So yesterday upon inspection, I noticed there are 2 holes in the back of the steel bumper right near the middle, 15 inches apart.
Using those holes, I can mount L brackets to them which will give me 2 holes on top of the bumper 15 inches apart.
From there, I can mount up to a 30 inch light bar (Assuming it uses the peg mounting method in the middle of the bar, not the legs at the ends).
So, this may be a project in the near future..

I haven't even ordered a bar yet. I'm stuck on deciding whether I should mount it to the roof or on my bumper right in front of the grill.. Can't decide.
Here's the bar I might end up getting just to try out: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/20inch-126W-..._DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3cd06c28b2&vxp=mtr
