Front light bar maybe bumper mounted...

I'm interested in adding some extra lighting on the front of my truck, I have a 2010 Plat all blacked out so I would be looking for a black bar but, just a light mount bar, not a bullbar or push bar. Anyone running the N-Fab bar or something similar? I would like to see a couple pictures and I would like to know what is required to mount it. I thought I read that it replaces your front tow hooks. Is cutting required? Maybe someone is running a couple Hella lights on their bumper or something and could show me that.

Thanks!

Most of the light bars go through the opening in the middle of the bumper, and they don't require any cutting or drilling. Light bars don't replace the tow hooks, that is bull bars.

Perhaps entertain the thought of adding lights behind your grill. Many members here have done it with different configurations, and some of them look extremely sweet.

Hey I have an N-Fab and it doesn't replace the tow hooks. I have a picture on my cell phone I'll try and get on here for you.

Here, It's a terrible picture I took the night I installed it. I'm at work now but I'll take a better one with a camera after and post it for you. Installing the bar is extremely easy and took about 10 minutes. Didn't require any cutting or drilling either

The N-Fab mounted up very easily on my '11 FX4...

I've played around with a few different lighting config's, Hella's, 4" HID's, and now Rigid LED's.

Here's a pic showing the mounting... Those two 1/2" bolts hold it on very securely, and tow hooks remain...


With Hella's...


With Rigid Dually LED's...
