'13 TE Defiant light bar and N-Fab bars pics

[irishmjm]

Just thought i'd share a few pics of the Defiant light bar and N-fab side bars i had made. Couple quick notes, Paul from Defiant is amazing! He had to make this bar for me and couldn't have been better. He called and emailed me to let me know exactly where we stood as far as time and to clarify he was building exactly what i wanted, his shipping was awesome and arrived with zero damage or scratches...if you need something, i would definitely look at Defiant. The N-Fab bars took 4 wks to get because i wanted them textured instead of regular powder coating...well worth the wait

Looks awesome! I love that look, but the N-fab bars it says wont fit my SR5.

I sent them an email asking why though and Im hoping it will be possible to put them on.

They won't fit the SR5 unless you remove the side skirting. If you remove the skirting (which there are threads on here how to) they bolt right on. There is also a thread on here explaining how you can modify the bars so they will fit with the skirting left on.

Very nice! you have any more pictures of the front bar & where/how it mounts? is it the same as their standard bar going through the grille?

Looks great!

I will get a couple more pics for you tomorrow...there are 2 brackets that bolt to the frame, then the bar slides through the lower grill and bolts to the brackets. Very nice and clean install. The brackets off the light bar itself slide through the grill with no cutting or mod needed due to the brackets are notched out to compensate for the grille. The brackets off the light bar are shaped to the bumper so the finished look is pretty impressive. Paul at Defiant really did a nice job on this design. If you want a light bar that really blends in with the front of the truck this is it. I really couldn't be happier with it. Also the lights I put on are the Piaa ATP lights and they are really amazing. I wasn't sure if i would like the light pattern but its perfect for what i was looking for. They are bright enough that you can turn off headlights and they easily light your path.

This is how it fits through the grille... the brackets that i mounted to the frame are underneath the shield so i couldn't get that pic without removing the shield again. They are basically just large "L" brackets that bolt right on.

Looks great! I like the clean look of the light bar :thumb3:

Seeing those PIAA's reminds me that MetalTech owes me $150
