this is where i got mine from
you could try giving them a call and seeing if they still have some (they still had like 2 00-02 and one or two 03 styles when i got mine)
theyre off of wrecked trucks but any competent body shop can fix them up like new
oh and it would help if you speak spanish lol...
how much did you pay for yours from these guys?

im pretty sure i paid 150-200 for it

it was from a wrecked truck so it needed some body work. I think i paid like 350 to have my whole front bumper + the valence painted

Did a little unintentional off roading this weekend. Driving down a country road with no shoulder and I drifted off to the right a little. Front right tire dropped off the road and sucked my truck down into the ditch. I was going 40+ mph at the time and the passenger side of my truck ended up in the bottom of the ditch and the drivers side might have still been on pavement, not sure. The ditch has to have atleast a 60 degree angle. Some how i cut the wheel to the left and didnt flip, instead it just sling shotted my truck out of the damn ditch. Im pretty confident that my truck being lowered saved my life, my center of gravity has to be considerably lower than a normal f150. Knowing how these trucks take rollovers, this couldve ended up so much worse than it did and I can tell yall that ive never loved my f150 more than I do now.

You can see the tire mark from my passenger side tire. And the bare spot of gravel right to the left is where my trans crossmember shaved the earth lol


Rim was completely caked in mud. Only casualty of this incident was the inner fender on this side..


On a lighter note, heres a cool pic of my buddies KR. Hopefully next time hes in town I can get a few pics with him

Glad to see your ok Travis. Hopefully, your truck doesn't decide to start hating you again.
