I went by Harbor Freight today and bought a 42" Road Shock LED Light Bar. This Light Bar has good reviews, from what I can tell. My plan is to install it on the front of the Fortress Roof out in front of the Windshield. I will bolt the Light Bar to the Roof, then drill a hole in the roof, and install a Rubber Grommet to run the wiring through to get the wiring on the under side of the roof. My plan is to run the wiring back from the Switch/Relay to the B-Pillar through my PVC Conduit that I have installed under the drivers door opening for my other wires going to the back. I will then route the wiring up the B-Pillar Drivers side Vertical Roll Bar, then route the wiring forward along the Horizontal Roll Bar to the Windshield area. I will drill a hole in the Windshield to Roof Filler Plate, and connect the Switch Wiring to the Light Bar Wiring.
I have a new Rocker Switch Pro Switch and Back Lit Cover on hand, and ready to go. I also have a new 5 Pin Relay with the Wiring Harness for the Relay. All of my Rocker Switch Pro Switch's have a Top "Back Light" that comes on with the Ignition. This illuminates the Symbols and Wording on the Switch's so that you can easily identify what each Switch is for in low light/at night. I have Switch's for the Interior Lights, Rear Flood Lights, Front Light Bar, and the Two Speed Wiper Switch. When one of the Switch's is activated a light comes on on the bottom of the switch that light up an oval area so that you know the switch is activated. This is mainly handy in daylight letting you know a switch is on.
I have Harbor Freight Rock Lights for Interior Lighting. One mounted on the B-Pillar and the second under the dash on the passenger side.
I have 3 each of the Road Shock 6 LED Flood Lights on the back of the Roof for Rear Work Lights, and to see when backing up at night. One centered on the back of the roof, doing a great job lighting up my Spare Tire and the Bed, and the other two are outboard on the roof lighting up the area behind the Roxor. NOTE: I did not have the Spare Tire Mount when I installed the first Rear Light in the Center almost two years ago. Having three on the back of the roof works out fine. I have the center one pointed down a little more to light the bed, and the outboard ones are both angled out a little, lighting up a larger area behind the vehicle. So far ALL of the Harbor Freight LED Lighting has been 100% trouble free. The Rock Lights work very well for interior lighting. The 6 LED Flood Lights likewise have worked out great for rear lighting. Per the reviews that I have read, I am sure that the 42" LED Light Bar will also work out well.
FYI I have the Fortress Roof made for the Rear Angled Roll Bar that extend to the back of the bed. This Roof extends back about 10 Inches behind the B-Pillar, and angles down. This works out very well for mounting the rear lighting. Bad Hunter, a member here picked up a Hard Cab a couple years ago, and I bought his Fortress Roof and Windshield that he no longer needed. If ordering new I am 100% sure that I would not have bought the roof for the Rear Angled ROPS. I ended up lucking out getting this roof. It has worked out very well for my rear lighting as well as my Hard Cab Rear Bulkhead. With the YJ Jeep Windshield the front of the roof extend forward of the windshield and angles down, this likewise works out well for the Front Light Bar installation. Having both the Front and Rear Light Bars mounted on angled down areas of the roof keeps them away from limbs a little better avoiding most damage. I am glad that I ended up with this particular Fortress Roof totally by accident.
I have Sportsman Club stuff to do Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I might find time to work on getting the Light Bar installed, and wired up Sunday Afternoon, "With a Little Luck".
