Looking at the mbrp light bar for the front bumper. Anyone have one and how do you like it as far as fit and so forth. If you have a pic feel free to post

I've had it for just over a year. Fit is fine. Finish is still looking perfect. I mounted cheap hellas on it. I turned my stock bumper into a mid width at the same time and like the look. I'm not real geared up about getting a heavy bumper, so this combo will do for now. The bar itself is quite sturdy. I wouldn't go pushing a tree over with it, but it'll take decent hits without bending.

The install is easy. Just plan out your wiring first. One tip is to get some quick release clips (can't remember the real name) for your wiring. This is because to replace a headlight, the bar must come off. Being able to disconnect your lights right at the bar is a big help.

Only reason to not install them upside down would be the enhanced ability for water to get in there. I haven't had any issues. I rarely use them though. I've been meaning to mod the covers by notching them in order to get them right side up and painting them flat black. Just haven't done it yet. Heck, my switch is still hanging loose in the cab. It's on my list, just not very high. It's golf season and 100* out every day so Jeep wrenching is on the back burner.

I think I paid $150 for the bar from Northridge and something like $50 for the hellas at Wally World. If you want to do it right, get better lights. The Hellas are kind of weak.
