• Hard Anodized Billet Aluminum Construction — Built from mil-spec, hard anodized billet aluminum for maximum strength and corrosion resistance, holding up against harsh road salt, trail abuse, and the elements.
• Powder-Coated Finish — A durable textured black powder-coat finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance and an aggressive aesthetic that complements the Jeep's exterior.
• 50-Inch Light Bar Ready — Comes with all necessary hardware to mount a standard 50-inch LED light bar directly over the windshield — no fabrication required.

Installation

The D-JL-190052-PIL installs with a straightforward bolt-on process using factory cowl mounting locations — no drilling required. The kit arrives pre-assembled with rails attached, significantly reducing installation time. Basic hand tools are all that's required. Pro Tip: Some installers report that the factory bolts may be slightly short at the top cowl location; using slightly longer bolts (or swapping door bolts) ensures a flush, secure fit on both the driver and passenger sides. No professional installation is required for most DIY Jeep builders.
