Default Stock Bumper Light Bar - Mopar vs MBRP

Any pros-cons to either of these? Making stock bumper into stubby, want to add one of these light bars. Thanks in advance

Did a search and found this thread


I recently picked up a Mopar Light bar via the Mopar bucks program and was wondering what people thought about it

I personally am not a big fan of the light bars at all, but if I had to pick one I think the MBRP looks better. JM2C

hey dude, nothing wrong with free stuff for your jeep no matter what brand it is!!

just personally i think mopar rebrands too many products and then jacks up the price ripping the consumer off.
i think its a very unethical business practice and will not support this by spending my money with mopar if i dont have to. thats why i vote for the other guy

but actually the mopar light bar does look good. you can fit 3 lights instead of 2 on the mopar, so that for me would be a plus. also, the smaller design i like better. unless your jeep is lifted pretty good and bigger tires, parts can be overbearing sometimes on the smaller lifts and tires, but if you are lifted higher with bigger tires then bigger parts look proportionate.

i agree. rugged ridge makes the exact same light bar as the MOPAR, only less expensive. unfortunately, i didn't figure this out until mine was already installed.

any way, here's what it will look like on your ride. install was really easy, only 2-3 hours for the bar and lights.

I like the fact that you can add 3 fogs compared to the norm of 2 ....Nice Pics Dcharge

BTW, what size fogs are those?
