I also have a wrangler, but I use inside lights
When I went to mexico a few months back, they had a police jeep wrangler with a light bar on it. It was mounted right throught the soft top, right into the roll bar.
Without doing so my self, I would think the only nice and easy way to do it would be to either get a wilderness rack and put the light bar on top of that
Or get the "off road" light bar that mounts to the windshield frame, and place the warning lights instead of the off road lights.

i'd shop around for one of those a-pillar light bars. i don't remember where, but i saw one that was flat on top. not round like the one in the pic above. more like a mini radar-bridge on a boat. i think that would be your best bet.

I just took my light bar off my wrangler it mounted to the windshield frame. I know the manufacuer make the roto bar too the smae bar but mine did not rotate. I think the brand is "Carr"?
For grins i layed a light bar on the thing after I removed the off road lights. it would work well, might need a little spacing but the thing would have bolted right on.
the wiring was done missouri style out of the cowl and up the windshield on the drivers side

Re: jeep wrangler lightbar
The suggestion of using the off-road light bracket (kccjs268) worked well for me. I installed a Mini JetSonic on my old Wrangler using the OEM off-road light mount. The only down side is running the power cable. I clamped mine to the "rain gutter" of the windshield frame. I wish I had a picture, but the mini JetSonic looked real sexy on the off-road light bar.kneedrachen wrote:abyobne have any ideas/suggestions/experience with installing a lightbar (emergency, mnot off road lights) on a jeep wrangler soft-top?

Just the Mini Jet on the bar. As for the cable, I ran it through the tube of the bar, then through a 1/2" hole drilled next to the AM/FM antenna. Ok, so it was not the best, but it worked AND looked rather nice.kccjs268 wrote:do you still have any of the off road lights on the bar as well? it'll be like some major take down lights! lol
how did you get the cable inside the cab?
