• Tinted Windows/Bedmat/Toolbox/Lund Bug Deflector/Ventvisors/Extra Horns

• Cat-back Dual Exhaust (Straight pipes with big chrome tips)
• Polar Bear Grille Guard

Looks pretty sweet, tanman! I've always thought those cow-catchers looked out of place on our trucks, like they sort of pulled the front end down, but the more I see, the better I like 'em... Especially on lifted rigs (Oh no, here comes another modification...)

Do you have any pics you could post showing the whole truck with the new piece installed? Haven't seen too many on the regular cab model F150 before.

Thanks.

It looks nice.... I've never been a real big fan of the "straight up and down" frames, though... that's why I got the Manik...


I think the stainless looks better on a white truck too.... Just my .02

The '99-up GSP brush-guards are angled like the Manik/PolarBear guards. D.

 

Thanks again, Tanman... Looks Excellent! By the way... the wife was looking over my shoulder when I was looking at the latest pic. Heard her mutter "oh, my God..." under her breath as she slowly slipped out of the room. Either she REALLY liked your truck or she feels a new mod coming on too!

Tanman,
Looks really good. Do they have a stainless one? Price? I prefer the Manik but can't seem to get one. GIJoeCam, Where did you get your Manik? I got a price of $727.00 Problem is getting one. Seems they have a big back order. Also anybody seen the new Go Rhino 7000 series? It's a stainless chrome. Man does it look good. It doesn't come out for a few months though.

I got mine from a place called Wayne Van in my area... Cheapest I found it online was 675 plus 70 for shipping, and Wayne Van gave it to me for 700 even (I installed it... they wanted another 120 to install it... I laughed at him!). I'm actually getting a new one right from Manik because mine has a dent in it from the factory, and they had to back-order it. I guess I must've gotten the last one in the country! I went with the one piece as well, so that could be a part of it. I will be dropping my film off tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some better pix next week. (digital camera is on the christmas list...)

I haven't seen the new Rhino, but I too had heard one was coming. I'm not exactly sure what "stainless chrome" is, but if it's stainless, it's ok. If it's chrome plated stainless, no beans... It'll eventually chip and peel. The Manik is polished stainless, so I suppose that even mild scratches from brush could be buffed out with a good polishing compound. (I don't plan to find out anytime soon, though...) :-)

Do I see billet grills over the driving lights in the bumpers? Looks like another project. :-)
