Nope.

Asking how to fabricate a mount. Read the stickies at the top of this section.

The gutters should be more than fine for holding a light bar, otherwise you could probably do something on the A pillar.

There's a "vendor" in the vendor section that attempted to make a mount to fit a similar size light bar. Check it out. Then make something like it.

I was at an event and noticed an led bar with some sweet mounts the guy fabed out of plate steel. The part that caught my eye is he added an actuator the moved then light up and down so he could aim if bar. Maybe incorporate that into your design?
