I like that bar too. I wonder if it gives you the option to mount multiple ways (like a 50" and a couple of the cubes). I also wonder if it takes the spot of the tow hooks.

It appears to be that the tow hooks are still there.

Gotta love how it's for a Sierra 1500 but they show it on a Ford F-250 on the website haha.

Yeah I know. I'm really diggin it though. Ususally they have the instructions on how to install but nothing so far...So I guess either someone who has them or knows someone could tell us or I could be the guinea pig. lol

I'd be more than happy to be the guinea pig but I'd like to see what kind of mounting options for lights it has first.

Here is a pic on the GMC with the Denali Grill and a pic with the grill off.

 

If you need the bars hit me up they run $160 for a Cree bar. 2yr warranty. You can view/order from our website www.infiniteoffroad.com

Looking at the other light bar they offer I'm sure it's gonna mount where the tow hooks are.

I have the original N-Fab light bar which you are correct mounts to the inside frame rails where the tow hooks are located. I can't imagine they would have redesigned the size of the bar just to add the multi mount rails, I assume they just welded their new rails where I have four tabs. Largest led bar I could fit was a 40" Rigid Industries which extends past the N-Fab bar slightly. I used the Rigid Industries 40" cradle mount and utilized the outside two mounting tabs on the N-Fab light bar, the center two were cut flush to the cradle mount since they will not be used. I really like my factory bumpers and planned from the beginning to find a way to mount the largest Rigid light on the front and a pair of Rigid Duallys on the rear, so N-Fab had the perfect solutions. I matched the front with the N-Fab Rear Runner.

I don't believe the multi mount bar for our trucks will hold that much light. It is probably designed for a combination of smaller length 10" - 20" with some cubes. Now that's not fact, that's assumption based on the four tab bar measuring 40.5" wide.

One last picture. I tried to explain how I cut the center tabs on the N-Fab light bar and utilized a Rigid Industries cradle mount. This picture illustrates it better.

Was not bad. I struggled with the N-Fab bar at first the driver side has the front bolt that is blocked by the bumper structure. Instead of taking off the front bumper which is how I started and got frustrated (not an N-Fab problem), I found a post on this forum regarding changing out tow hooks where they just cut that bolt and feed a new one from the opposite direction. That's what I did and it was easy from there, take a look at your own tow hooks and you will see what I mean. Pull the trigger, if you need help along the way hit me back, happy to help.

    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back. 
    • That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
