Recently purchased an 07 Liberty and I was wondering if the Renegade light bar, will fit all jeep libs or if it’s just the Renegades.

If you start looking make sure you get everything that goes with it, wiring, light stalk , etc makes installing so much easier . Plug and play that way
Some salvage yards just sell you the light bar and nothing else

yeah I'm gonna go look at the local yard, and see if i can find anything, that tag is steep the cheapest I have seen online was hovering right around 600 and it didn't seems legit. (Craigslist)

Post subject:  Re: Light Bar?

Everyone I have sold has been in the 450-550 range
so 600 and todays market is about it

Watch Craigslist though,
3 years ago grabbed a new one in the box for 122 shipped to me.
Owned it for 5 days :ROTFL:

I would kill to be able to do that, but here comes the bad news...... the Liberty is my wife's vehicle :cry: and I can only mod what she allows, but what she can’t see, she’ll never know about.

Another roof oriented question will this fit my 07?

Image

I have the OEM rails but was reading and saw that for this you had to have certain rails for this to mount, I.E.

From

http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/f196/jeep-c ... fit-30987/

Unfortunately no... You would have to replace your side rails with ones from an 05 sport (black) or 05 limited (silver/chrome) or any other years in the limited or sport models (02,03,04)... The renegade style on the 05's & 06's are too tall to use that basket on them... Hope this helps...

But as I have an 07 do I need to replace my rails, or should I just go with a different rack?

Post subject:  Re: Light Bar?

I'd go with a different rack
The Renegade rack setup was for looks only really
couldn't haul much at all, you can see from the picture only very light weight things

Also some aftermarket baskets fit fairly well,
others end up sitting 6-8 inches up in the air and look like ****.
Heres a rear view of different styles, 501's on the right in the first pic has a rack sitting on the stock rails , mines from Rock Lizard Fabrications

sort of side to see how they sit

See thats what I would like to do is get a 'good' rack and but some Kc's on the front and back of it, now if only i could talk her into it, but at least i get to mod it.

Rack I started out with

current one before lights installed, made by Rock Lizard Fabrications

I'm running Hellas that are more oval so they don't stick way up and become tree grabbers. Don't like a light that stands up above the rack, The lightbar on the maroon one could be in production after the first of the year

Off topic but it looks like you ran over somebody, where the dust is wiped away.

And another thing I want to do is "smoke", "blackout", "night shade" and 50 other nicknames, the turn signals, and the reflector on the front.

Not our Libby but one to show y’all

And what I want to night shade.

This is a bad chop shot but you get the idea, and i have been running blacked tailight on my focus for 2 years now and no one has said anything.

I used the VHT Niteshades on mine several years ago and still look good

Tom,
Are you designing the light bar to fit the different front bumpers for all model years and packages? Mine is an '06 Limited.
