Roof mounted light bar

Hey all!

I'm new on this forum so I'll give you a break down of my truck. 2003 Ranger black tinted windows with silver trim on the bottom of the tint. It's got about 5-6 inch lift with 34 inch mug tires. As the title says I'm looking for a roof mounted light bar for off roading and getting to my late night fishing holes. I've tried KC and Carr but nothing . I actual emailed them both. Carr replied saying that they don't make anything in my year model because I need the attached mount because I don't have a gutter. Any help!! Website where to look or companies? Or even another make? I really like the Carr they should be another make that is close to the ranger I can use?!?!

Thx

I'm not good at making stuff like this from scratch which suck. Let just say what I think it will look like and what it turns out like isn't close lol. The really problem is trying to find something for 2003 ranger :/. I'm talking with Carr to see if there is a similar length as other truck roofs can't be that much different. Then just modify a bit :$. But still it should be easier that this!!

As Tom said, use a headache rack. You can buy a "BackRack" like what is pictured in the SD for your ranger.

While you're at it you might as well mount your WINCH in between the lights.

The backrack plus light bar just seems like to much $$$$. Lol. There has to be something out. What ate some other brand names other than KC and Carr. Btw Carr customer support sucks balls!!! Pissed at them right now!! I've seen a bunch of rangers with roof mounted light bars why can't I find any lol. Mind you I've found some that are well over 1000 $. Lol
