Building a Rollbar / Light bar

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

I just got done making one for my 03. I used all 4 stake pocket holes to mount it. What I did was bought 4 of those stake pocket mount cargo hooks. Then I took out the i-bolts and put in a regular bolt. I ran the bolt through the plate mount on the bar and into the rubber mount. I can rock the light bar as hard as I can and it doesn't move at all...

i like your idea of how to mount it

i like the look of this, you dont see many light bars with the down tubes that go the length of the bed like ours. i actually found my bar in the dumpster at work, someone took it out of their s-10 and threw it in our dumpster.
to answer the mounting question, my bar is mounted to the frame using the existing bed bolts, i just welded some feet onto the bottoms of the roll bar and then drilled the holes so i could used the stock bed bolts and mounting holes.

heres the link to the begining of my roll bar modifications

I would bring the inside angle of the light bar down farther than the inside lip of the bed rails then drill some holes below the lip. Use some 3/8 bolts and 1/8 plate to pinch the lip to the light bar. If that makes any sense. It would be semi permanent and you wouldn't have to drill any holes into your bed.
