Where in the PNW do you live? You might be able to see all the things you are planning (front brush guard, 30" led bar, Perkins rack, husky floor mats) in person if you are close to Seattle.
HOJeepster welded tabs on the cross member to mount the light bar:
T4Runner13 runs a Waag front grill guard (he was planning to upgrade last time I spoke with him):
And I'm the only one that I know of running a perkins rack in WA....for now.

Wow! I work in Snoqualmie and live in Maple Valley. I'm curious on HOJeepster install and I'd LOVE to, ahem, look into T4Runner13's WAAG grill guard and actually see your Perkins Rack in person!

Cool. Snoqualmie meaning the summit?
HOJeepter is leaving WA at the end of this month. I'll check with him what his schedule is for the next few days. I might be meeting up with T4Runner13 in the next week or so over in Bellevue. I'm in and around the area so you can see my truck anytime.

Well, not the summit but the actual "town." The summit is a mere 25 miles away...
Yeah, that would be stellar if you could check with HOJeepster before he heads out...if he's still planning on replacing it of course.
Weekends tend be better for me but even that's a maybe being on salary...however, we should meet up sometime.

Ha, you're right. Just heard from him that he sold it 3 months ago. I guess it's been a while since I've talked to him. Also, HOJeepster moved a couple of days earlier so you won't be able to see it in person like i mentioned.  you could always PM him and ask for close up pics like ARK provided.
I guess the only thing you can see in person is my Perkins rack. my bad.

Call me crazy, but my main concern with the light mounted so low would be water crossings and such? Any input in regards to this?

I was understanding that these light bar are weather proof...able to be dipped, buried, banged up and still keep shining bright. Perhaps there are differences in the term "abuse" but I believe they hold up to punishment.

It really depends on how well sealed the lights are and their intended use.
Here is a test from last year that reviews Halogen/HID/LED lighting available at the time. It includes output, impact resistance and ability to be submerged in water: http://www.lightforce.net.au/images/...0161%20LR2.pdf
