while you are waiting for responses you can browse the build chart to see who has lights. I know the chart isn't complete yet but it still might give you some ideas.

Since you're asking that question, not trying to be a jerk, but are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?

Yes, those would be able to be adapted to a TB. Wiring is pretty much universal because nothing is 'plug and play'. You will need to do all of your own wiring, so make sure you are ready for that challenge.

Did a quick search, and they sell plug and play jeep kits commonly.. But the lights can be purchased seperate

I've seen plug and play headlight conversions, but never plug and play aux lights.

So I was looking into LED lightbars for the TB and had decided on the products from Rigid Industries. Has anyone used/seen these in person? I have seen many pictures and really like what I have seen so far. Also the state troopers use them here I got him to turn his on and they were quit nice but it was day time so I didn't get the full effect. Also while looking into Rigid Industries lights I came accross www.anzousa.com they make whay seems to be a copy of Rigids lights but without the cost, any opinions? Im pretty sold on the rigid products as I would rather have quality products that have good reviews and I know won't let me down.

In another thread here I mentioned that I have seen the Rigid Dually's on a guys JK as windshield lights. Super bright and don't draw much since they are LED. Did a night run with him and they lit up the trail very well.

Rigid Dually's

I'd definitely get some of their products for sure, but besides the Dually's the other products are pretty pricey. But I'm sure they are worth the $$.

I definitely like the LED bars from Rigid. Haven't seen them in person, but have seen a few good videos of the rigid guys beating them up (taking a baseball bat to them, dragging them behind a vehicle, etc). The TIV has them on their front end as their primary driving light.

I have a hard time getting past their expense, though. I would like to get 4 little LED lights for the 4 corners of the truck as camp floods. But they are pretty expensive. I think we're just so used to cheapola products from china, that the cost of a quality item made in the USA is a little unexpected.

Yeah I am more the type that will spend big on afew items that will last forever then spend less and replace every couple of years. From what I can gather 4 dully's up front will be far more then I will ever need, and I want to put 2 of the diffusers in the back up top so they can be used as second backup lights or camp/fishing lightings.

I was actually looking at putting 2-floods and 2-spots up front and a pair of floods in the rear. The duallys would keep it fairly small.
