I think it looks good, plus you made it so it is unique. I eventually want to add some lights to the cross bars I made as well. Keep up the good work.

you have to ask yourself
1) do I like the looks of it? If yes then theyre OK
2) do they light up the area in front of your Liberty? If yes then theyre OK
3) who else matters? :wink:

Just kidding around :lol:

I think they look great, looks like they are on there good, and should shine out a ways down the highway. You can always hide your wires better if ya want but other wise I say run them and smile everytime you have them on cause they didnt cost 300/ 400 bucks :lol:

Believe it or not I agree with tom.

If you like it and it works for you, enough said.

I would say that there a 101 uses for electrical tape, and that ain't one. I would do some research on other more weather tight ways of covering your connections. You WILL be sorry in the future with the way it look like you have it now.

i looks goo, I ran something like that for a while until I made my own roof rack w/ light tabs, and U-bolts work real good to hold it onto the rails :wink:

Looks great!

Instead of the tape, maybe you could pick up some plastic flexible conduit to run the wires in and run the wires through the metal post. That way they will be hidden and also more weather resistant.

I was thinking of doing something similar but wasn't sure how it would work with the sunroof, but now that I see one,I think I might give it a try too. Thanks for beating me to it and showing me what it will look like!

The lights don't shine down through the sunroof? I don't have one so no worries for me but that really looks like they would. Otherwise, it looks great, imo.

Just out of curiosity: does it howl at freeway speeds?

I like it.

they do but on the inside there is a sliding plate that blocks out the sun. so i close it and it blocks out the light

How do you have it powered? How much does it take to run those lights?

the lights came in a box of 2 and in each box there was a light switch it looks like 14 gauge wire. im going to replace the wire to 12 gauge the wire get a little to hot. i run the wire to my battery and then through my firewall. the ground wire i run to my frame. and there is alot of power drawn for the lights the battery went dead on me in about 2 hours lol

Nice job on the roof but I'm interested in the grill mounting. I really don't want to drill holes in my bumper but I have some nice off road lights I got as a gift.

Any suggestions or links to bumper lights for a 2007 would be appeciated.

yea i do it was what i was going to do to put mine on. it might look taky get 2 L shape brackits with double side sticky tape and mount it to the part of the bumper that is raised. then get a long piece of meal and bind it over the L brackits and screw it in into the L bracket ( do it on both sides)screw it in before you stick the L bracket on the bumper. then that will make a small raise so u wont have to screw into the plastic. do u understand all that lol.

Isnt all tape sticky??

L brackets? Have to check that one out. Still not sure about the sticky tape.

lol thats the only thing i could think of w/o screws. the tape will be wegded between the L brackit and the bumper you will never see it. it just to hold the brackit in place the
