Drill Free Light Mount
Hey, I'm new on this site, but not new to Ford. I'm working as a Project Manager now, and my company requires that I outfit my truck with a 360 amber light bar for safety reasons. I'm not too keen on having a magnet on my roof, or drilling into my truck... I've seen some units that mount where the 3rd brake light is.
My new truck is a 2013 XLT SuperCrew
So my question is this: does anyone know of companies that make these, and where can I buy one?
All help is goood help!

You could get a backrack and then get a lightbar mount for it.

I have one on my truck . It is a 2003 f150 stpeside. I had to modify their brackets and drill two holes in the bed rails to make it fit but it works great. I also will be putting a fullsize lightbar on it when it gets a little nicer out. The only other way I have seen is to use the window clamp brackets. I was looking into these but I heard they leak a lot so I decided to not use them.

If you dont want to install a backrack your best bet is magnetic mount, OR just run a crazy amount of lightheads on your truck if they will let you do that (2-4 lightheads per side). Pricey but a lot sleeker looking if you do it right.

I would never use a magnetic mount if you plan on driving the truck more than 5 mph. I have seen many go flying off the roofs if cars and trucks. A lot of manufactures say if you use a magnetic mount that they are not responsible for what happens if it flies off

That mount is actually pretty interesting. I have never seen something like that.
