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.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
