probably not... in most states it is illegal to place it on the bullbar, although clearly that doesn't stop a lot of folks.

A fabrication shop should be able to fix it.
However, not only is it illegal in many states, but SWMBO will hit the roof when she sees it in front of her all the time. Wheel placement on the passengers side may also be affected.
Rear mounted A/T's work well, and do not restrict vision.
There are a number of mounts around for the rear of a 100 series.

Footy,
Up here, one hardly ever sees a rear mount HF aerial, bullbar mounts are the most common.

As Footy says, a welding works should be able to weld the required tab(s) onto your alloy bullbar.
Make sure that you tell them it is for a HF autotune antenna, and the rough weight of it. Otherwise they may not make it strong enough.

Try the ARB antenna mount very strong and reliable, No welding required
TJM mount is not suitable, not strong enough and even with a CB antenna on them they flex and crack off

Been giving the mount some thought, Could be best to get one welded on because I would presume the Auto tuner weighs a bit , but as you have a nice clean bar you don't need to ruin it so I would agree with all the suggestions for the rear mount on the tyre carrier idea m although I have seen them mounted down low on a bullbar on the flat section , only needs a hole drilled for that method, but would not be ideal for some of the modern bars that lean back to much .
