Just for the record, I though of some more pictures

 

Got some bigger tires did ya? Lookin' good mana!

 

Yep! Thanks mate

I was browsing & when I saw my truck on Page 2, I realized how funny it looked before

 

Greenbuck did you do the sanding on the handles yourself or did the shop do it? If so did you take apart the handles into 2 pieces for the sanding?

 

i'm telling ya get some fender flares and get Lariat Badges but your truck looks really good it's one of my fav screws

 

I actually got an awesome deal on some DSG handles on eBay so I used those three and bought the other two primed from Ford. I had the shop paint all of them.

 

I hear ya... I actually walked up to a Lariat one day on the street and looked at the flares but they are not my thing... I like the truck without them. Also, I love the fact that it is an XL with all of this stuff I have done to it so want to keep it that way with the badges. Thanks for your compliment... your Expy is nice also... I always liked how nice some of the Expys on the road are. I'm gonna make a new sig with the pic that I posted... it may take a bit though.

 

Yeah, I feel the same way about mine when I look at it. I'm due for new tires now, the BFGs I have on now have 140,000 miles on them, so I'm gonna go bigger this time. Only problem is, I'll have to stick with the 17" wheels (haven't been able to find bigger wheels in a 7 lug pattern) so I can only go so big, I think 305s. Btw, I didn't know those factory wheels came in 20"

 

Guess I need to add to the XL cause. Here's my 2004 XL. Current mods: XLT mirrors, XLT console, ElectraLife power windows and locks, Bell Auto overhead console, XLT ac vent rings, Bilsteins leveling shocks, 295/70/17 Nitto Grapplers, 17x8 Eagle Alloy wheels

 

and now for some interior mods

 

How did you attach the overhead bins? Did you have to cut on the door panel to install the switches there? Looks good man.

 

The overhead consoles are simply velcroed and taped. I just used the velcroe and didn't bother using the doublesided tape provided with them. There really stuck on pretty good. I was going to get a OEM overhead console, but I would of had to cut the headpanel. Besides these consoles made by Bell automotive don't look that bad and really have more storage than your basic factory console. I was really wanting the factory console that has the rails that go all the way to extra cab, but I couldn't find one at the time. But these serve the purpose.....holds cd's, glasses, and junk.

As for the switches, yea, you have to cut the door to mount them. Its not that bad though. They provide a template to help mark and cut the right needed hole to mount them. I just used a dremel tool with a cutting disk to cut the square holes, only took a few minutes to do that. The whole process wasn't that bad as it seems.

 

Some nice looking rigs in here for sure guys

 

here's mine!

Truck looks good UK! You have the same window kit I put in. All in all a very easy mod to do IMO. Did your truck come w/ cruise control, or did you add that as well? Just curious, most XLs don't come with it and I had to add mine. I'd post a pic of where I put my switches, but those pics are in my "old" gallery and I don't think you post pics from the old galleries.
