I knew what you meant, just asking if it was the NFAB.

I'm considering one at the moment, that or just going with a paint matched front bumper. I've seen several close up, in person, and at least 2 have been welded to the frame and all have have at least one extra hole drilled on each side, if not two, in order to properly attach it. There's only one bolt included on each side that lines up with the existing holes on the frame horns, which apparently isn't enough.

Also, because the bumper pad is attached to the factory bumper, and the NFAB has nowhere for the bumper pad to attach to and receive support from, the bumper pads were flimsy on all of them. They are also not compatible with a body lift (at least I've drawn this conclusion given how it mounts), which I would like to do at some point. So I dislike all of these attributes, but still am considering one.

BTW, bumpersuperstore.com has the other style that holds just the 4 lights (though I'd still stick twin 38s on it anyway) for only $732 shipped. $100 cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

Ive seen only one in person on our gen Trucks I really liked it. Ive looked at several on line and one truck had one with a body lift, he just had to have the mounts raised to match the lift. he also extended the skid plate and cut off the ends of his frame horns.

The truck I saw in person was at showfest last year, he had a FTS 8" Lift and 39.5" Super Swampers, He said that he didnt rub that much even when he rode it hard. I wanted to call BS cause his Frame Was Super Clean and the Powder coat on his lift and and Axle, and the paint on the rear bumper was in Perfect shape.

The bold is what I figure I'd have to do, and am unwilling to do. I knew the frame horns would have to cut because of how it mounts and how it's shaped, but I'm not in love with the bumper so much so that I'd permanently prevent going back to stock.

To me, stock paint matched bumpers look the best and cleanest, but aftermarkets are a lot "cooler" and I want to be different. All depends on what you want, and it seems you want it! I just can't decide on which I'm gonna go with, but mine is dented, so I'd better decide soon lol.

It wasn't yellow and gray two-tone was it?

No, This one was a all white with red accents, pretty cool truck.

Id like to get it powder coated Red to watch my truck and replace the skid plate with one with my company logo stamped out and powder coat it black, and put a Led Lamp behind it to project out on the ground.

Oh okay, I'd like to see that one!

I'd definitely get my PC'd white to match too. There's a kid on instagram with his done in white and it looks great. So your plans sound awesome.

That would drive me crazy walking past parts every day like that. I'm assuming you're in the medical field?
