Picks would be great, I'm in the same boat. Def putting lights on the light bar on the front bumper, just not sure if I want to go 2 or 3 six inchers or 2 8inchers. Trying to see how balanced it looks with the headlights.
need some more light here...

Looking for options on how to add off road / driving lights to my Mopar winch/fog light bumper.
I know you can add the Mopar fogs out on the "wings", but I want to add them to the top of the hoop or right in front of the winch. I remember seeing someone that used some brackets to add them to the hoop, but can't find the pic at this time.
Did you buy brackets or tabs...or simply fab something your self?
Thanks!

Here is my Mopar offroad with PIAA 80 series xt pro lights. I used PIAa 2.5 inch brackets for the tube mounting.

Wanted to post this for anyone else looking to mount to the MOPAR bumper. I used the PIAA 2.5 brackets to mount PIAA 520 ATP's. Which by the way kick ass on the trail. They have a similar spread as the headlights (40 degrees) so it puts it in between driving and fogs. I wanted this for the bumper because I plan on mounting long distance lights near the windshield. With the MOPAR bumper you can actually fit three 6" lights on the bar which I may do down the line at some point. But before I do that I think I need to set up better rear lighting, check out what happened to my bumper.
This is what happens when you wheel at night around big rocks
Also, the lights draw a lot of power from the battery. I had my lights on for an hour to light up the side of a mountain so that we could target shoot. My battery died and I had to get jumped started. I did not think it would be a big deal because I have had the jeep in accessory only for hours before for listening to the radio out in the bush etc.
