driving light options

i know there is the light behind the grill method. this is my favorite, but i dont have access to the tools, metal ect, to make one. other than that i know there are bull bars, brush guards (which i dont want to do) then the daystar light bar, which is for an 04-05, but i can grind it to fit like jesserohr did, and then other than that what are my options without going to a winch bumper?

You pretty much covered it. What do you mean you don't have the tools to do the behind the grill method, it just takes some flat or angle iron from lowe's and a hack saw/drill.

a hack saw will cut through it, it just takes a while. Hack saws are made for cutting metal and cost about $10. Both the iron stock and the hacksaw can be bought at lowes or home depot. I might suggest spray painting the iron before final installation to inhibit rust.

There are walkthroughs on the behind the grill, it's not that hard, and you can get the parts at Lowes.

Smittybilt's RPD one is pretty cool looking too, a little more prerunner styled, though.
