I have a 04 Dakota and the tailgate sticks below the top of the bumper, so couldn't mount it there. I had mine mounted 2 ways before the bar died and I removed it.
1st - I removed all of the self-adhesive pads, flipped the bar upside down, and screwed it to the stock plastic bedliner on the tailgate.
2nd - After I had a tonneau cover installed, I made a piece of angle iron that I bolted to a channel in the tonneau cover. I then bolted the bar to the angle iron.
1st way worked ok, had to be careful to make sure I didn't rip the bar off. 2nd way worked great, would still have it if the bar hadn't died.

I don't have any pictures of it installed, but I'll take some pictures of the mount and bar this weekend. Here's a paint drawing of how I had it mounted.
Black is the cover, red is the angle iron, blue is the bar, green is the tailgate, and gray is bolts.
