Once you get the new ones, take the adjuster ***** off via the two small Allen screws on the plate and load the cavity the **** goes into with white lithium grease. That should keep them functioning much easier and for much longer in your climate. Give them a couple of coats of clear too.

just found a shop to transfer the guts of the 2000 gasser to the 2001 diesel and paint her pearl white for $3500. I want low profile metal bumpers that can be painted the same color as the car

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zdFEkqJl04U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


to clarify - $3500 to swap 2000 gasser white interior to red diesel 2001 - and paint diesel pearl white.

CFD059 NEW 05 06 07 Ford F250 F350 F450 Super Duty Chrome Front Bumper Combo 5C3Z17757BA, 6C3Z17D957BAPTM, 5C3Z17626AAA,5C3Z8200EAB, 5C3Z13008CA, 5C3Z1300A


Razzi - says I should buy this however - they don't sell the REAR bumper - need to paint it - non chrome and they don't have outside large mirrors - need those smooth to be painted as well.

Hi Tech is great to deal with. Last time I was there (a couple of months ago), they had lots of mirrors.

They said they don't have

a. Mirror
B. a rear bumper to match that set for the front


Need advice on where to find both of those items. The mirrors need to be smooth so they can be painted. as well as the bumper

I would get the all black set and slap it on. Don't even paint it. My excursion is toreador red, and I just got rid of all the tan on the exterior. Converted it all to black or removed it. Looks 10x better now. Got black rims, too.
