Default Light bar mount

I got a 24 inch light bar I'm looking to install on my 1996 zj. My only problem is i'm really not to thrilled about drilling into the bumper, i was wondering if anyone as any suggestion as to what kind of mount i could use? preferably a grill mount. I've searched the internet up and down but i don't know what i could possibly use.

Magnet it to your hood. Just kidding. You could fabricate some mounts somehow

You would only to drill two holes in your bumper and probably no larger than 1/2"

I have to ask, why you not wanting to drill your bumper. Way back when I didn't want to scratch my xj neither but once the mods started I felt comfortable with the fact its a beautiful jeep no matter what. Even after lifting, decals, fenders trimmed, end caps removed, etc etc

I don't mind drilling into the bumper, i'd just prefer not to drill into the bumper. Of course if i have to and thats the only way I'm gonna take that route. Lol just thought id see if anyone knew of somewhere where i could get a pre made mount for it.

You can probably get a bull bar and mount it to that. Or a full brush guard possibly made for a ZJ

If you take the mount for the front plate off you can use the existing holes that is how I mounted it on my 98.

Or maybe find a bush guard in the junkyard or cheap on craigslist.
