Use the truck like it's meant to be used, not a pavement pounding, mall crawling queen.

Looks good! Grilles look good too! Now get PTM bumpers and it'll all come together nicely.

Thanks again for all your praise! This is like the icing on a really big brown cake! As for the bumpers, I have tossed around the idea of ptm but I'm rather partial to the "right amount of chrome" look. Chrome bumpers are very trucky and aggressive imo. I was wanting to maybe change the running boards to chrome as well.

Where did you get or how did you make that bumper insert grill???

That is totally sweet! And leave the bumpers alone I think you have just the right amount of chrome and paint. My only suggestion is go to patriot decals and do something with the blue ford emblems!

Its all homemade. I just got an old used grill from my buddy johnny2724 and fired up the old band saw and went to town. I used some aluminum angle to mount the honeycomb to the bottom of the bumber. It was a huge pain in the butt to get it straight and tight since I was only fastening it to the bottom edge. The lower section it just sandwiched and screwed. I'll throw a picture up.
