Lightbar Suggestions?

Easy solution- trail armor (example link)
Medium solution- new nutserts and painted bolts as previously suggested
Hard solution- fill weld the holes, primer, paint

How about this… they even steer with you
In all seriousness, light bars are dumb. Get caught on branches, make ugly holes like you see, and just light up your hood. Do the option of a small one on the bumper if anything.

Honestly you could put in black bolts and that paint will bounce back with a good compound- Or you can just tape it off and do some bedliner for an accent-
The biggest problem with any kind of bracket close to the body is what you see- Pull your license plate holder off and look at the back of it if you don’t believe me. Nasty.
I think we still have the moratorium going through 2024 on regular light bars- @Jerry Bransford can correct me but I believe we had that stipulation when we renewed our charter.
OP
I have bought a Jeep with a rust-free frame but all of the aftermarket accessories (and there were quite a few) were nasty rusted. I'm taking them off and in some places I am lucky and other places no so lucky. Not keen on putting any more plates against the paint.

It should extend to a lot of things I won't mention here lol.
We did away with those at the 2021 Council of Light. Even Thomas Kincaid wouldn’t paint one of those.
That was the meeting where Boogieman was trying to get in Jerrys’ lap when Zorba got on the table and was dancing to a medley of Cher songs. Chris got a little upset about all that.

We weren’t invited either- we just showed up...That was the start of all the problems.

Well you could have at LEAST announced it so that I could have crashed it too!
Wait till we all go to this new restaurant the guys on the JK forum meet at - It’s called the Angry Bird Grill. We’re going to be giving wedgies.

I was always fond of the round overhead lights - but they are so 80's now. I still like them, but now they are generally mostly below the roof line. I did not pull that off - but it is flush with my roof platform - so it gives a similar look. Install is not done - so pretty sure I don't have pictures of it yet. Picture was the first road trip with the new platform - the aborted full stack Starship launch. @$%@%#$%, still want some Savvy Sliders.
