I'll zip tie it on tonight and experiment in different locations but wondering what others consider the ideal location is for a front-facing, combo spot/flood light bar........thx!

If you put it on the roof and it lights up the hood it will negatively effect you night vision. It will get less mud on the roof.
I don't have extra lights on the BJ73 yet. I know about the reflection from piloting boats that had lights on the roofs that also lit up the foredeck. Not good. I will put a light bar on the front brush guard and a couple small LED floods at a 45 degree side angle on the roof rack and perhaps 1 wired into the backup light.

I'm sold - down low it is.....thx for the feedback!
We have a 20” Rigid spot/flood combo in the front bumper. It’s wired to the OEM high-beam switch. It’s amazing!
The three pods on the roof are spots. They’re great for slower trail driving, not that great as high beams on the road.
I highly recommend ditch lights or roof mounted light at a 45-60deg out. We use those more than any other.
