If the lower part of your door is gold, then I would do the lower part of the bumper gold.

All my stuff is aftermarket and I think from that seller, other than the headlight plugs and bumper brackets. It seems to be very good quality. It's the same stuff the body shops use.

But than it wouldn't line up with the trim on the truck.

I do think white trimmed lights would look pretty awesome on that setup. Just saw the pic of yours, yeah, definitely gold bumper!

It is 2wd. I like it low for the best possible mileage. The main things I looked for when buying the X was the newest 7.3 possible, 2wd, stock, and no rust. I've done the lifted big tire truck deal when I was younger. My plow truck has 33x12.5" tires though.

my list for today
Ok This may not seem like much, but my mechanical skills are pretty poor and I am new to the diesel:
-Changed the oil/filter - Shell Rotella/Wix
-Changed the fuel filter - Wix
-Changed the Air filter - STP
-Got new 285/75/16 Toyo AT's
-Swapped out 3 shocks Lost the light and was too dark for me to finish (figured 3 hours took 5). Shocks were original. I will finish the last one in the morning. I would have it all done, if I didnt stop for an hour to order some goodies from RiffRaff (ordered the HPx, FRx, 6637, Fumoto valve and a backup CPS)

2000x 7.3 liter 2wd Limited, all stock, 170k

Smile My X and I

First all I try take it in to Ford to get an extra key cut and programmed but the service department was closed. Then tried taking it to a eletronic shop to get my new remote starter program, have one remote order another set of keys with remote. Then I took it to Town & Country got an oil change and new air filter 153 bucks, then topped it off with diesel another 78 bucks so pretty much made a tiny dent in the wallet.

I ejected a spark plug and towed her back home from 50 miles away.

Found that the roof is starting to peel, so going to sand the area tomorrow and prep for some paint.
