I was thinking about putting them in front the loop bar where it meets top of the bumper but I think once the driving lights - 7" spotties - are on itll look shit
I put mine on the A pillars....there are a ton of mounts around, check Ebay etc.
I angled mine about 20 degrees outwards, lets me see along the sides of bush tracks and around corners.....works great. I've got a pair LED spots and a combo LED lightbar on the front.....the cubes are purely for bush work, so I keep them covered "on road' with blacked out covers so I don't get any grief about them (they're not switched with the headlamps).

Thanks boys, that might be worth looking into then, moving up on the A-pillar.

I had seen them up there on many other JK's but never actually spoken to anyone regarding the use of them there

At about 131,000km, I replaced the front unit bearings with some Raybestos ones as one of them was failing.

Now at ~153,000km, both have enough movement that it was noted at last rego check and I've been getting some squealing fron the left side when on right curves. So today I put the old one that was still ok back on the left side. Let's see if it fixes the squeal at least...

Of note, i also put the carpets back in the front & rear, (took them out to dry after all the rain last month). I think it was quicker swapping the unit bearing than putting the carpets back in!
