What did you do with the tail lights you pulled off of it? I might be willing to buy them or trade them for things I've pulled off of my 04 since i bought it. I've got factory wheels with brand new tires, rain guards for all 4 windows, a bug deflector and chrome nerf bars if anyone is interested....

Still have them, just swapped them out today...excellent shape...just not my style.

What kind of wheels and tires do you have?

don't really know where the previous owner was going with the whole chrome/street/pimp look with an FX4? it doesn't look terrible, just not my taste for a dark colored fx4. sounds like you got some good plans for it though! and can't beat finding one with that low of mileage

Haha yeah I feel the same way...it actually looked better in person than it looked online when I saw it.

It was in such great shape with such low mileage I couldn't pass it up. I'm happy with it for now. Like I said earlier, leveling kit and at least new tires, probably new wheels as well.

It does have dual exhaust but I'm not exactly sure what kind it was already on the truck when I bought it. It sounds really good whatever it is.
usually you can crawl up underneath and look on the muffler and see a brand of some sort; unless its straight pipes. :-)
you could also take note if its a true duel system or a single in double out.

I love exhaust

I'm glad you saved this truck. Jeez Louise I can't stand those all chrome handles. Leaving the chrome middle looks great though. Really dresses the truck up without looking gaudy.

Yeah I looked but can't tell what brand it is. It is a single in and dual out. I need to look again and see if I can read anything on it, so far I can't.

The all chrome handles make the truck look so cheap. I figured I would leave the middle part for a while and see if it like it. So far I think it looks good. If I change out wheels I'll probably take them off.
