N-Fab light bar question
Can anyone with an N-Fab light bar do me a huge favor? I need the distance between the 2 inner light mounts.
Gonna order one from [MENTION=156902]Brian@TruckImage.com[/MENTION] this week and I want to do LED bars instead of round off-road lights but I have NO idea what sizes to run. I'd like to run one bar on the 2 middle tabs and single pods on the outer tabs.
Thanks in advance for the help guys (and gals)

Also interested in this. I wonder if I would be able to mount Rigid Duallys in there.

Hell of a lot cheaper than installing a 50'. LOL Yeah a 10in the middle and 2 duallys on the outside is a good combo. Although I'd be worried about some doucher stealing them. Probably could use the red loctite when you install them.

10" center to center on the two inner tabs, another 10" to each outboard tab.
I wanted four dually's and didn't like the spacing, also wanted the LED's behind the bar, so I made a custom bracket using PIAA tubular light mounts and some aluminum L bar.
This pic shows a bit of the PIAA clamps and L-bracket... My intention was to cut off the tabs and refinish as necessary, but I must admit I have a tendency to prototype things, and if they keep on working, move on to something else. Same goes for the behind grille light brackets... Bent them up out of some aluminum just to get the fit right, a year later they are exactly as I hacked them up on day 1.

That looks good! Almost make me want to add a light bar.

Yes, took those pictures the same day I had a cracked windshield replaced... Hence the orange tape on the top of the windsheild.
FYI, there are (at least) two windshield versions available for these generation trucks... The windshield it came with had the F150 dot logo in the center, but without the full sun tint strip. The one with the full, dark sunshield strip is quite a bit cheaper (if your paying for it on your own) and IMHO looks and functions better as well... Doesn't say 'F150' on it, but seeing as I debadged as much of the truck as I could without leaving holes, not a problem for me.
