I don't personally have any light bars, but one looks ok. And if done right can be functional. Would be good for night trail runs and recovery.
I agree 100 percent , wrong era. My TJ has 5 6” Halogen KC lights with the yellow smiley face covers ..,man it gets noticed . Maybe people laugh . My wife says it looks “too happy”....but Jeeps are happy . It’s like a banjo...you can’t play a banjo and be depressed.
Incidentally, I had light go out , got a 7 dollar bulb at Walmart ...works great. Not sure why , but my stock (ish) bulbs seem to be great .
The YJ my boy just bought has an old school light bar. Looks like it belongs. I’m a little jealous. LOL
The JK and the JL have me appreciating the little YJ so much more than I ever did. Nice rig!
That is a nice ride! That's how a TJ is supposed to look with extra lights. KC all the way.

I don't know about you guys but, when I'm haulin ass down the trail in low range at 12 and 1/2 MPH, I need to see at least 3 miles ahead of me.
I never did like the light bars years ago(05-06) when I finally bought a new pickup.
They are cheap. They are chinese. I dislike both.
But I think what developed my extreme hatred of them and the people that run them, is when I got into collecting military trucks in 2014. Somebody would win a pristine, refurbed, never driven after rebuild M939 5 ton, then paint it black, and drill holes in the hood, mounting cheap assed light bars on the hood. Absolute abomination I say...….
So it disgusts me to see a LJR saharicon with a shitty led light bar on it..... Haveth you no style.....

It's refreshing to see that little YJ with accessories that are period correct. Cool!!
Light bars? 1 is too many.
More than enough to own a good set of headlights for many. But those living in darker parts of the earth, some pods/cubes are a tasteful addition. I run a set on the front bumper that are amber used as fog/ driving through trails where sand/dirt kicks up that the headlights do no good.

Thanks , it looks better now with stock flares...there’s a thread on it on readers rides..better pic. It’s a fun one.
Looks clean,The JK and the JL have me appreciating the little YJ so much more than I ever did. Nice rig!
I have a Carr light bar mount to go on my LJR, had one on my last LJR too. Been torn about what lights to put on it. The big round ones look period correct, but the output from the newer ones is nice. I also have JW Speaker headlights so all lights have to be LED.
I’ll agree most new light bars look odd on our Jeeps. I’ve actually considered the quadratec light bar with the marker lights. Unfortunately, the marker lights don’t turn off when you turn the light bar on, that seems dumb.
I live way out, a little more light in a few places where bambi and his friends hang out alongside the road would be nice. I don’t get off work until 2am usually so I drive home in the dark every night.

Yeah, that Champagne Gold is a pretty color. Depending on the light it’s anywhere from gold to tan/khaki to almost eggshell white.
