Got my truck painted

[Expedition]

wow im clueless lol is there any write-up for this? and for reverse lights what did you do?

 

[SG1NUT]

For the reverse lights: At first, I welded some cheap driving lights to the hitch receiver. But I wasn't very happy with that route, and I drilled some holes in the reverse light housing. I put the halogen bulbs in the holes. It works pretty well.

 

[Expedition]

so you have two bulbs in the reverse housing? i already looked at some 07/08 tails in person and and the back of the housing (the black part) i noticed there were three holes but only 2 of them are used, couldnt the third hole be used?

 

[SG1NUT]

I can't quite remember what you mean by that. I drilled throught the top of the reverse housing straight down, and dropped the bulb down through the hole.

 

[Expedition]

could you do me huge favor and take pictures in the sunlight? with the turn signal on and then the reverse, then how the bulbs are set up? if wouldn't be to much trouble, because i would really like this on my expy

How'd you remove the front grill to put those lights in?

Thanks,
Ry

that is a nice lookin whip man! are you secret service? lol

elvato, where do you get those emblems?

 

[ELVATO]

They are vinyl overlays. Seems I've had them over a year now (based on the date of my post ) and no problems. Good company, and great customer service.

Looks good all blacked out. Some black wheels and you'd be a regular knight rider expedition! Do you have a problem with the grille guard moving side to side at certain speeds?

 

[SG1NUT]

Yes, the push bumper does move around a bit. Not enough to create an issue though.

As for the black wheels, I have been thought about painting the original steel wheels black. I will have to reconsider it now.

Is your brush guard for a 2004? I couldn't find one listed for that model year.

 

[SG1NUT]

Yes, the push bumper is for the 2004 model year.

I believe that any push bumper from 2003-2006 should fit though.

Sorry to pull up an older thread; I am looking for inspiration. Your truck looks amazing.

 

[fordfurious]

nice, i like the all black look

 

[ZFamly]

I like the tow mirrors

What year and model did you get the tow mirrors from?
Was it a direct bolt on or did you have to make any modifications?
Thanks

 

[grantikal]

Where did you find your Ford black and chrome emblem overlays? I can't find them on the bay or google..
Thanks

John

Are those 07+ tail lights?

BTW, you should get some black and chrome emblem overlays to complete the black out theme

Tow Mirrors

Where did you find the tow mirrors? I can't find any mirrors that will match up with my 06'.
