Cool Stupid Wild Hog

So I hit a hog on the way home lastnight and now I need a new front bumper. I have a foglight less bumper now and want to get a new one with factory foglight holes. I'm going to buy the right year style for my 04 XLT which are the square ones. I'm just curious if anyone has a really good website to find one shoot me a line. I should be able to reuse the lower valance. It doesnt seem to have gotten that damaged.

No I didnt throw it in the back. Their was a whole family of them I wanted to shoot them all. We have a severe overpopulation problem of them in S. Fla. I found a repalcement bumper but not sure if it has the foglight brackets with it. I have hids in my truck already so dont know how much brighter I can get out of just adding foglights.

Foglights will help big time man. I roll around all night with them on all the time. Especially around here I don't want to hit a deer on the back roads home.

ha just saying my foglight hids were brighter than my hid heads. i never used them on the road though because they make seeing impossible to oncomming traffic.

check ebay for the bumper. there is a store on ebay that sells oem style replacement bumpers for pretty cheap. someone had a thread on here about them awhile back.

That sounds like a great opportunity to replace the crappy stock bumper with something that's built more than Ford Tough!
