Another possible solution if you don't want to drill into the roof of your cab: Get a tall backrack (mine is from a Ford; bought for $100 on CL and painted the outer bars body color) and mount it to the top of that. I took that picture before installing mine, but it sits on top of the rack between those two "ears". I can swivel it to point forward or backward. I actually use it more to load the box or trailers when it's dark out.

For real. I scored a really nice light bar on Craigslist that didn’t come with the mounting brackets. The brackets that would work cost more than the light bar. Lol.

I like that Ram badge on the tailgate!
