Default Light bar on 01 Silverado mounting ideas

Anyone running a light bar on their truck? Mine is a 2001 1500. Would like to add at least a 20 inch light bar. Looking for suggestions on mounting locations or ideas.

I've thought about that but thought it might block light out put.

Agreed, but I don't think it would effect it much depending on the light bar.
It would be a trial deal for sure, but I think if you can mount it close enough to the grill it would be fine, but I could be wrong.

IMO it would be the cleanest way to install it. I'm not interested in putting holes in the roof/a pillar, and hanging it under the bumper is just asking to get it smashed. Also not a fan of mounting it on the back of the hood.

Agree 100% don't want to drill holes in my truck either. Maybe I'll give it a run behind the grill
