same with me, my receiver went through the cars front end and cracked his radiator. he also had a crumpled hood. my hitch bracket was bent, roll pan scuffed and tailgate dented, but it probably wouldnt have done anything if i had the factory bumper in there...

No worries. I get hit hard enough it actually bent both my hitch brackets and warped my hit some. Bent the frame slightly right where the bumper mounts. Ofcourse the bumper and tailgate were no more. Slight dent on the back of the cab where the bed hit. Crumpled my bed floor slightly also. Everything else about the bed was ok though.

Have you driven any on the new tires yet, and what gears do you have? I have looked at those tires and others thinking of moving to a smaller, more performance oriented tire in sunner.

Sounds nice But I was wondering what kind of FX2 valence that was or if you modified it? Because FX2 valences have round fog lights, not rectangular ones. It looks really good!

That was originally my chrome 04 bumper. I ground off the chrome, painted it. I had to slightly modify the valance to make it fit the bumper though. Took about 2 minutes of grinding on the back side to make it work. If you look for it, you can tell. To most people though it looks 100% completely factory.

Took about 1.5 hours with a "flapper" wheel. Then about an hour of sanding by hand.

That's the plan.

Im helping run the mustangtrends.com car show at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis on saturday. I'm sure I'll get quite a few good pictures there.
