srk23 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 anyone on here install any type of off road exterior lighting on their journey? I'm planning on getting a short light bar to go around the lower grille area and possibly a longer one around 50 inches to be mounted above the windshield.

Lobitz68 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've seen someone with a light bar behind the grill on the lower fascia... you'd have to search around a little bit to find it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemus Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I have a lightbar installed behind the lower grill. It works and look (for me) perfect: the light flow is not much disturbed by the grill, and the bar is not exposed that allows to keep the look clean. I have a video and photos on this forum - just search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I wonder if it is possible for the roof light bar from the original Jeep Liberty to fit on the DJ? I did have a 2003 Liberty Renegade and as I recall, the lights were bright and came in handy, but I always got lousy gas mileage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemus Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 No clue. I'm not aware on how the bar your refer to looks like. I measured how much space I have and then ordered to bar that fit that space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) As I recall, it was contoured to fit the curvature of the roof, from the windshield back and had 4 round lights on it. It fit in front of the basket roof rack, but was separate from the rack. Some of the guys on the Nitro forum cut out their black roof rails and it was a perfect fit.

Totemus Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Mine is securely installed on the pegs supplied with the bar. I drilled wholes and bolt the pegs on the metal part behind the bumper. No zip ties, no glue - only rigid metal parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 As any one mount offroad hid lights on front of the bumper Not that I am aware of. If you want to be the first, post up some pictures. Personally I don't want to drill holes in the bumper to mount them, and there is only foam behind the front bumper, so nothing to mount to anyway.

carritt11 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just do a search for LED lightbars on eBay. There are tons to choose from. Let us know how it turns out. Actually I've been wanting to do this same mod, but with the light bar exposed in the lower grill area. Here you go. 24" LED light bar mounted in grille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemus Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 No issues with visibility. Yeah bar is close enough to the grill to provide a good output. Make sure the pegs are of the right height so the bar is not covered by the bumper. Good luck. PM if any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sferlindes Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I am thinking about doing the same exact thing but the only thing im not sure about is how to wire it in, How did you do that? Do you have a switch inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemus Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Thats what I'm proud about I have a remote, so no need to wire it down to the dash, just to the battery and that's it.

FrankRT Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I want to install the same light bar at the same location (behind the bottom grill) but I'm just worried that the snow will accumulate in the grill. Anyone had that issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
