Default 50 inch light bar mount?

Does anybody know what the process is to mount a 50 inch light bar on my 05. i have a buddy who works at a weld shop so he can make the mounts, the only problem is he thinks I'm going to have to drill into my roof. Can anybody confirm this or is there another way? Thanks for the help!

Look at the mounts from addictive desert designs, they wrap around the a pillar.

So it doesn't bolt, or screw in? It wraps around the pillar? I'm a little confused can you explain. And thanks for all the links it helps a lot!!!!

you do have to drill and rivet into the a pillar, but its better than through the roof. the mounts wrap around the pillar and get secured to the flat part behind the weatherstrip.
