That's pretty awesome; it looks stock. How the mounting go? A lot of cut and trim?

Nope, it squeezes right in. You just have to take off the Super Duty mounting bracket and use the Excursion mounting bracket from the original bumper because the Excursion bracket is about half the length of the Super Duty bracket. I was able to do it by myself last night.

I just had to leave the 8 nuts (4 on each bracket) loose until all the bolts were properly popped in under the truck and then tighten them all down with a socket wrench. Air impact gun might have fit but it was late and my battery impact gun is too big to squeeze under the bumper, so I did it the old fashioned way. Disassembly and reassembly went surprisingly well considering I've got a fair amount of rust under my rig. I was able to reuse everything, just doused it all in WD40 while it was off the Ex.

Haven't given it any thought. Should I? Do my current taillight make my rear end look big? lol

Akex and Mecdac have some LED taillights that look pretty snazzy.

U2 =
But that just my opinion after the stunt they pulled with Apple and
that offensive album cover on top of it all.

Didn't make it to U2, bet they put on a great show. I did swap a transmission as the main bearing went out. Much better now.

What was the stunt they pulled with Apple?

The show was pretty good. Audio in CenturyLink stadium sucks, at least for us on the 200 level. My ears are still ringing (not good). The stage was great, but not a lot of energy from the band. They played all the classics, so I was happy for the most part. But wouldn't pay $1 to see them again.

Loading an album onto iPhones,iPads and iPods and making it so you could
not delete them. On top of that they used a cover that looked more like one
guy servicing the other one. Flat out disgusting.

That showed up on all the devices that were connected for updates. Apple
finally got the hint that people were offended and pissed off about it.
