Default Bed Rail Mounted Lightbar

Looking for a way to mount forward facing offroad lights, roll bar style without taking up room in the already short bed of my '02 F-150 Screw like a roll bar setup would.

As a bonus I would like to avoid drilling the body/bed of the truck if at all possible.

Any suggestions and/or pics is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bull

Call_me_Jordan has one too with 4 KC lights on it, I'm sure he'd be glad to throw up some better pics of his setup

i'm not sure how in the world you would put a light bar on a truck withough drilling or using bolts. but my buddy has a roll bar on his truck and it mounts to the bed rails. don't think it would actually serve a purpose except for lights and the look of a roll bar.

that looks bad ***.

if you had a cap you could make your own bar and mount it on top like i did. i had a light bar welded up, i sanded it and painted it. looks pretty good. got a set of hella 700s on it right now...waiting for a second set.
