Looks good Texas! I had one of those on my pickup until a deer decided to take it out...... along with my radiator and all my coolers.

His profile says F250 but that doesn't mean it's the same truck. Looks good.

That's the only thing I don't like about them is they tend to give if you hit something as opposed to the full bumper replacement. I have one on my X and love it.

It's an 06 F250. I like the looks of the grill guard over the full replacement (gotta leave a little bit of chrome on the truck!) but agree that it is a little less rigid. It will still help in the event of a crash, and more particularly animals in the road. This particular grill guard has claimed several already with nary a scratch (it was on my dad's truck before I got it... was black before, and I just got it painted before installing).

I really like how the light covers turned out.... I had them painted the same color as the grill guard.

The interior really needed a cleaning so I pulled all the seats in my crew cab to do it properly.

Rear bench was held with 2 x 18mm nuts and 2 x T55 bolts.
Front seats were held with 1 x 18mm nut and 3 x T55 bolts each. Impact wrench made it an easy job. 18mm socket has to be a deep one.

Center console was held with 4 x 8mm bolts.

Tray behind rear bench was held with 3 x 8mm bolts.

It isn't too bad Gerry. I guess you get used to it.
One is my Edge CTS, another is GPS, another is Blackberry holder.

I think photo angle makes it look more obnoxious than it is. I have an extension cable for the Edge and I'm working on mounting it above rear view mirror.

Colm, I've been wanting to do that for so long. The previous owner had kids who either liked to drop candy or crayons in between the seats. Can't really tell but really want to either clean the carpet or replace completely.
