Lightning bumper on Expedition
I know at least two of you have added a lightning bumper to your Expedition. Those of you who have, can you please post a very clear picture of the lightning bumper on your Expy? I have seen several pics, but they are kind of dark.
I have a 98 4wd Expedition with tow hooks. I will have to take off the tow hooks, but is everything else the same in the bumper assembly between the 2wd and 4wd? Will I still be able to get the lightning bumper? Thanks for the help.

Robert,
I can't see why the bumper won't work on your 4WD Expy. As for pics, all I have scanned are the ones on my website. Sorry if its a bit dark.
I've also got a pic or two scanned of my Lightning on the webpage. Maybe looking at that will help some. ????

Robert,
You should have no problems with the install. It requires new H brackets, and all the hardware that attaches the bumper cover to the bumper itself. I had no problem installing mine, took about four hours and I saved a lot of money doing it myself. The only bad thing is having too buy a new grill surround, but it helped make a big difference. I also went with Trenz Billet Grills to give it a different look from Wes and Thunders. I have pics coming soon.

Off the subject, but does anyone still have their tow hooks that they would sell? Let me know, Doc
