Check these out...they are AMAZINGLY bright and you can get away with a much smaller footprint that is brighter than those panels (like in your grille):

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

I used those same type you have in your grille when I had my Expedition...they worked, but started to fail after about 6 months (started losing individual LEDs) and were dim compared to these. They are a bit more, but are truly waterproof and crazy bright.

Look for the TIR3, Gen3 or 3w when you look at LEDs...those are the latest technology and brightest - it's what are used in current LED light bars on PD/FD units. Crazy bright and hella durable.

Nice Ex. Where does one put the 2nd fuel tank? Save your $ on the big winch, just get a used one and rebuild it for 1/3 the price.

I just want single shots with 100% nozzles and live tuning.

I do have a few small things already delivered that need to be installed.

Just picked up a 2000 Limited V10 4x4
It is not on the road yet, I have had it at my friends garage and he is doing upgrades and repairs on it. (I kind of blew my whole wad buying the truck and then wasn't able to sell my old F250 and ended up trading it for a little card for my girlfriend, now I have some big *** checks coming so I can actually afford to register it and finish getting it road worthy)

Already done
  • 10 new plugs
  • 10 new coils
  • passenger rear door missing bolts fixed
  • passenger rear running board light fixed
  • new key fob purchased and programmed (I didn't get one with the truck)

To do very soon (within the next 2 weeks)
  • 315x75xR16 Goodyear Duratracs X5 (must have a full spare)
  • Cherrybomb glasspack (really cheap and I like it loud)
  • Gut the Cat (if there are no O2 sensors down stream from it, Anyone know? I haven't had a chance to look)
  • New actuators for the lift gate and driver door
  • New struts for the lift gate (the deluxe extra long ones) http://autopartsbylou.com/lift-suppo...em=48154&qty=2
  • Oil undercoat (this truck is so pretty and not rusty, I am scared it will get destroyed by salt like my F250 did)
  • Front level (temporary to clear the 315's until I can get a proper lift)
  • 2x 10" sub box, amp (picked up cheap at local pawn shop) and low pass filters on the stock sound system

To do after all the above stuff is fixed up

There is probably more stuff that I want that I can't remember right now but that is a good start.
