Default XJ 50" Curved LED Light Bar Mounts

I ordered a 480W 50" curved LED light bar. The only mounts I am finding are the ones you rivet to the A-pillar. I don't like the look of the bar being in-front of the windshield. I would like to mount it to the front of the drip rails, so it sits just above the glass by the roof line. Has anyone done this or does anyone have a picture of the setup?

Send the light bar to me. I'll fabricate some mounts and let you know how it worked. Lol

Yes, just like that. Heck, that's pretty simple. I could probably make one or have one made for 1/2 the price.

Inspired Engineering's work with many curved light bars and they have security bolt options with nuts that are actually welded to the brackets. So they work. I run Inspired Engineering on my Jeep, so you can check out my build thread for details.

Nothing against Hooligan, but I hate his brackets. I sold them as soon as I bought them and bolted them up. The security system on them is a joke and they look hideous.

I think when the bar gets here, I am going to mock it up and measure. If I can do it without a lot of bending, I will just buy a small sheet of 1/8" or 3/16th" and cut it out with my grinder.
