With how large the lower grill on the 14s is, I would think 1 long LED bar either along the top or bottom of the lower grill may look more balanced, rather then cramming them in the small upper grill.

Either way, your 4nr looks awesome!

I think the bottom portion of the lower grill would look best, and it would be even with the factory fogs. If you put it on the top portion of the lower grill, your runner will look buck toothed (or one big tooth, depending on light choice).

I've been asking around but I can't find anyone that has mounts like they do on the previous years. I measured and a 30" would fit perfectly under there.

Interior Lighting LED Upgrade

Hi Guys I just replaced all the interior lighting with LEDs last night. The only bulbs I couldn't replace were the side mirror puddle lights.

Dome Light before LEDs

Map reading Lights Before LEDs

Tailgate Interior Lights Before LEDs

I also replaced the license plate with LEDs, Reverese Lights and all Door courtesy lights.

Hi [MENTION=99122]fmulino[/MENTION], what LED kit did you used??? Awesome rig BTW!!!

 

[fmulino]

LEDs

Hi [MENTION=93850]omaguz[/MENTION] I didn't really buy a kit. My best friend sells lighting parts for cars and he has a stock at his house. So we pretty much just started pulling them out and fittings LED bulbs in. For the tailgate interior and dome we used LED strips with 6 LEDs because I wanted them brighter.

Nice looking rig!

Good looking ride. Any rubbing issues with the 3" Revtek lift and the 285's? Did you have to do any trimming?

 

[fmulino]

I had to push the fender liner forward, and there is a mod thread here somewhere showing how to drill new holes and move the fender and I had to trim a little bit od the bumper but not big deal.

Larger Tires

if it helps here is the mod

and here is a picture of the piece of bumber I had to cut, it was a really small piece all I used to cut the plastic was a wire cutter, maybe in summer I'll use my dremel to sand it down a little and make it look round.

Good Luck

Blend Mount for Escort 9500ix and Mirror Tap Cable MOD

Got to do some work on my truck this weekend, I got the Blend Mount and Mirror Tap cable for my Escort 9500ix I'm loving the look of it.

 

[MadeInMaine]

Looks great man.
Your idea for the 2x smaller led bars in upper grill space... Awesome. I want to see it!
Have you though about just cutting out the grill for that section? Make it just for lights?

Keep up the good work and updates

 

[Desert Dawg]

Looking really good....nice work!

Yakima Bike Rack

Installed my Yakima Bike Rack for this Summer

 

[Ducmonsta]

I would recommend a Yakima top tube adapter for your bikes. It saves the paint and carries the bikes level. Inexpensive bike frame saver.

 

[fmulino]

Got 3 of them now just didn't have them when I took the pictures. I figured I needed on as soon as I saw how the bikes sat there lol. Thanks for the advice anyways [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION]
