I didn't finish until last night, she's at work now but we'll get more pictures. For the rear I'd like to find one that keeps the spare in the stock location, she hates the look of swing outs.

So everything is finally installed and cleaned up, enjoy.

Only downside to the bumper is the exposed washer tank. It will have to be replaced by the expedition one tank.

Thanks! I told him he did such a good job on the clean-up that it looks like it came out of the showroom! haha

Now that is a rig itching for wheel spacers. Or a wider wheel with the appropriate offset.

Looking good.
