Definitely takes getting used to.
Yep, if I can get the same (or better output) with a 6 or 8" single row light, I'd rather that than some huge 40" that doesn't fit in or look clean 🤷‍♂️

I used the center rivet on the light bar to match with the center plastic support in the grill.

Routed the cabling through a hole next to the radiator and driver side headlight.

Drilled a few small holes in the plastic piece at the top of the engine bay to route zip ties through to hold the wiring to the rear of the engine bay on its way to the upfitter fusebox/
Many thanks!!! Awesome job and the price is right too!!!

T-Rex Super Duty Steath Torch Grille


This one works with the front camera! I just removed it from my 2019 prepping for a trade-in. It is available for sale.

I had the N-Fab light bar (F174LB-TX) until it broke recently. Driving on some gravel wash board road and heard this loud bang and rattling. One mounting that connects to the tow hook bolts was completely sheared off. Zip tied it to the tow hook to get home. To their credit, N-Fab immediately initiated a replacement, but I’ve yet to receive it (2 weeks and counting)

was mounted with 2 VisionX 8.7” light cannons and 2 VisionX 6.7” light cannons. Fairly heavy setup. I don’t think the N-Fab design is up to heavy lights in an off-road (even mild) situation….

The red truck was my 2019. Note the led bar I mounted on the front bumper. I left it on there for the new owner.
I traded that truck in for the blue one, 2020.
havent installed a light bar yet, but I want too.

FYI - warranty replacement from N-Fab showed up yesterday. 3 weeks from when I emailed them I had the replacement, no fuss. Pretty happy with that level of customer service.....
