Go on Amazon and read through some reviews. I got my 20" curved bar with harness, relay and switch for like $120. Decent output for a flood/spot combo and not being a name brand.

It took me buying 3 20" bars to finally find one that doesn't leak or have LEDs burn out in 2-3 weeks.

EYOURLIFE

Bought mine off Amazon and had it powder coated silver to match my truck.

Problem that I have seen with many cheap bars is the lens yellows fairly quickly......

20" bars are on amazon for $40 or so. Another $20 for a relay harness. Don't kid yourselves, all the cheap ones on amazon are made by the same factory. I've had 4 of them and never had issues with moisture/diodes not illuminating.

Have facts backing that statement?

I can tell you all 3 of the ones I bought are different internally and externally. And I say that not just because of the look of the exterior of the bar either. The design of the led circuit boards, design of the gaskets, size of reflectors, actually length of the LED circuit boards, type of screws holding everything together, basically EVERYTHING was different internally between the 3 bars and none of the parts were interchangeable between each other.

I purchased mine from Auto zone for about $70.00, they are made by blazer. I also bought the wiring harness at O'REILLY's for $20.00 which made the install quick and painless. I have the front camera so a bull bar was out of the question according to the dealership so I fab my own bar on front. Not everyone's cup of tea but I like it. It also looks better with the leds on the sides now

Got a 20" Amazon bar for $50 and made sure the lens was sealed shut. Have had it on the front of the Jeep for over a year now, including an Alaskan winter, 7 days of rain driving Ak->Ca, and 6 months in California so far. No issues.

Beautiful truck, but please...PLEASE get rid of that Pep Boys windshield sticker. It's horrific.
