    You could try getting a Yakima rack and drilling in to that

    Not on the single cab. On the double cab the mounts can be bolted onto the roof rack holes in the roof from the factory.

    this wasn't too bad.....you could do just the three rivets on each side, not the two nut-zerts. :D

    ^^ how would you think it would stay on offroad if you don't bolt/screw it down? :notsure:

    I mean, maybe you could suction cup it to the top of your windshield! :D

    Like it's been said, you are kinda SOL being you have a reg cab. Your only "non drill" option is going to be like suggested above...some sort of roof rack setup that mounts to the door hinges with no drilling, then attach the light bar to that. Problem is it's going to look like crap and not meet your flush/low profile criteria. Your only real option for low and flush windshield mount is rivet or drill in a mount.

    So just curious here but which works better for the 2nd gen! I want a 50" or 52" curved and I want it to flush with the top of the windshield. Just wondering what size most people do. I've not fooled with light bars too much.

    so with these mounts you were able to use the factory holes? because I seen where on the mounts the two front holes are close enough to where it might line up with the factory.
