JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Keep or ditch the light bar?

I think it looks great And it is definitely useful in many situations I have encountered - Dark Swamps with mud at night are no place to be fumbling around looking for a place to winch off to. Mud is deep and way to many gators. However if you decide it just doesn't fit your style I'll be glad to give you an address to ship it to.

Better comparison, other option is a 20 inch single row using rough country mounts

This is what I did. It doesn't obstruct the view & provides excellent light. Running a 20" flood/spot combo.

I say keep it. Better to have it an not need it than need it and not have it. I have my 30" on bumper keeps light here I need it and no glare off hood. And doesn't bother people I'm with. Looks good on your rig. Color is great. Keep it.

I have to say I have a Hood LED light bar on a 10A hood and I like the look of Hood LED bars.

Most hoods are bare and boring. I am by no means a Mall crawler.

Here is the great part about LED light bars... If your not in the lead you can turn it off. Also you can let the person leading move ahead far enough... Just CB them let them know your hanging back so you can turn the Aux lights on to see better then turn them on. Then when your past the rock garden etc.... turn them off.

Here is a Pic of mine.. I'm in the Hood LED bar club.. I get complements all the time.

Takes a while to get used to it on the hood because you keep staring at it but after a while you don't even know its there.
