Off road lamps and Winch
Hi all.
1) I want to install off roading lamps on top of my blazer but i can't find any good frame to install them in. I donot want to drill holes. So tell me the good sites for the frame.
2) I also want to install the winch in the front bumper but again no drilling. What should i do?

First off...what are you driving? You haven't provided any info.
1. For the lights the most common place to mount them would be on the roof rack. You will have to drill holes in your roof rack though. If you're dead set against drilling then purchase a roof basket which mounts to your roof rack and mount the lights to that. A basket can run you a couple hundred $'s though, so you're better off mounting to the roof rack. I did that to mine and have plenty of pics in my build thread if you want to see how, just click on my sig. If you don't have a rood rack and can't purchase a basket then you're out of luck, I can't imagine anyway to mount them without drilling holes.
2. You'll need to mount your winch to a bull bar/safari bar or a brush guard. That or fab a customer mount that bolts to your frame. There is no other way to mount a winch, if you try and mount it to your bumper you can be sure it will rip right off the first time you try to winch something. If you get a brush guard again, you're looking at a few hundred $'s, but you can get ones that mount right to the frame and don't require drilling.

As for the winch mount,

I think you will have to drill a couple holes but probably the best option.

Thought light bars were made that clamp to the rain rails.
Guess it depends on the year.
