Roof Rack and Light Placement

[4.0B2]

So I am the owner of 4 procomp explorer 6 in(maybe 5 in?, spot light lenses) lights, 4 slimline ebay lights(bright as can be, fluted lenses), and two rectangular fog lights(will be mounted on rear).


that being said i need options to mount them, i will have two on the bumper for sure and the two rectangle ones on the rear. what are my other options. i will not use the light bar that mounts to the drip rail, not my style. thinking two on the bumper, two on the cowl, and 4 on the roof rack(but the roof is thin, and i don't wanna have to resupport it). what do yall guys think.

this is the roof rack

if i use the roof rack, what sizes are the ones on most b2's? mine is a 50x60.. way to huge

kolton's idea may come into play here once he gets pics up of the cowl mounted lights

just courious. why not use the light adapter kit that they have for it. it mounts to the rack?
i do like that rack. how did you mount it?

the roof rack aint mounted yet, i'm debating on if i wanna use it or not. i think i will like the look but the roof is so thin.
the supports on the roof have already been jacked and glued once... so... idk?
if i mount the roof rack i will mount the 4 slimlines up there and the 2 rectangle lights on the rear of the rack. i bought it all used together. i'm still debating on the rack..

The roof is also fairly high even with a 4in lift. I had a light bar up there when I first started and it got ripped off on a really tight trail. It was worth it though

If you make a roof rack, make sure its more of just a cradle and some guides that you can strap things down to, instead of a bucket that holds things in. I built one for a friends XJ. Ill get some pics for ya, he has 4 rectangle walmart lights on the front and 2 mini lights at the corners on the rear.

If you attach the rack to the drip rails, its really the way to go... I didn't like it either, but if you tear it off, its easier to replace

try to dig up some pics.. i'm actually working on a post about my b2 right now lol, i've had 5 ppl in a week to wanting to see more of mine so...

i just don't like the look of a drip rail mount. i understand what you are saying, but i'm gonna keep looking before i go that route
