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.

fairly easy install? looks great imo just contemplating on pulling the trigger on doing it.

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.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
