Good luck! That was my plan too... Didn't work out that way.

I talked to a guy I work with who, before he was a firefighter, built project trucks (still does on the side) and he mentioned trying to find some mounts like Yakima makes for their baskets/roof racks. He said you can usually buy those mounts, and either fabricate a bar to attach the light too, or to try and find a piece that they make to attach the bar too. I'll let y'all know what I find and how it works out!

That sounds like a solid plan!

I was gonna say the same thing. Those mounts are solid. I had a Thule rack on my three previous vehicles before the truck. It was the same rack with different fit kits, just kept moving it around. On every vehicle, I could grab my load bars and rock the entire car. Like I said, solid.

And you can get lock cores for cheap for the mounts and have the added security. If I was gonna do a 50" on the roof (which I'm not because my truck IS stock), I would definitely figure out how to do it with a Yakima or Thule rack before I drilled into my cab.

You know they do make brackets that you can mount inside the front door seal. That's what I plan on doing once I get my 50" curved light bar. You still have to drill on the inside door seal but at least it's not on the actual roof.
