Code 3 light bar mounting / headache rack or roof mount

Mach Style · January 13, 2015

Hey guys!

Need some help here. Ended up picking up a full length, (43"?) code 3 Excalibur amber light bar. Plan on cleaning it up some to be a little more "modern". But anyways, I'd like to mount it to the truck without drilling holes. I've been having an insanely hard time finding different ways to mount. Id like to do either a roof mount or a headache mount but here's my issues.

Roof mount - With out drilling holes directly into the roof, Im not finding much. I know they make gutter mounts but these trucks do not have the right gutter. Now I think I've seen a mount that wraps around to the inside of the door, similar to a gutter mount, but I'm not finding much on were I could get one and if it will work

Headache rack - Id like to get one regardless, but it seems that the headache market is pretty slim with the GMT400 generation. right now I'm thinking about getting this:

but still unsure if that could support my bar. I unfortunately don't have the welding skills needed to fabricate a rack or even a mount on an existing mount. Doesn't mean I wont find someone who could help though lol.

so does anyone know of any mounting tricks that would work? Either roof or the rack will make me happy. Just don't want to drill into the roof should I ever take it off.

heres the truck for ref:

and the light bar that will be installed (only picture I have at the moment)

Sorry for the super late reply. Ended up finding a local place that was able to get me a mount.

You do have to drill holes with this, but instead you drill into the side of the gutter system. So basically right behind the weather striping of the door. It's a better choice than drilling through the roof.
