I'm looking for a solution to attach limb risers on my truck without drilling into the a-pillar to attach them on the topside. Does anyone know of a bracket (maybe for a roof rack?) that clamps onto the rain gutter of the freedom panels? My truck doesn't have a light bar or roof rack to tie them onto, and I don't have any plans to add one. The goal here is to temporarily attach the risers during trips where I need them while keeping a somewhat stock appearance the rest of the time.

Can probably work something up between something temp mounted to the rain gutter and the hood latch hardware.

That's what I'm hoping for. Just need to figure out the rain gutter portion without starting from scratch

I looked a year ago with no luck. All I found were lightbar mounts to match angry grilles.
Maybe look for non-Gladiator Jeeps.

Lightbar mounts may be your best bet...and you could always paint them to match to keep it lower profile (and added A-pillar protection).

It wouldn't be cable risers, but I have used paracord tied off on the hood latches, run under the top header, and tied off to the latches before as an expedient method. It worked well for that run, but not a long term solution.

That's not a bad idea in a pinch, I'll keep that in mind

I hired midgets once to stand on the hood and simply lift the limbs out of the way. I lost one somewhere on the trail and well.......that was the end of that.
