light bar mounts.

anyone know of any inexpensive, or even knock-off light bar mounts for the lower valence?

considering just mounting the bar directly to the bumper if i can't find any mounts.

 

You mean mount the light bar in the lower bumper grille area?

 

I don't have any lower valence but maybe you can show me what you want
Also have these too https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/cmw-ditch-light-bracket-group-buy.421130/page-3#post-12044452

 

yes, I have searched and the rigid mounts are the only ones I have found so far.
