Ever mount a light bar like this?

[Steve Cloud]

I've seen a truck that had a light bar mounted like that too. That one looks like a strait bar, the one I saw had a curved bar. He's from Alaska and uses it out on the open road where roads have less traffic and aren't in as good of shape as they are down in the lower 48. He didn't seem to have any problems with the way the light operates in that spot. I didn't think to ask if he needed to put in any extra support for it to mount it there. I really liked the way it looked there.

I happened to see this truck later in a parking lot (was in a small mountain town), and as I walked by I noticed that it was a curved bar, and was bolted straight into the top of the bumper.
