What Light Bar are you thinking for the mounts? I'm thinking BD S8:)
We are a Diode Dynamics dealer so we will run that but always try to make everything somewhat universal to allow other brands to work as well

You're not wrong. Still working on the best option that balances, cost, fabrication time, ease of installation, functionality, and style.
Honestly, if you simply came up with an conversion kit to mount the Rough Country Nudge Bar behind/using the bolt holes for the integrated tow hooks on the capable bumper, Iā€™d bet thereā€™d be a huge market!

One of the options I looked at was using those bolt holes. I wasn't finding a layout I liked. I also worked on replacing the tow hooks on the capable bumper but that requires fabricating a plate to mount the sensors. I will come up with a solution shortly because I need to get on to the Modular bumper and do what I want for it so I can get to designing my complete bumper.

For what it's worth the same tow brackets can be used for both bumpers. Just needs clearanced plastic covers. So maybe a plate sandwiched between, and a new cover, or the old cover could be modified.

Also found this today, honestly, I might spring for it, tired of waiting and this is right up the alley for what Iā€™ve been looking for! Not the most aesthetic, but I can mount some KC lights!

Itā€™s interesting that Nacho isnā€™t showing this on their website anymore. The mounting of this seems to be the way to go for the capable bumper if the main purpose to mount lights. To move bulls in the pasture, maybe not so much.

I was curious about that myself, kind of bizarre, as long as its available through a third party.. found it on stickerfab too after finding out it was a thing and searching specifically for it, of course theyā€™re out of stock.
