    I like my N-Fab light bar though it'll be replaced by a full bumper shortly

    So you got hit from behind and your front bull bar got the dent?..hahahaha. (just messing with you)

    OP, choose what you like because it's your truck. Personally, I been through those phases on mine from chrome bull bar to N-fab light bar to now All Pro bumper.

    Dude I got a Bull Bar for my 2013 TRD. Mainly for the Jack A__ es that back in to your truck so I put it on. I like it went with an Aries. I will replace it in a couple years once she gets some miles on her to a ARB.

    In my opinion, The NFab bar looks a lot cleaner and is much stronger the the bull bars.

    Check out the build
    I saw that you already order a the Westin bar.

    I guess for others with the same question I would go NFab. It looks much cleaner, it's minimal (since bull bars don't offer protection), and it doesn't affect your approach angle.

    The comment of a plate bumper sticking out more doesn't make sense to me. Most after market bumpers don't stick out that far. Even with an ARB (which is what I have), when you add up the stock bumper, the bull bar, the gap in between them, and possibly the lights sticking out in front, I would say they probably stick out more than a plate bumper.
