Light bar options for stock front bumper

[NodrogRide]

Hey all! I'm fairly new to adding mods to my vehicle; always had Jeep's but never added to them. I'd like to put a light bar/grill protector on my front bumper, but not really interested in upgrading my stock bumper. Was looking at a WARN product but it looks like it may only fit Rubis, not the Willy. I appreciate any recommendations!

I don't believe there's a hoop/overrider type bar available. I've looked at these several times but haven't pulled the trigger yet:

2nd the quadratec light mounts. They have a ton of flexibility so you can use all different kinds of lights.

All of my lights are mounted using existing bolts on the OEM bumper. Of course, this only works if you have the steel bumper.

I couldn't find one for the plastic bumper so I built my own.
(I know... doesn't help you very much.)

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Looks great.

How does it mount?

Drilled 3 holes thru the plastic bumper. 2 for the brackets, 1 for the power cable, super easy. I used 2 large fender washers on the underside of the bumper, for extra support.
Took about an hour. Very sturdy.??

Happy with it? Link? I'm a bit gun shy about buying cheap stuff, but by the same token sometimes cheap is good enough. Especially when the alternative is 10x the price.

So, do the people in the next county complain about how bright your lights are? Your set up is great. Can you please provide some close up photos of how the lights are mounted on top of the bumper? I assume you're running the bumper top lights separately (2 switches)?

They are Baja Designs lights mounted with the manufacturer-supplied brackets. Each light is mounted to a single existing bolt on the steel bumper. The LP6 lights are wired to a 40-amp switch and the smaller XL-R Racer Edition spots to a 15-amp switch...both in the OEM Auxiliary Switch Bank.

Rugged ridge for the jk fits with some slight mods. Easy install don’t have to take the bumper off just drill on extra hole in the mounting brackets.
