Be careful about where you mount things on your rig. I had a buddy mount lights there on his XJ and got himself into a bunch of willows down in a creek bed and wound up tearing the lights off causing alot of damage. Your best bet is to mount them always to a bumber or rack system not the body itself. CJ's and TJ's are built stronger in that area you talk about including the mount brackets designed. I know it looks cool but you have to think about worse case situations you can get yourself in. Just a thought

I second the above statement. I would love to have lights like that but the rocks and trees around here would rip the off in a one trip.

A breakaway mount would let you mount them just about anywhere without having to worry about ripping up the body. Both the old style and new style side mirrors either breakaway or fold. They are also rock steady, which is great for lights as well as mirrors.

Another idea would be to mount them close to the centerline of the Jeep at the base of the windshield. That should keep them out of harms way.
