I'd seriously think about relocating that licence plate.

You're asking for law enforcement intervention like that.

BG loos good.

I can't see the pics thanks to my company network. So did you install it yourself or did you pay to have it done like you were planning to do?

A relocation kit will move the plate up to where it's visible. I'd look into that if I were you.

Can't say I've ever noticed/seen a SCab with a 5.5' bed before.

Looks great. Two questions.
1. Are you still able to use your factory tow hooks with that guard? It looks like they're there, but I can't tell for sure in the pictures.
2. I was just thinking, can you still open the hood easily with one of those things on there? Doesn't really look like it, but I'm assuming that's why it's curved outward at the top?

I never realy liked many brush guards for the 04+ F150, but that one looks good.

that is a nice brush guard. where did you get it for $344? i looked around and they are up in the 550-650 range. maybe that's just online being that high.

Are those the Cooper STT (?) If so how are they holding up and do they cause a lot of road noise?
