups people have installed on their Rugged Ridge XHD bumpers. I'm leaning towards doing an 8" rigid industries light bar somewhere.

Pics or ideas welcomed!!

are the holes in your bumper the same size as the factory fog lights?

if they are you can most likely use the BDF bracket and put some rigid dually 1's or 2's into those holes

They are, but they won't come out without taking off the bumper. (which is really annoying). I am planning to also do those brackets eventually though. Thanks

removing the fog lights from the factory bumper nearly required carnival side show flexibility!

nice looking jeeps guys/gals

mine is still 99% stock

been focusing on lighting first and then i'm putting a set of evo skid plates underneath and then onto better tires

Not a bad idea, just not sure if it would look right or fit being so close to the loop.

Is there anything wrong with mounting it to my roller fairlead?

I have the XHD bumper and Im going to install a 10" Rigid light bar on the hoop. Ive discovered the Rugged Ridge used a very large diameter tubing when making the hoop, its about 2.36 inches in diameter. Since the hoop is a larger than normal diameter I've found it difficult to locate the correct mounting clamps that will fit. Luckily one of the sponsored vendors ,Alternative Offroad, carries the correct mounting clamps tofit the hoop.Ill take some pictures when i mount my light this week.
