there's carbon fiber everything now. not cheap but it beats abs plastic. I've got a 4wd and this is made for a 2wd so off comes the tow hooks I don't/won't use (I have road side assistance). I found it when I was using my nephew's lap top and now I gotta try and find it again. It replaces all the stuff on the front and has round holes for bright running lights. The styling is far better than anything I've seen.

 

FedEx payed a visit - 2 recent shipments came in..

These came in last week - 2004-2008 Badges/Emblems.
My current badges are dirty, worn, and torn to ****... found a st of 3 badges on ebay for only 8$ for the set - and bought them right away as they sell for 30$ EA at the dealer.

I could have replaced them with the same style badges as original but find these to look much much better and should flow nicely with what i have once installed. Just waiting on some warmer weather to get'er done.


mmm nice.


Another shipment came in yest.
Have been searching for a cluster for several months. Found one before Christmas but when shipped the local postal service decided to scam me and keep the package. Contacted several scrap yards and found one in northern Ontario and bought it asap. These 97-98 w/t tach are def hard to come by esp in km/h.

Out with the old...
What a pain removing these things without a tilt steering wheel. geeze


In with the new...
Much much better, I can see where my rpms are when cruising on the hwy etc. Also modified it to show my current kms as well..
How tachs are not installed on every vehicle is beyond me, WTF manufacturers lol

 

im wanting to put a tach on my truck how hard was all the wiring for this? anything i might run into... dont care for km/h just a cluster with a tach or even a gage pod mounted tach... thats not huge...lol

 

i know there are threads on how to ad an after market tach on here.. simple search will bring it up.

in regards to this, the cluster was simply plug and play although like i said i re calibrated the odometer myself which i don't recommend. in 00+ i don't know what you would do though.

 

Lookin' Good. I also bought some NBS emblems off ebay for like $10.

 

truck looks good man cant wait to see whats to come!

 

ordered a few things

 

With the 0-160 speedo, do you have to do any recalibrating or does the computer just see it and do it on it's own? Mine is only a 0-100.

 

Never mind, I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice the whole Km/h thing.

 

lol was gonna say... no worries most don't realize its km right away either

so another 2 shippments came in yest... ups and fed ex...

this was fedex's...

97-98 Expedition Center Console... 55$
imo super rare to find.. been looking for several months to find a decent one at decent cost... esp in Canada


its tan/beige now... but will take it apart and paint to match my interior etc. afterwards.


mmm STORAGE


issue is.. i have a 60/40 front captainchair+bench... soo guess some customization will have to come into play.

 

I think the Expidition or the Navigator center console fits the
f-150. It gives you a platform to mount a floor shift within reach.

 

yes it does.. only if you have 2 seperate captains chairs... but not if you have the half bench like i do.. so have to modify my seat

 

ordered these at the beginning of the week and showed up on friday...

power window kit... only cost me $60
includes all necessary hardware, illuminated switches, wiring, emergency crank tool, etc


waiting for warmer day to install - can't wait for power lol

 

where did you order these from? ive got a '98 with manual windows and im trying to convert them to power

 

Same here man. I have a 2005 with manual windows and that kit looks like the rest ive seen. Im soo over cranking up the windows on the highway. A little not safe.
