I personally think that light bars are the most ridiculous thing in the world. The look stupid and 1985 to me. I've never liked them.
But I sure did change my mind when I saw Yogurt's!
That looks more like a baja style and useable vs the ones that stick up 6" over the rook and have dumb ass looking KCs on them.
Normal light bars belong in the 80s along with trucks with roll bars in the bed. You are not the Fallguy.

I know exactly what you mean. When I hear the word light bar I automatically think of Marty McFly's 1985 Toyota with Light bar and KC's with Yellow covers.

For a lot of people, a roof mounted or "top of the windscreen" mounted light bar is:
-More expensive
-Harder to wire cleanly
-More likely to be damaged by trees
-less likely to be legal to run on the road (check your local laws)
when compared with a bumper mount or bottom-of-the-windscreen mount.
If I run out of places on my front bumper and hinges to put lights, and I still need more light, I'll start looking into a top-of-the-windscreen kind of mount. I'll make sure that it's a low profile mount with tubing to protect the lights, and I'll probably only use it for rectangular or oval short-range floods.

my thoughts...
Considering the cost/use of light bar i chose this... I can use my bumper mounts and LED's on the road and if more is needed i can direct light where I need it from anywhere

Actually, as far as mounting lights on the RR XHD stubby bumper, I had 2 Warn 6" lights mounted on mine, using 2 of the outer holes on top, where the extra stuff, like stingers, and hoops go. I just used one of the included bolts that came with the bumper to put in those holes, and put it through Warns mounting tab, and it worked great. Now I have put the stinger on mine, so I had to take them off, and am debating whether to go the lower windshield hinge mounting route, or purchasing a set of the 2" tube mounts, that bolt around the tube of the stinger, and have a tab on them.
