Any recomendations for a attachment to mount lights up top? I want to have 2-4 on top so when I am going down camp and fire roads I can see.

have you done a suspension lift?
what I did was use a piece of PVC. which broke.
that was a long time ago, I was confused :D

I ask about the SL because when I removed my old shackles, I simply used the old brackets. They are very strong and they bolted on easily.
I simply bolted one end down tight to the tie down bolts on the roof rack, and then bolted the lights on

I took out the stock roof rack bold and put one in that was slightly longer. I was lucky and happened to have two bolts that worked. My wire job isnt too great looked but thats because Im redoing it when I take the roof rack off to paint it...this is only temporary. After I paint it Im going to drill a small hole in that plastic mount so that the wires come out of the back of the light housing and straight down through the rack.

I attached mine using stock air dam bolts. I think it turned out alright. Cheap and easy!
