RE: She's All Naked now!!!!!!
I'm not sure why I have seen so many posts with guys (and gals) removing the badges. What is this? I guess I am a little old (39) to appreciate this. I am very proud of the badges I have on my 2006 CTD!

RE: She's All Naked now!!!!!!
Thanks. Now for some finishing touches.
I have the 2" leveling kit and tried to install it yesterday. Note I said TRIED? Well I discovered that I don't have a socket or breaker bar to take the wheels off (real nice if I have a flat huh?). And that made me realise that I don't have a spare either. Need to get a 35" tire for the spare now.
Then I didn't have an extention long enough to get to the 3 nuts on the Shock Tower, this was where I found out what 24 volts feels like when you ground your arm to the battery post.....ouch! Finally got them loose and then we couldn't get the nut off the shock, the shock was turning and I hadno channle locks big enough to grab it to keep it from spinning.
This was when I stood back from the truck and thought about it for a minute. I suddenly realized that I am not a mechanic and don't even have proper tools for the job.
So I put it back together and it goes to the shop this week to have a "Pro" install it.
And I am seriously thinking about getting a 4 1/2" lift instead of the leveling kit. I have seen a few of you guys trucks with it and I like it. Not too much and not too little. So I'll be pricing a lift kit this week.
And to be honest, I think my truck is missing something. I don't know if it's because there is so much "black" everywhere or what. But it just looks like it needs something I just can't put my finger on it.
Any sugjestions out there?

Yeah, looks good. I like the subdued look.But how do the Yahoos tell that it's not a 1500?

What kind of bumper is that.... sorry if you have allready said it.

I like it because it's different from all the other "Bull" bumpers I have seen. Those bars actually slant forward away from the grill and stick out a few inches in front of the bumper, not like most of the others I have seen that just stick straight up vertical. This one looks more like a "Baja style" but much cheaper.
The cheapest I found one was $750 installed with no tax.
I'll get a better picture of it if your interested. A direct side view really shows the style of it better.
