I agree with hasteranger. On all points. So much so that this is what I did:





ABOVE: Genuine Ford Accessory front fender flares line up perfectly with Warn front bumper extension flares for hidden kit. Stock 31.5" tires shown.

BELOW: "PowerStroke by International License Plate cover completely conceals the Warn Roller Fairlead. Winch? What winch? Do you see a winch?

Looking very good Y2KW57. My truck will primarily be used on the farm so looks for me is not as important as it might be for others.
