yeah, that's the tricky part. I think that the black accents against the white and tan background don't quit look as good as your '06 King Ranch. That one has a main body color that's a dark gray or blue, right?

Thanks man it's my baby. Almost traded it last week for a diesel and couldn't do it. And never really thought of a black grille.. Maybe a color matched one I don't wanna go too much black with my color scheme. Personally I like having a little bit of black and chrome it's not over doing either one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for light bar mounts? I have A 50" on the way and I need mounts for it. And I'm not spending $150+ on mounts.

Updated new pic of the front end. I'm unsure about the light bar I'm still iffy about that one. I ordered switchbacks too but they are all kinds of screwed up.

I would drop it down in front of the Yakima shield thing.

Honestly for light output sake I think where it sits is good. If you had mounts that put the bar at roof level but ahead of the windshield that would be ideal though.

I'd suggest a leather seat cover upgrade with seat heaters, seat coolers and lumbar support. I got mine at http://www.leatherseatcoverhq.com/ford-f150.html. I also added as set of 3D floor liners with a carbon fiber look and my interior now looks awesome.

I hate to spend that kinda money on brackets tho as this was a gift and I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna keep it. I haven't wired it yet we were just getting mounting ideas. Gonna leave it like it is for a couple days and see how it grows on me before I wire it and how it's gonna hold up.

I installed my switchback led turn signals the other day, I didn't get the ones with resistors. They glow orange and blink white. Will resistors fix this or did I get screwed and sent the wrong bulbs? And also wired up my light bar I love it and for a $120 eBay bar I'm not complaining at all.
