(posted on 06/21/2021) 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….

Updating an old post. On Friday 8/25/2023, I noticed my NFAB light bar looked like this:
I had just stopped at a UPS Store on my way somewhere else. Fortunately I noticed it before getting back on the road. I was able to "remove" it by just lifting and lowering the whole bar about 3 times (think bending a paperclip until it breaks.). It would have fallen off on the road very soon after driving, and I would have run over it, possibly causing thousands in damage. Or worse, it takes out another vehicle and causes a huge crash. Definitely massive good luck on the timing of the stop, and noticing it was FUBAR.
This time, both mounting tabs broke, and in the same fashion as before. Rust is visible near the top edge, so it started to fail some time ago.
The VisionX lights are simply far too heavy for this bar. It is only good for lightweight, small lights.
I'm not even bothering to contact NFAB this time. I'm just done with this bar, it is clearly not up to the task I'm asking it to do.

What year is your Super Duty? Does it have Adaptive Cruise Control?
I had the NFab light bar (like yours) on my Raptor with 4 large lights. I liked it a lot and would like to do something similar on my 2021 F350. My issue is I have Adaptive Cruise Control and I believe their light bar requires relocating the radar unit and I don't want to do that. Ideally I'd like a light bar that will mount to the tow hooks without going through the hooks' surround (plastic pieces) and doesn't require moving the ACC unit. From what I've seen online no such product exists but I keep looking

I used to have these lights installed on my lifted Jeep gladiator but since that vehicle is now gone, I thought I would move them over to my 2021 F350 Super Duty.
First I installed a Factory Aftermarket light bar, a very well designed and made product suitable for mounting light bars snd individual lights like these.
Center 2 lights are NITRO 180 Maxx 9″ LED Driving Light by Ultra Vision, a great company located in Australia https://ultra-vision.com.au/product/...driving-light/ Light Output – Effective 23,065 Lumens (per pair)
Outer 2 lights are Nitro 140 Maxx 9″ LED Driving Light by Ultra Vision, a great company located in Australia https://ultra-vision.com.au/product/...driving-light/ Light Output – Effective 22,520 Lumens (per pair)
I previously installed their light bar in the opening where some install a front winch...
