You could mount lights on a roll bar, I have been wondering the same thing although I have never seen anyone do it mounted on top of the actual cab. That is not a bad price either.

Looks pretty cool. How hard is it to wire the lights to it?

I would go with the roll bar but i have a toolbox in the bed that I dnt want to get rid of.. Ive seen it done to alot of exploders and cherokees but I would like to see how it looks on a truck.. It would really be nice to see a pic on a 1st gen kota

doesnt look that bad IMO would look better if the cab wasnt extended and it was at the back of the cab. Here is the pic i saw

i havent seen one on a first gen before. wut i have seen though is people that use their toolbox will move it alittle towards the rear just enough to fit the front of the bars and then build it over the tool box to where it still opens.
