I actually kinda dig the rack, but mount the lights lower and it would look sick and protect them alot better!

This.

Rack looks good, just drop the lights to the lower bar, and run the top bar above them to protect them. Definitely keep the rack though.

how is the bellcrank steering working out? do you notice any more flex than normal or lack of steering angle from it? what brand is it? I have to do the same thing to my TJ due to a lack of servo space. I'm really diggin this JK though!

Thanks and as far as flex goes im not sure if it gave it more, thats the only setup i have had on this rig. But the only thing stopping the flex is the springs bottom out so it has full flex and steering with the bell housing setup. and it came off a tamiya highlift kit.







And i cant flip the roof rack lights upside down so im thinking if putting it back under the knife to maybe drop them down a bit.

the rack looks kinda high, I agree with "cartronicshn" on just a light bar.

I cut up and used the corners of a square Tupperware container. Nice and rigid.
