Cool light bar! Is there anyway you can mount it on the roll bar? Weld on some tabs at the front corners to attach it to?

Another thought as well... you someday might run into that front bumper hanging up on rocks as it sticks out pretty far. A lot of these jeeps have been moving that back as it helps to keep from getting hung up on stuff... Just a thought.

Thanks Fumbles i appreciate all the feedback i can get...i will try to put the light on the roll is good idea.....
The problem whit the bumper is that i like a lot the "stock" look, no cutting fenders or something like that...i can sacrifice some performance to keep the look this way.

It would look very cool if you could open a pocket in the front bumper so that the light bar would sit flush inside of the bumper. I hope that makes sense, some times it's hard to verbalize an idea.

The skid plate is a brilliant idea, I'll post up a thread on how mine works out with a full plate. The only hick-up that I see might be the drive shaft angle over the edge of the skid plate.

Way to think outside the box marangua!
