Great choice on the Weathertech visors.

Are the Lund mats comparable in price to the others? Will they hold water? They look sharp for sure.

I paid 200 for the set...but I ordered some other stuff I needed. I am a sucker for those $50.00 summit bucks they send in the mail. Plus I had a couple more in my account.

"Keep the inside of your vehicle looking like new with Lund Catch-All floor protectors. Unlike ordinary floor coverings, the Catch-Alls have a special moisture barrier to protect your vehicle's carpet from water, snow, and mud. Plus, they're Scotchgarded for stain resistance, molded to fit SUV, truck, and van floor areas, and constructed with a patented underside gripper. These floor protectors are OE color-matched to your upholstery and they come available in front and rear sets and cargo mats in 3, 4, and 5-piece sets."

They are light, they have some plastic type barrier on the bottom, I will snap a pic so you can see. I like them a lot so far. Fronts were 105 and rear cargo was 95.

$200 sounds about where I was when purchasing the Husky liners I have.

So prior to the Weather Techs would you get the windshield washer fluid along your driver side window after the wipers cleared the window?

They are available (aftermarket) from either Amazon or ebay. While it is PITA it's what I do waiting for the glow plugs.

Got the starter replaced. Nothing fancy just a new one from NAPA...works great starts like a champ. Old one was not engaging 100% of the time which was a little scary when it is 0degrees outside and this is the first time you have a problem!

Going to do the HID swap..Currently have some LED's and I will take some before and after pics for comparison. To start I ordered this from 1A.. https://www.1aauto.com/ford-grille-a...=807453&y=2005.

I will also order or find a header panel for 2005. So technically doing a front end upgrade...Anything else I need to do? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Art

I was reading another thread in the Super Duty section and Y2K was discussing how the "Nifty" now called Lund Catch All mats were an OEM option. Very cool information he shared. Thread is linked below.

Excursion is looking great too.
