N-Fab front bumper

[AustinB]

The kore bumper is sick.

AB did you get the nfab that was on that tundra? That ones pretty sick too.

Yes, except round lights.

I didnt like it for about 30 seconds... Then it grew on me..its a big change to the front end.

The westin light bar I had sucks. Just driving down the road would cause a flickering effect, because it wasn't sturdy enough... Now imagine off road.

It pissed me off so bad I bought this bumper..basically because it is built around the lights... And I can go up to 9" lights lol!

^ are you over all happy? Post some more photos. Different angles.

 

[AustinB]

I will take some tomorrow, as of now... For the purpose I bought it for... It was worth every penny.

Looks great man! Been trying to decide on bumpers for mine. Like the n fab but I have front sensors. Gotta either pay double the n fab price or turn them off

It looks so much better than I thought it would.

I had originally ordered from carid with a %10 discount and 1 week shipping.... Then I called 4wheelparts and got it cheaper, and the next day lol.

Looking good man, I like it.

Looks Kickass.

Since I lost my factory fog lights, and I rely on them, the wiring is already there, and because I just want to...

I ordered these KC halogen wide beam lights. They have a replacable H3 bulb so I can throw some silverstar ultras in there to match my headlights.

Should be road friendly after some aiming.

I will be mounting these to one of the upper bars that are out of view, and tucked in a bit...hopefully be able to tie into stock harness without any bulb out message (I think it will be fine with halogen 55w bulbs).

I will take pics during and after install, light output, looks, etc... So far this is a great purpose built mod, for the money.

(Same day shipping on amazon is fkin cool!)

does the nfab allow you to keep your tow hooks?

No, I tried every angle.

The closest you will get is the ADD bumper for $2400 but you'll also have to buy a winch for front tow.

Also, even if you did fab up a mount for the hooks (which is possible), you'd lose about 8" of clearance from the ground, which defeats the purpose of the bumper (with factory hooks).

So the best thing to do now is just have a row rope and tie it to the frame to be pulled out from the front

Im still working on tow options.. The mounting points are still accessible.. Just need to search what is on the market...

But yea, either way it will still probably involve a tree saver type strap (6 foot) to connect to the tow points, and then a recovery strap to that.

In the mean time I don't plan on getting stuck... And would request to be pulled out from the rear if I did.

Saw this today, the comment from ADD says its about 2 months out for our Rams. But 1400 is still really pricy for what it is.

Its a good price in comparison to their others... But the nfab is better than that one and half the price.

I think $1500 is a bit much. ADD has a ton of marketing, they get there name out there, I feel it makes people feel they are the only "coke" in the desert. They show their bumpers in these badass trucks and we get hooked. Which is why they get away charging so much. Mine cost $1700, which is still an ass load. But, I feel I get so much compared to an ADD bumper.

Btw op, Not trying to high rack your thread, I like your Nfab bumper and can't wait for more photos of it.

(Old photo, I have some lights in the bumper holes)

 

[AustinB]

Yea! That one looks like its worth the extra money.. Thats a lot of steel and a winch mount. I looked at one like that.. Iron Bull? (Hard to see the bumper on my phone) ... Just the weight and light options held me back.

I really like that one!

[HemiPower36]

Actually, that ADD bumper comes with rigid lights at $1500 total. Got me thinking now...

 

[AustinB]

So its a $1000 bumper with a $500 light

I really think youll be disappointed with it.. They make them look good in pictures, but now I know first hand that you will just look like youre missing a bumper... And that skid plate that is pretty much tucked up nice and close... Imagine trying to access something under your engine, or even wiring in something.. Just dont get too excited over that picture.

This Nfab bumper I have looks fkin great from the front! But from side views it looks like I got in a wreck and left the bumper off..

Doesnt help that my truck is still dirty as hell from last weekend, and the brand new black pretty much disappears.
