    im not worried about them.

    yeah.. hence why I subbed to his build. lol I just dont know if I want to mess with it again. although.. some extra light up there would be nice. also saves me some coin if i go the non light bar route..

    thanks buddy. I have been using it a lot lately.. more now (after getting the RTT) than before. Use it every time we go camping. it is nice.. thats why I'm thinking a single row 4D bar up there would be perfect.. little more throw/concentration.. then the ditch lights will be for the wide angle.. and my HID fogs are plenty enough for ahead of me.. plus my HID headlights. then.. if and when I get a bumper.. I'll do DOT approved fogs, a single row amber bar in the bumper, and possibly two spots hanging from the hoop.

    In Turkey Creek he used that light bar reflection off the rock wall to light half the camp. It was nice for me cause I don't have lights and we pulled up at dark

    been using this technique on every trip.. lol

    You're probably right. Just gotta find the right bar. Maybe this will motivate me to finally redo all of my electrical too..

    my plan is to slowly gather all the parts needed (lighting, wiring, Switch Pro) and then do it all at once with one nice harness and make it clean.

    I vote hell yes for 40" on Prinsu! Once it's in the deflector it'll look even better. its ridiculous how much light mine puts out!

    That single row/ Pinsru is the 1st roof mounted light bar I've personally liked. Not to mention the extra storage up there

    :drool:

    I'd look hard at a 20-30" high end optic (BajaDesigns, etc.) bar out front. The rated output plus reduction in waste makes for some awesome performance in smaller packages.

    I would do an led bar in my front bumper but damn, that light bar costs about 4x what ALL of my lights put together cost :oops:

    Its been in the back of my mind for awhile now.

    nice.

    I just cant justify that much on a bar.. lol Im really interested in a 4D bar up there. makes more sense imo.. more spot.. less glare/wasted light.

    yeah.. they are not cheap.. hence my cheaper bar. lol

    actually really impressed with my current OKLED bar. no issues at all.. takes the abuse and extended periods of use.

    I'm still not entirely sold on the looks of the roof mounted bars, but the way the bars almost seem integrated into the prinsu is pretty clean. Too pricey for my blood though. I'm still trying to convince myself to throw a cheap 30" in the front bumper.

    No sir! They utilize the factory roof rack holes.

    I'll shoot ya a text.

    I wasnt a fan at first either.. But really wanted some extra light.. And imo, a decently priced roof bar is the best bang for your buck. It started to grow on me shortly after as well.

    It looks like the prinsu would block the glare a little on the windshield/hood too?
