Clearance lights are cool.
How does the valence attach, clamps to bed rail?
I guess it has no real purpose except to look cool and hold the lights on top. I think if it were like flat black it would look nice on mine?
Are you getting rid of yours lil_blue_ford.
Doubt I wlil see this in a junkyard but who knows.
Thanks now I know mfgr and what it's called will look around.
Not sure how it would look with extended cab it might look weird also the Cobalt tool box in there now would not fit, I think.
OEM roll bar (they are decorative) would be nice, maybe better choice.
How about tubular rear bumper, have one of those? It was an OEM option but I can't find any of them nor the roll bar.
Tubular not nice like chrome but I'm assuming they are strong enough somebody can push you.
But would that ever happen.
I'm thinking a winch in front would be more useful which opens up another can of worms.
Then if you are stuck isn't it true you can (hopefully) find a tree and pull yourself out? You'd have to lose the stock bumper etc. Then you are radically changing the look.
It's all a matter of your personal taste and preference. I have a tubular front bumper. But it started as a Jeep bumper that I modified to fit. It takes a lot of patience and diligent searching to find some of this stuff used. Hitting your local junk yards on a regular basis and keeping track of their inventory is helpful.
What are you aspirations and skills concerning DIY projects? A lot of things are cheaper if you make them yourself, even if you have to buy a few new tools along the way. My truck wouldn't be anything like it is if I wasn't able to do so much myself. I just don't have the budget.
So, take some time and think and plan. How do you want to use the truck? What do you want from it? Research a ballpark price for each thing. Then put a priority on each item. Then, start working on your list one item at a time as your money, time, tools and skills allow. Having a plan saves money, so you don't do a modification and then rip it off to do something different. Also, allow time and money for normal and emergency repairs and maintenance. They will happen.
