The grill has minimal impact ... I still get a good, solid beam of light.

I'll second this. I had Hella 500's behind the grill in the 99, and they're moving to the same location in the '03.

Good to hear. I have a set of Light Cannons taken off the bike. Should work well there.

Congrats on 10 years with your truck I had my 2005 F150 little over 10 years before I got rid of it. I had it from November 5th 2005 bought brand new only 10 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Traded it in for a used F150 2013 XLT ecoboost but only had 4 days as I got it at Carmax and did the return policy within their 5 day window. Then got a 2012 Mustang GT as the 2013 was a open rear end truck and after a few days thought about how much I would miss a V8 so went to the Mustang Gt as I knew it had a V8 under the hood and limited slip diff. Well traded the old truck off on January 21st 2016 and it had 198,318 miles on it when I traded it off. There are some days I wish I would have kept either my old 2005 or kept the first replacement vehicle instead of having this Mustang GT. After 5 months with this car I'm seriously thinking of going back to a F150 in the fall.

Now it’s 20 years… Still got the truck! Got about 140,000 miles on it, still runs like a champ, and still looks decent too… Overall been a very solid truck!

Nice to see you still around! I have the same mileage on my '04 and just started working towards my 18th year with mine.

Still love that factory plus look yours has 👍

My 03 has 211k on it now. It's rusting away. I will have had it for 20 years this fall.

l did “upgrade” to a ‘25 F150 Tremor about a year ago … very different from my ’99!

The ‘99 is in pretty good shape and is worth so little money, I’ll probably just hang on to it…
