hey everyone, ive been saving up my money for my next mod and i am debating which one to buy first. a aev hood painted to match for like 1400 or the rigid industries SR led light bar for 1,150. just curious what yall would do next? heres how my jeep sits today

 

I would do the hood. It looks to sweet, although I guess the light bar would be more functional.

 

I would go PS windshield bracket with the light bar before the hood. There's some other essentials I'm needing before I could drop that much on a hood (new front axle and TC) lol.

 

Do you wheel in water? Do you wheel at night? Those are my main questions.

If you wheel in water then go with the hood. Makes adding the AEV snorkel a snap and you don't ruin your factory hood if you ever want to go back to stock. Also, the AEV hood "supposedly" cools your engine more so that is a real benefit if the claims are true.

If you happen to wheel a ton at night or live in a rural area with no traffic and no lights on the road then do the light bar. Off-road lights are more about looks than function UNLESS you are wheeling at night or can actually use them on the road. Most are illegal to turn on while street driving so I find the functionality to be rather usless in most cases. You already have a set of off-road lights so....

 

I would go AEV hood. then when the funds get back a bit convert your piaa to 55w hid. just as good as a light bar for 1/4 the cost.

 

I vote hood! There are much cheaper light options that you could do and accomplish both! I run duallly LEDs and LED rock lights. The total cost of the 4 LED's and the 6 rock lights was under $400.

 

I would do the hood. I want one so bad!!!!

 

I would go this route too

 

Both are completely useless in a real world application....but, having both, I have to say they kick ass!
I'd go with the 50" first, it's heading into winter .... So it'll be dark more than it will be hot

 

Led bar all day. That's a serious piece it looks like if means business. Where dd you get that price for and was that with the bracket ? I am also interested in buying the led bar maybe we can get a better price for 2
