Light Bar

Does anyone know where i can get a light bar with lights preferably? And also how much do light bars usually run? Taxes are coming in and after i get new glasses im gonna try to get some stuff for the bronco. Im looking at either getting a brushgaurd with lights, or a light bar with lights. Any suggestions and prices would be nice.

Thanks :fire

Seen light bars that mount to your rain gutters, but don't know how good those are, pretty cheap at Pep Boys

I have a light bar that I always thought about putting on my bronco, it looks loke the police red and blue light bar, but it's all yellow. I got it off a friend that hauled wide loads. I think I might still put it on.

i'm concerned about having glare if i put lights on teh roof. i really would like to fab a bumper for my truck and have 4 piaa halogens up there, that would light up everything if anyone has a better idea on lighting, let me know.

PIAA are freakin expensive... I would go with Daylighters. ALOT cheeper and I really like them. I dont have any, but my buddies Wrangler has quite a few on there and they work wonders.

Just my $0.02...

big, look in my user gallery, i've got a light bar on nit holding 5 140watt 8" pro comp's. i got my light bar thru a company my dad worked work building police cars. i can't remember the maker right off hand but it was one of the big add-on aftermarket companies. when i flip my switch i can light up a football field. they don't add any glare. If i had to do it over again i'd still go with the pro comp's. but i'd use 3 of the 140watts and 2 of the flood lights. right now i get a good field of view on the dark trails but just some void spots about 30 or so foot out due to all 5 of mine being spots, where the floods will fill the voids in.

i've had my light bar about 2yrs now they've held up great beating thru trails with high brush and low limbs. even once where i had the driver side of my bronco burried up past my lights. the bar nor the lights messed up with em burried into the mud dragging while winching out.
