I did that at first, but it didn't make enough of a difference. I added a set of Rigid backup lights under the rear bumper. They are super bright, brighter than most peoples headlights!! Now I can actually see in reverse. They are expensive and cheaper alternatives are available that would do the job just fine.

Well, I swapped out my old fog light housing for a new one so now both of them are new.

I got my replacement 32" curved and my smaller 9" light bars in so I sealed them up with some clear RTV. I also got waterproof connectors so I can easily remove them, and hopefully next time another shop does it they'll just disconnect at the connectors instead of cutting my wiring harness apart (which I have to remake).

I also got some replacement fog lights in the event my 9005s go out (I was able to save those)... these 9006s fit the housings just fine so long as you replace the O-ring with a slightly smaller one, make a solid seal, too.

I also swapped out my left and right air dams because the bottoms had split and they were just hanging there. Apparently that's pretty standard for these after a couple of years.

Now I just need to make a new harness and, hopefully, get the light bars mounted on the bar tomorrow. It's just so bleedin' cold out that it's difficult.

Thanks man. Haven't really decided on the color scheme yet. Just did the gloss black for the time being.

I think it would look great PTM, with the exception of the mesh, leave it black

FORD would really stand out

Got my oil pressure gauge installed! Matches the interior perfectly. Hot idle is 17-18 psi, not the best but pretty good for a 155k engine.

Gauge off (Glowshift tinted series)



Gauge on (cold engine):
