Was that an accident or theft? Either way it doesn't look good.

Noticed you have black fender vents to match truck colour rather than the red ones for 6.4 Diesel. I have a 6.4L diesel in white/pueblo Gold two tone. I changed the red fender vent to be the same tan as in the front grille insert. Glad to see someone else did something to the red vent colour.

Sorry to see your truck damaged though.

Wierd thing is when you get to the point where you can take the insert out of the grille it is way easier to take the whole surround with it. You get to a point where you can do what was done here and pop the insert out of a couple dozen tabs in the back and take it out or you can just lift the whole grille off of its spring clips and walk away.

You cought me 66Stang I did this I sent everything to get blacked out, The bumpers, flares and grill are getting painted black it is a FX4 so everything was grey and all the lights headlights, tail lights roof and mirror lights are getting black tinted. for the stealth look. I will post pics of this finished product hopefully by the end of the week.

Pilot yes I painted the red grill insert made a world of difference when you lok at the truck than the red one!!!!

Yeah ti just didn't add up. I wasn't going to call you out on it directly just in case there were some really stupid thieves out there. Check out my gallery to see my solution to the grille and side vents and tailgate.

Bucky44 you had me going there for a minute. I did think to myself odd that the rear lights and bumper are missing but the tailgate isnt damaged. Then I was like it would be a touchy subject for me so Im not going to get into it.
Joker! I bet its gonna look real nice when its done. Cant wait to see the pics.

With that angled "tank" on the bottom I believe the unit in front is the intercooler and not the radiator.
