N-Fabs are On!
 
I finally got my N-Fabs on. They were suppose to be chrome powder coded. There isn't anything chrome about them. It's more of a silver then anything. The powder coating job is crap! There is fish-eye, orange peel, splatters all in the coding. Over all the bars are nice! The powder coding on the other hand is a joke! So I'm sending them off next week to get re-done by a local shop. I'm going to have them colored to match the truck and I'm going to leave the step plate on the bars silver/chrome. Whatcha all think???

Looks Good. Sounds like your color idea will be sweet. Six steps for mine are one of the items on the list.

Those look good as is, and the monochrome effect looks great! I've also been considering a set for my stock suspended 4x4 with 285s, but I was concerned they might hang down and/or out too far for offroading.

Any thoughts on if they would get hung up and how durable they would be offroading?

TIA

There surprisingly strong the way there mounted. As for off-roading, I guess they'd be like any other step, it would all depend on how crazy you get. I do a lot of back country driving and that wasn't a concern for me, considering on how durable/strong these things are. The weigh about 50 pounds each.

She would look at it...get all giddy over the red, look down at the N-Fabs, look at me and say "You're not getting those, Derek" I already know what she is going to say BEFORE she says it...the only thing that I have talked her into LETTING me get, is a billet tranny when I get back from deployment so I don't bomb the one in it...

But everybody knows that when you have a pressure box/Hot Edge stack, then you need a new lift pump, modded CP3 and 90hp injectors to really get everything out of the stack...then everybody also knows that you need a BIGGER turbo to keep the EGTs in check...then everybody knows that you need head studs when you run over 50 PSI...my little ol lady is probably going to end up leaving me one day!

I like the wtw step bars on mine but I like yours better. Any color will look good.

SoCal, one step at a time. Most changes can be agreed upon in the name of fuel mileage. Just have to figure out how step/nerf bars increase mileage.
