Default 2012 Rubicon Light Bar

I have the 2012 Jeep Rubicon,
can anyone please tell me which vanquish or other light bar mounts low profile and like the one shown in the vanquish picture here?
RIGID INDUSTRIES LED LIGHTING
I believe it would be the 5 inch light bar from vanquish..

So much for trying to save a buck :(
I recently got an Integy one, Integy realistic T5 light bar review which I will probably NOT be using for anything other than a course marker in the back yard....

I think the Rubi looks good with the "too tall"
5 lamp Axial light bar/assembly affixed to it.
Plenty bright running 6/7.4v. and with a scale look to it.
Even brighter if you push 9v to them.

It only sticks up too high...
if you spend too much time on yer lid...
or are crawling into holes like a tunnel rat. Lol

I know the Axial 5 led light bar can be fitted lower
and somewhat forward on the window pillars...
Not sure how... but seen it done before.

The VP led light bars are great no doubt
tho' I am unable to help with your selection.
But if you run a higher voltage thru them
they are over the top.

My friends wire directly into their 3s (11.1v)
and it lights up as bright as a 1:1 car headlamp

Too bright to really be considered a scale look...
but they do bring the day's light to the night's dark.

I'm purdy happy with my Axial 5 led light bar
attached to my Honcho's rear cage.
Plenty bright... and have four other forward lights to boot
the light beams throw individual patterns when observed head on
and that looks more to scale for me. old skool maybe !?

Easy bolt-on mounting... simple to adjust...

The trailing supports mount to the cage tubing in a way...
so when a roll occurs or the LB needs to move, it does.
The clamps securing the rearward supports simply slide
forward and rearward on the cage's bar(s)...
They're fairly snug with a friction type tube clamp end...
To adjust... they will simply slide on the tubes a bit
with a simple movement from the hand.
I don't even need loosen the screw(s).
They stay in position until they get hammered.

The complete kit comes with extra support rods of various angles
and several different mounting plates.

Be wary... there is a similar, less expensive Axial LB kit for purchase...
but it does not include the optional/extra parts.

Good luck to you, with your decision $$$ Lol

I believe its the 6" light bar that is for across the rubicon on the top. I have it and the mounts, but no longer use a rubicon shell lol

I agree, i would go with the 6 inch.
I have the 5 inch bars and can't mount them with the poison spyder mounts.
