    I am looking into getting an led light bar and possibly mounting it on top of the truck but I do not want to drill holes in my truck and anyone seen some nice brackets that do not require drilling. Thanks

    sounds like a good way to have it get stolen.

    All things are possible with a liberal application of duct tape.

    Ive seen some companies have magnet mounts. I personally have no experience with them and havent heard any reviews but may look into that option.

    On a first gen? Highly highly doubt you'll be able to mount anything w/o drilling. Unless you've got a roof rack or something else already up there. And I think you'll have a hard time finding any mounts premade to buy and slap on there. You could buy some for other applications and modify it to fit your specific bar. Or yer gonna have to fab one up yourself. There are quite a few guys on here who are trying to figure out a design that could be universally used and sold for us first gens, me included. I once had an idea for a completely universal mount, but didn't pan out. I'm now thinking up some ideas for a mount that could be very easily installed using the rain gutters for a mounting point. But again this will require two holes to be drilled on each side. But it will be much easier and painless for people that are anxious about drilling into their truck. I mean, it's the rain gutter. The weather stripping hides it anyways. I wished I would've thought of that sooner too because I had drilled into the side of the cab just above the rain gutter and had a helluva time getting bolts in through there under the headliner...
    But that would be the way to go if you have the option of fabbing one up yourself. Currently I'm unable to do any kind of fab work let alone purchase supplies. But I'll get to it eventually. Gonna be a future side hobby.. Anyways, good hunting. Didn't mean to let u down. Keep searching. Maybe you'll find something I haven't yet. Let us know.

    Just build an exo cage and mount it to that...

    I don't think there is a way to do it, that is at least not a good way to do it without holes.
