I have absolutely no knowledge about this. My brother in law is looking to buy a 52" curved light bar for his 4x4 tahoe. If yall could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I run a grote brand 30" light behind my grill, they make a lot of lights u see on semis and trailers and that's what I work on so I got a massive discount when the rep showed up to show us new products it's just a spot light tho. If I could do it again I'd run a flood/spot combo in a rigid but for the price I got it at and how much it helps even being a spot is amazing especially since my high beam HIDs took a poop again :(

I can't speak to the white off road light bars in person, but this company I linked makes some killer emergency lights that a lot of local volunteer firemen run on their POV's, I would imagine that their white bars are just as nice.

here's the questions to ask when buying a roof mounted light bar.

Do you desert race? Y or N

Do you drive off road at high rates of speed, at night? Y or N

Do you use the vehicle to work offroad? Y or N

if answered yes to any of those questions, then there is a need for a roof mounted light bar. If no to them, then you don't need a noisy ass roof mounted light bar. He will ABSOLUTELY despise having it up there. Much safer and cleaner, to throw them behind the grill.

but pretty much, it's rigid. Well, KC C series are pretty nice too. 1A Auto is claiming on the F150 forum to have some pretty nice bars at good prices...

Ebay and amazon bars are pretty hit and miss. All the ones I've seen are pretty bright, but tend to leak, or drop LED's randomly.

He works on oil rigs so off roading yes. I'm not sure about putting it on the roof I think he wants it on the front bumper

unless you race or depend on a lightbar for your job rigid is way to expensive

DO NOT buy amazon or ebay bars.

I don't doubt rigid quality but I never gave a budget sorry about that. I looked into the one you suggested and it looks promising. Thanks
