I don't think there's anything pre-made, especially for our older trucks. Most all of the light mounts I've seen are a custom job.
 






Agreed...you may find something for a Ranger that may work, but honestly, anything that is pre-made and specifically built for certain vehicles is way over priced, and wouldn't be worth getting to find out later it doesn't work. Companies like n-Fab will take that price and top it...last I checked, their single light mounts for an 08 Sierra were $125!

You're much better off making something yourself...a friend of mine had plates made (so he didn't have to drill into the roof) that attached to the side rails behind the door, and allowed the brackets that came with the LED bar to mount to that...just went to the local welding shop, asked if they could help him out...one trip to their scrap bin, a cut or two and a bend, for $8 he had his 50" mounted on his truck.

Would love to see pictures of this set up.

Personally I would have just made them be the brackets themselves instead of mounting fixtures, but at least he was smart and color matched them to his truck.
 






Those mounts look really awesome. I've got an LED lightbar from Ledoutfitters yesterday, and I'd like to instal it this way too. I hope, it will be great
