I'm also not huge on the lowered truck look most of the time, but you're definitely doing it right... pull up the exhaust a little and hang it in place, it looks like it bounces when you drive... keep the pics coming!

hey guys sorry i havent been on here in a while. for the fog lights i used just some 1 inch strips on 1/8th inch steel and made my own brackets. the window decal strip i got at a place called surplus city in pa. they sell a bunch of tools and hardware and they had a huge bin of those things each on was like 3 bucks.

Well damn. That's cheap haha. I am thinking about using one on my tailgate. I have a 96 Xl, so it had the ford lettering in the top right of the tailgate about a foot wide. However, it's rubbed off some and I can't find one anywhere. I really like the older ford look with lettering across the whole bumper, so I might just use a decal on it. Do you think it would look clean or kinda trashy haha

Hey I love your truck. I have also lowered one of my trucks with the DJM 3/5 kit. Where did you get your rollpan? Is it fiberglass or metal? Also, how did it mount? If you could show a picture of that it would be great. Sorry for so many questions, but I cant find any pictures/write-ups of installing METAL rollpans on these trucks, and I've been wanting to buy one for 2 years now.. lol. Thanks!
