Just out of curiosity where do you prefer to mount your lights and why?? All of my previous Jeeps had a roof light bar and/or bumper.

Bumper....

because when I had em on the windshield there was too much glare bouncing back at me from the edge of the lens, it got irritating. I'll probably end up putting some more there anyway, but for now just on the bumper is working out very nicely.

Had them just on the bumper on my old truck. The plan for the JK is bumper first, then windsheild mounts, then a custom windshield/roof rack with XMitters up top.

Windshield for me, although I have both bumper and windshield....

I use the windshield lights on the back roads here to reach out there a little farther....no glare issues w/Mopar brackets..

I have'em on both the windshield and bumper. After a few K, I'd just put them on the bumper if I were to do it all over again.

The bumper is my preferred location. My reason is I drive under a lot of pine trees in the mountains and would be afraid a roof mount would be torn off. The low location on the bumper might make the lights more useful during a storm so the snow/rain wouldn't reflect back into my eyes as much at night if I needed to use the lights.
