It's all a direct bolt in. Navigators, F150s, Expeditions, they all have the same basic holes in the floorboard, you just have to tap them.

well, here are some updated pics. im still not done, but at least it's installed. i want eric (for those of you that know him) to do the lid for me, but i just dont have the extra cash night now.








i still have to finish the "plate" to hold a guage & my remote display for the valentine one.
Thats exactly how I have mine painted except mine's tan and I also have the lid painted black...I used duplicolor vinyl paint and it still looks great! Don't be afraid to paint it...pm me if you have any questions on the prep. Here's a pic of it when I had it all black...still haven't taken any updated pics.

found a cheap billet grille and figured what the hell, i'll paint it and try it out for a while.

Since I was taking the front end apart, I pulled off the lower bumper piece, sprayed it with some bedliner then some Krylon fusion for better color. Also added a set of tow hooks i've had sitting around for a long time

well, i was looking at the bed of my lightning and realized how bad it was. the previous owner used it for it's intended purpose , but had not kind of protection for the bed. so i figured that i would try the roll in bed liner. i just wanted something to protect the damage, so it wouldnt get worse. nothing is really ever in my bed....well, my drag radials on the way to the track, but that's really it. here are the results:
