If you can weld, build a light bar like I did. It mounts to the studs that hold the front bumper on. I spent $25 on a length of 2"x1/4" flat iron. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures except for with it on my truck. Basically 2 pieces of flat iron welded in a L shape and a bar across. (Don't have any pics since I put the bar across the two either)
