Productive Weekend........

Got a few 'upgrades' done this weekend. 1st was some 'new to me' tires for the winter, still 305/70's but toyo m/t's in place of the worn no name a/t's........


next, in went an '08 center console I got a great deal on (IMO) the color isn't quite right but it'll do 'til I can get it sprayed .....


and Clay's new improved switch panel and a few new switches.....

you guys should see it in person compared to the old winter tires. these almost pass as something he could run on the truck year round instead of looking like it's got the wheels from my mustang on it hahaha.

Now that there is a nice looking truck Pete.

I think I just found what I should be searching for as my daily driver.

What approximately would I be looking at, cost wise for the 05 front conversion?

Thanks Rick.
The headlights are '05 Ford OEM from Clay, just over $290. The grill was on the truck when I bought it but they are on flea-bay all the time but Jim (Megawatt00) I believe has a connection to get them for a pretty good price. I would PM him before buying one, he might be able to help you out.

Thanks Jay. That bumper is factory. The Platinum Edition package included that bumper without the lower valance.
