LOL, I figured they were old pics, but the truck looks great!

Thanks Summers.
I had been shopping for a new one when the Eco first came out.
Got this old '04 instead and love it.
Still only 85,000 miles and runs like new.
Still although not as showy as yours.

You made the right choice

Well USPS just delivered my Glowshift oil pressure gauge! It was sold as "used, like new" but this thing is packaged in original box and has protective film still on the face! Not bad for $25 shipped. Waiting on the sandwich adapter and I can install. Bye-bye coin holder, hello oil pressure gauge. Really hoping my pressures are good........fingers crossed.

Mine has more dings and knicks that pics show, but it cleans up nicely! I keep going back and forth on a newer one. As with all 5.4's, I am never 100% confident in the motor, but a new motor is way less than a new truck is what I keep telling myself. So far 155K trouble free miles.

Made a custom grill using stock surround, staintless steel bolts, and expand metal. Still have to finish painting it but love the way it looks. Will have a custom emblem soon

Nice work! That gives me ideas! Wonder if they have black anodized stainless bolts........where did you get those bolts?

Make sure to post pics once u get that in, and let me know how difficult it is...I was thinking about getting one of those!

Will do. There is a nice write-up here by MHOWELL34. Its pretty straight forward. Amazing how we both have 2wd and they are a totally different direction from each other.
