    thanks for all the complements guys, I had that truck for about 2 years with the bumper on it, and loved it. I'll miss it, but the f-250 is actually cheaper to drive to the better milage, the explorer got 14 and the two fiddy gets 17 city... Will be building a nicer version of the bumper for the F-250 as soon as I have access to a place to do it, or find a house to buy. (apartment for the next 6 months :( )

    I imagine they are the same lights, but these came from a lot purchase on fleabay, they were a little cheaper than harbor freight. I got rid of the stupid H3 bulbs that came in them and put some GE sealed beams originally intended as aircraft landing lights. They were bright as hell. The next bumper will probably have them internal to the bumper road armor style.

    Here is a link to the build thread on the exploder

    it would be a cool thing to have, I loved both of mine, only thing is when you start modding them the milage goes way down. When I first got my black one it got about 21 on the highway, after the winch bumper and 31's it got about 15-17. I didn't regear, which was part of the problem, but it still pulled great up hills and over obstacles.

    beautiful truck! I have always loved the old 6.9 IDI's. Great engine's, reliable. Beats any of the newer ones i think i would take a 6.9 over a 6.7 any day

    Thanks man. I do really like it, and the fact that it has a manual would make me pick it over a new one lol, I do not care for automatic transmissions. Check out the build thread in my sig for more pics.
