Finally got around to washing it today, started Thursday, but Turkey got in the way! It really seems to get dirty considering it just sits most of the time! Does anyone have any ideas how to get the staining off the "stainless" exhaust tips? I tried "nevr dull" and it helped, but there are still stains that kinda look like a blob like rainbow?

DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap
 
I have Gibson headers and they were melting the swaybar bushing on the passenger side. Hopefully this solves the problem.

What kind of rack do you have?

Welcome to FTE and nice truck! I take it you were asking about my roof rack. The rack is Surco brand. So far It has served it's purpose. Carries the canoe or any extra luggage. Read this about it though https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...oof-racks.html. If I could do it again I would have had a local metal shop build a custom rack - as suggested by members of this forum. Updated my signature too...

Your truck is very nice also. We had a custom made rack on a old Chevy Suburban...but it was heavy (steel)..Wanted to make one out of Aluminum, but can't weld Alumimum. would have to have someone weld it. So considering the cost right now. Saw one on this site made from electrical conduit. Wonder if that would be strong enough.

I blacked out my rims and front grille inserts. I like the undercover look a lot so i rolled with it. I'm gonna be trying out some BFG 305-65R18 tires on a 2 inch lift so this is temporary. I wasn't sure if I'd like it but I'm glad i did it. I use one can of flat black rust stop from Ace. It gave me a stealth look that looked even better with the chrome cap. I'm seriously thinking of going flat black on the entire grille and bumpers. I hope the wife puts those tires under the tree..I will even settle for some headlights. lol

that looks nice bro! i been wondering how black rims and grill would look on our color Excursions! :-jammin

looks like Im going to paint my rims black and do my grill..my buddy has a sign shop and im going to hit him up if he can spare some flat black car wrap vinyl to do my front and rear bumpers.



Now today just finished up changing up my sub woofer setup. went from a Rockford Fosgate P1 12inch to dual RF15inch 2ohmDVC in a sealed enclosure.

Thanks I'm glad a brother in color appreciates it. I really though hard about doing this as i knew there was no turning back. I wish I had bigger wheels sooner but oh well, gotta wait another 8 weeks. I was thinking of a 2 in. lift but looking at yours I'm reconsidering 5-6 in. lift. on some 35's.

I like your set up thou. I'm just curious but how you get in and out of that thing? And when your at the drive throu do you have to open the door and get your food from under the door or what do you do?
