Looks good, but they do take a little while to get used to. Be careful when going through a drive thru. Ask me how i know?

On a separate note, what model of bumper replacement is that

gilsnuxs,
Luckily I dont eat much fast food, but the bank lines are a different story. The bumpers are made by Ranch Hand.

That is a beautiful truck. Did you get your towing mirrors from Tasca? I'm debating on getting them for mine but, they stick so far out...I'd probly hit something. And you like them so far?

Radar,
I love them when im in the truck as I can see everything, when I am outside the truck I sometimes think of Dumbo the Elephant.

Gil,
It is the bullnose.

They look like they belong with the truck being lifted.

Was it simple change? I'm thinking going the other way, I like the tow mirrors, until I have to pull in and out of the garage.

MTP,
Not much else to do ? Door handles, badges, supercharger!

thejake,
I have been waiting for someone to organize a meet, I am willing to travel 2 hours one way in any which direction to meet some people =)

MT-Ford,
Easy man, took me about 45 minutes to do both side. Each panel has four screws that need to be removed, remove the door lock/window panel and unplug, then press up at the bottom of the panel and there ya go it is off. The mirrors are held on by 3 nuts, undue them and pull the mirror off, stick in the new one and put everything back together the same way you took it apart.

Most people dont like them, personally I love mine and nice to see some others do to. I think they fit the truck much better. So many people ask if me if my truck is a super duty, and I think a lot of it has to do with the tow mirrors. Nice truck man
