one day at Bunnings (Ozzie hardware store)

the carpark was full so I parked the truck inside:

It's got the rock-strainer grill, US 2005 headlight upgrade, leveling kit, single steering damper, and the 6" MBRP s/s can exhaust tip (aka some beginner mods).

Headlights are the US2005 models - can be bought from Riff Raff - to fit them you have to cut away some of the fibreglass header panel behind the stock lights and make up the wiring harness. The cutting is an easy operation esp if you have a Dremel tool (good excuse to buy one of those too). For the harness, I just bought some relays, H4 plugs and inline fuses from ebay/Jaycar and wired up my own with upgraded 90/100w bulbs.
The grill strainers bolt into the gaps in the stock grill, I found them on eBay as well.
You can buy the US2005 grill and fit in, but that also takes some cutting.
Keep your eyes open and stuff comes up pretty regularly here and in the US.
You don't have to pay the AUD$1000+ prices that the Aussie retailers want for 'billet' grills.

They look like they are the Harley lights, no?
Mine has the 05 headlights too - just not the blacked out surrounds:

yep, they are the US2005 Harley model lights - they have the black surround inserts.

Dollars are a bit tight for me now so I can see myself being in a situation to do my next mods. I would love to do the 38R turbo change over, 4" turbo back exhaust, DP tuner with about 10 tunes, Mishimoto IC change over, bigger trans cooler, the transmission shift body upgrade, 8 spot caliper upgrade, R4tech air-assist rear suspension upgrade with Rancho in-cab adjustable dampers and ideally in-cab level setting - the last one to make towing horses real comfy for the horses and to be able to hook up the horse float without even getting out of the cab - how cool would that be? Anyway this list is now the next '5 year plan'.
See what owning an F250 does to you?
