    Jeep Liberty Light Bar

    So, I like the looks of the Jeep Liberty's light bar along the front edge of the roof and thought I'd see about getting one. They list for over $600 and the knock-off ones are really cheap and would be mostly decoration as the lights aren't bright. but I found one local at a scrapyard and the guy said he'd sell it to me for $280 or so. Sounded good so I went to take a look at it. It looked great and has good quality lights only one problem: It's about 47" wide and our roof is only a little over 42" between weatherstripping. So just an FYI for anyone else thinking the same thing it won't fit.

    There's no 'I' in denial.

    FWIW I think the knock-offs look just as good or better and are way cheaper than even your junkyard prospect. Plus the knock-offs come in the right size. Take a read:

    I wonder if you couldn't retrofit some Hella projectors or something to make it for real...

    For that price you should look into a 30" LED bar... 10800 Lumens.



    I really don't care for using a cargo basket and now have no clue what to do with the 30" LED bar. It's just sitting in the garage... collecting dust.

    Perhaps we should talk about this when we meet on Friday.

    The thing I really don't like about these is that they are open along the back. They look ok from the front.

    I bought the replica light bar on e-bay .It looked great and was the right size. It was made of hard plastic and was straight.It was not curved to fit the Vehicross roof. I looked like it may break if I forced it.Even if it did bend I thought the pressure would be too much strain on the double stick tape. I have seen them installed so someone knows how to install it. I would like to install mine if some one would explain how it was done.

    I have the single row, not the double, but I highly recommend the LED light bar.

    If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
