    26875075-061B-4238-BB5E-68F49D2CC2B6.jpg I have an NFab light bar sitting on the shop floor waiting for install ( planning on ordering a pair of LP9s and LP6s from BD).

    Recently hearing of some unflattering reviews on the performance of the N Fab bar and am second guessing my choice.

    Any comments from users? Hate to mount some expensive lights on something that may not be dependable.

    All info appreciated.

    Is that the 4 tab? It looks like what I have had on my 09 Crewmax. What do the reviews say? Mine has been fine except I've gotten some surface rust in the last couple years, which seems to be par for the course for powder coated or painted metal bolt-ons in the rust belt. Some peeling of the finish near the bolt holes. The fix is probably to rhino, linex, re-coat, or otherwise refinish but haven't gotten around to it. Other than that it has held up fine and I am not sure what else there is to go wrong with it.

    My steps are also I think NFAB, or maybe Go Rhino (Same company right? Can never keep it straight or remember if I'm not looking at them.) Powder coated steel, have to add rusteoleom every spring. In the future anything that goes on the truck that is not stainless will probably be linex-ed before it is mounted. No matter how tough the advertising claims the finish is, eventually it will chip and start to rust.

    Yes, 4 tab. I saw a report of the bar breaking off just outside the mount points. Saw another report of cracking in same area. Older posts, but was just concerned. I really like the bar, have not mounted yet.
