Default Lightbar Over The Windshield?

Has anyone heard any info on a lightbar that goes over the windshield? I'm sick of seeing other jeeps around here crusing around with it, while I'm stuck with just my KC lights on my windshield and bumper.

I am thinking of the same thing I have seen 1 on actor/singer Nelly's JK but I can find a pic and I have dial-up. I have a tread on the second page now I think.

I've looked every where for a pic of Nellys Jeep, including on the rides magazine website but have been unsuccesful. But I did get to see the pic at a gas station that carried the magazine and the light bar was pretty sharp.

Well that sucks. I really don't want to have to make something, but I can't believe no aftermarket company as made one yet or at least has let out some news on R&D of one.

I saw the pic of that light bar in RIDES magazine, not sure what issue but it Had Nelly and his JK on the cover. If not one can seem to find it I'll look and post later tonight and if not I'll get the mag and scan it off of here. It was what you are looking for and has 5 KC's and no welding included...lol.


Here's the site with the light bar over windsheild, I love this JK but not big on the 24inch look though but all in all very sweet looking jeep...hope this helps a little.

the worrior light bar is really meant to be part of the roof rack. i've seen that setup in person and can say that its rather sturdy and won't be going anywheres... however... that is with the basket in place and everything is sort of working together to hold its self to the jeep. i do wonder how the front bar would hold in the wind with 4 lights on it.

there have been several light bars shown at these sema shows... the companies that make them either A)made them part of the roof rack or B)decided to not make them.

CARR who makes those rotating light bars for older jeeps says the current version of it out that will fit the 2007 model year. i have my doubts since the sites selling them say "1997-2007 V6 3.8L TJ"... that seems almost contridicting in that the 2007 was the first year to offer the 3.8 right? they'd probable work since you have to drill anyway to mount them. so if our window A pillers are the same distance apart as the TJ, then the'd work...


other then that...
