I bought a new light rack for my roof rack but Im not too sure I like how big it is... what do you all think.

Image

I think this rack is for the really big Rally/Trophy truck racing lights and not small KC lights :o I did the best I could to kind of even it out. I made some spacers to raise the two outer lights on the rack. I think it looks better this way. Should I go buy the big ones or should I cut the rack down to size? My brother says to just get rid of it :evil:

Here are some pics of our camping and fishing trip.

Image
My fincee says she caught one "this big!"

Image
I think it was more like this.

Image

Image

Image
Yes I know... I need a shirt but it was hot!!

and the parting shot.

I always like that kind of light bar/rack, and that's what I want for mine.

It is indeed too big for the KJ though.

I say get some slightly larger lights and cut it down a bit.

I've got a couple comments for you.

1.) I love your bumper, and your Jeep as a whole
2.) I do not like the lights on the bumper
3.) The lightbar is pretty sick, but those lights are too small for it

awesome jeep.... i'd say get rid of the light bar and move those 4 lights on the roof to infront of the roof basket. Then move the ones on the bumper lower and inside the stinger. Or get rid of the lights on the stinger and move those to the cowl by the windshield.

Lights themselves definitely need to be larger...

With the lights so far back from the windshield ( at least they look further back than the rene lightbar ) do you get much glare off the hood/windshield with the lights on ?



Lights on the stinger look a little outta place where they are currently, but I love that front bumper :twisted:

I like the whole jeep. As far as the rack, I'd say bring it down just a few inches and it would look better. Overall Kick @ $ $ jeep

you so high speed low drag you don't need signal lights right :P

Ultimately, you should do what you like best. But since you have asked for suggestions, I’ll give you my opinion. Overall, I like the fact that you’ve done something different. The light bar is a little too tall for what I like, so I would suggest cutting it down and see if you can make it foldable (if it already isn’t foldable). The Jeep looks great!

I like how you have the lights staggered, but I agree with the others that the rack looks too big. I love the bumper. Where did you get it?
