You forgot about OME912s and Larger Tires
The Safari bar is only an aesthetic item, meant to have Lights installed. It provides little to no Impact resistance. So you might as well throw some lights on it. Also lights closer to the ground seem to be more usable than roof mounted ones.

Good point about using the Safari bar and it's the very best location to mount auxilary lights. Off-road lights are best installed as close to the ground level as possible (not high on a roof rack). This is because the low-mounted lights will cast a dark shadow over potholes and dips, and you can avoid them. When off-road lights are mounted high on a roof rack, they "fill in" the potholes and dips with light (bad news) and you don't know the pothole is there until you've already hit it (not good). So, keep the off-road lights mounted low on the Safari bar or bumper level and look for dark shadows that are cast over the terrain.You forgot about OME912s and Larger Tires

is there a specific light that will be good to run? is there clearance issues with the bar?

i was also gonna mention that running wires from the roof is very difficult and from the front is very easy...

just bought the stereo stuff, westin grill, and magnetbra.... hopefully she will be going under the paint gun too soon to get the cladding painted....

Why not put lights on both
Eventually that is what I'd like to do. Have the lights on the safari bar up front, and another set up high on the safari rack... now just for getting the money to buy it all..
