    Loving the new N-Fab M-RDS Front Bumper. It's pricey but well worth it. It's exactly what I was looking for. Fit the Bill perfectly.

    Now if Bilstein would hurry up and send me my UCAs and 8112s so I can put the suspension upgrades on as well as new Tires and rims.

    Hurry up already Bilstein these Goodyear tires ain't got much life left in them. 53k miles and counting.

    Looks good to me! I have the same one and love it.

    What lightbar did you stick in there? We opted for smaller lightbar (RoughCountry) and stuck some DD fog lights in the same opening.

    Here's what it looks like dirty :p

    I went with a double row 40" curved Rough Country light bar. Fit the entire opening perfectly.

    Almost $2k for a bumper with no accommodation for sensors or a winch? Why did you choose it over the Ironman Raid for over $400 less?

    Pure aesthetics honestly. Why do people buy Ferraris and Lamborghinis when a Carrola will do the job? Lol

    My two top choices were the N-Fab M-RDS and the one you posted. So it came down to a couple things, first I didn't need or want a bumper with a winch, second the N-Fab came with a skid plate the ironman didn't, and third was the bigger opening in the center for a bigger light bar. I weighed out my options on the above cons and pros, then I did the math and the ironman with all their light options was around 2200 before the 100 freight shipping costs and their skid plate was another 800 and it wasn't even available for purchase and had no idea when one was going to be available for purchase. So that put the ironman raid at 3100 bucks and with the N-Fab M-RDS being 2000 with a skid plate and that gave me 1000 for lighting. So in the end I came out cheaper with the N-Fab M-RDS. And I didn't need the sensor openings because my truck didn't have them to begin with
