I was gonna get a light bar but i didnt see the point in getting one when i could do this...planning on getting a grill/brush guard soon. Its 2 100w long range lights and 2 55w driving lights. Only paid $100 for the set.

Get a Warn. I have one on my truck, and it looks good ant tough as hell. Either that or a Bull Bar. They are pricey, but they are tough as all hell.

As fro winches, go Warn or go home.
P.S. That truck cannot go off road. You don't need offroad lights.

Lights on top, 65 Watt pencil beams on the front bumper. With the high beam headlights, it's like daytime at night. The outer two lights on the rack are also pointed to the sides to illuminate anything hiding in the brush. Works awesome! Only paid 25 bucks for it too, off of Craigslist.

The only downside to that bar, is that it's low to the ground, and has the potential to get seriously messed up when you are wheeling. Personally, I wouldn't want my lights that low in case they get hammered.

I have had both grillguards and gull replacement bumpers from these people. There are all very solid. Totally welded....nothing bolted together here. A bit pricey but you pay for what you get.

Now those are some pretty good looking brush guards! Nice find mang.
These are what I was thinking of....the ARB Bull Bars. Tough as anything else, beefy, although a bit pricey.

It's a Ranger and I'd probably not ever take it off road.

Not to mention that trucks already have lights at that level. Making shit bright where it is already bright is bling mall-core shit. If you want to improve your performance in the dark, put the lights on top. ;)

Mine doesn't. I do want some kind of driving lights as my neighborhood doesn't have any streetlights.
