well the grill finally came today! so right after work i put it on...i'll have to get some daylight pics tomorrow after my buddy wetsands and buffs the truck(removing pinstripe) she should be very shiny!
i still dont think it looks mean enough though, needs a light bar and corner lights and maybe another "move over" sticker lol
stock...ofcourse
the new grill, which i plan to add a ford emblem to it somtime soon

the grill looks good, of course you know i like the way it looks already. what kind of bumper lights you thinking about? i was gonna get these for mine. if you look close at my passenger side bumper light you can notice moisture got in the houseing, the bulb heated up, and it took the "chrome" off the inside housing leaving just the gray plastic (ugly)
. i bought them off ebay and the seller wont help me get a new replacement, i like these more anyhow. still smoked and true leds with built in resistor. it appears that the leds are sealed with only wires out of the back so this wont happen again (i hope). your truck is looking good keep it up!

Iron Bull makes some sturdy bumpers. They get a kinda crazy with the tubing - makes the truck look like the front bumper weighs more than the truck.
Sure makes the front droop...180# +50#winch

no no no, i love the tan cladding. only reason i removed the trim off my old one is it was a XLT so it wasnt a big deal. the tan cladding is what shows it as a limited i really like the 2tone.
i like the tan deflector without the pinstripe but might just be me.
thanks i'm pretty happy with how it looks. i wanna get the rear lifted. add LED corner lights, some other LED lighting. possibly some chrome step bars to replace the tan running boards.
i'm looking at buying the same american racing wheels i had on my old excursion. also in 20" size with the same tires. except brand new...we'll see how the $$ works out. i gotta get summer wheels/tires for the expedition first before i can worry about it.

I'd like to have you tan running boards for my pickup. I just picked up a set of black ones from an X and they look good, but tan would look better on my gold truck. You should be able to get some $ for them on CL.
The wet sand/buff turned out nice!

that maybe be. i just have a odd sense of style some have said. like my explorer. i mixed the look of a street truck with lift and bigger tires...i like doing my own thing. i dont think a truck or car has to be exactly one "type" of modified. why cant it be alittle street, alittle offroad, alittle fast? idk thats just me. i'd agree i'm different and have my own style 
i dont sell any of my stock parts. because i never know when i may change my mind or need it. lol
