Let's plan a GFB ghost town trip.
This sounds rad! Can we do it in 2032 so my crew can be mostly done???

I am.

But it's the mid day oil recently. Lunch break style. Little by little is how you eat that elephant.

A few minor updates. Installed a K&N Open Air filter system. Convinced it just makes more noise, but sounds cool so gonna keep it for a while. Also ordered a 20" LED bar to mount in the front bumper. Truck had rear axle bearings go south, so had the entire rear end gone through. Loving the truck, runs great. BFG KO2 is now out in 285/70/17 so planning to swap out the Yokos.

I had the same intake and felt the same way. It came with the truck so it wasn't my money. How do you like the yokos? I had 285/70/17 falken at and liked them but have heard others don't get great wear out of them and they are heavy.
If I had kept the truck I would have done the exact same light bar in the bumper. It looks great.

Yeah the K&N a I found used on CL for a steal so I grabbed it. May remove, not sure.

The Yokos are great, honestly I don't really want to sell but I'm a BFGS guy, and I'm dying to try out the new BFG KO2. Found a set on Race Dez for a deal, so gonna try and sell the Yokos, if not they will stay on. They are quiet, grippy, and have a 50K mileage warranty.

The Falkens I've heard are horrible in terms of wear, but other than that great. my guy at Discount Tire literally would not sell them to me........he told me me no way do I think you will be happy with these tires, so he cut me a deal on the Yokos. The BFG KO2 just launched in the 285 size so now I'm wanting to make the switch. Hahaha. Damn mod bug.

The light bar is actually not mounted in that picture, I plan to mount this weekend. Will mount it a tiny bit deeper in the bumper so it sits just inside the pocket. Will post up once done.

Isn't there a trans cooler behind that bumper opening on that model ?

Yes there is. That's why I want to push it back, so air still comes into the pocket.

Alright, so all you desk jockeys that are Expedition experts, does the 99 up front bumper directly swap over? What exactly do I need other than the bumper and the grill. That is next on my upgrade list.

Desk Jockey #1 responding... 99.99% the bumper brackets need to be changed as well
