My toy .. I usually drive it everyday to work although it's not my daily driver, my '04 Explorer is. But this one is cooler
. My wife hates the fact that I have this truck, it's becoming a real money pit, in a good way though. Btw, the stainless grille guard is on it's way, should be on by next weekend. Now I'm focusing on the body lift.

About the headlights, I bought them off Ebay from seller "optionracing". Sometimes they have the headlights and other times don't, just gotta keep watching their auctions. Or I'm sure if you call or email them, they could probably get you a pair. Ran me about $130 + $15 or so for shipping.
About the grille, it's a Stull stainless grille, true replacement. It was a pain in the butt to put in b/c you have to cut out the honeycomb from the front valence, aside from that, it's just a matter of following instructions. I will say that it was worth the effort, well worth it. I love the look.

Hey TKAT do those ventvisors keep the rain out if you have the window open (I know not all of it, but at least the rain that runs inside off the roof)? I don't understand why Ford didn't realize that even if the window is just cracked down a bit the rain just drips right in on the window/door controls on the armrest of the door. Same w/my 03 Explorer as well.

Hey Shawn,
Yes they do keep the rain out if the window is only down about 2 inches. Even if it's a downpour it stays out. I've left them cracked quite a few times and never had any water come in. I've got them on our Explorer too, great there too.
