He He....Buckaroo Banzai ...Haven't thought of that TV show in years..... Thanx for that...

But Buckaroo had a modded Ford E100 van from what I can recall, so an F150 won't get you to the 8th dimension......... But we can always try...

3/8" - 16 part # 665-1961
You'll also need a couple of 3/8" - 16 x 1½" bolts.

I should be able to reuse the bolts on my 2010, I hope.

Eventually a "big ***" lower bumper grille.

The flavor will depend on the grille above it that I settle-on. *So's they'd match.

Waffling on ...
  • FX2 ( currently have a hacked-off insert )
  • Platinum ( blacked-out )
  • Honeycomb ( would need to be fabricated )
  • or ?????
As an interim, I'll probably install a section of gutter guard ( painted black ) to keep the big chunks out.

The ideal combo' would be the Raptor pieces fabricated to fit. *Funds (currently) don't allow for that.

Yes you will be able to use your existing hardware.

*Sorry ... Missed the 2010 notation in your sig'.
