Figured I'd do this now rather than later. It also won't be in any kind of order since I did take pictures of stuff in most cases but did it in a different order. I figured I'd do this in case people are doing the same things I have done and have any questions.
First off, the changeover from '02 to '05 front end:
Here is my truck. Note that did have the 'cut' '05 grille as well as the '05 lights
Removal of lights and grille, here you can see how hacked up the original header panel was to install the lights
Original header panel removed
Everything removed from front.
Updated '05 header panel installed along with the lights.
Front bumper installed along with freshly painted bumper pad and lights
Test fitting an original '05 grille. You can't see if from here but the ford emblem was pretty shot and the 'chrome' on the grille was bubbling off
Here it is with the '07 Lariat Highline Grille. I'm not 100% on this or getting the standard '05-07 grille.
