Its a work in progress...I eliminated the overhangs and mounted it in place of my roof rack. I haven't wired them up yet and just installed it when I took the photos so I haven't adjusted the aim yet. Each light (Hella) has individual up & down adjustment.
In 7 years of ownership I've never used my roof racks for anything so it doesn't bother me to remove them for this mod. The roof baskets just aren't for me as I really don't want to keep a wheel/tire up there. My main concerns were:
1) Have an easily removable light bar that is securely mounted as opposed to a permanently mounted one like the Liberty Renegade. It is as easy to remove/install as the original roof rack other than it weighs more.
2) Pass for a factory, OEM installation (okay..to the unsuspecting public..lol).
3) Be out of the way for a future installation of a power moon (sun?) roof.
Until I get them working & adjust the beams I won't know for sure if there is any issues to work out but all in all I love the look...hope you guys do to!
I plan on mounting a full-size wheel/tire carrier (baja racing style) in place of the rear seat that is removable so I can switch back & forth when I need to carry passengers.
