Hmmm, none of the pics work. The host site says they all contain errors and won't let the directory be listed directly.
 






Alec....copy and paste.
 






Um, been there, tried that. That's what I tried first :hammer:
 






Hmmm...works for me.

hey thanks SSIKORA, the server that the pics on should work and im trying to figure it out but thanks again!

Heres the folder link 97X
 






Um Ok. Looks good!

What kind of front bar is that?
 






thanks alec, its a Setina MFG push bar:D
 






where did you buy it, and do you know if their other models of pushbar are available for the X? Their website wasn't very helpful.
 






go to www.galls.com they sell pushbars like theses and have other setina models too. the dealer my truck came from only sells police vehicles and they installed the pushbar!
 






Ah, I haven't looked at Galls in a while and previously they only had GoRhino bars.

Thanks!
 






looks good man.. it would be cool if your dealer sold you a police interceptor model without either of you knowing :D
 






its is a police interceptor!! im the director of operation for a disaster org and we bought it back in 97. had it for a while and bought a newer model so i bought this one. it has a 5.0 235hp,130amp alt, 1000amp battery,3 oil coolers, fullsize tranny cooler, block heater, anti theft co system. this is what it use to look like until i bought it.

heh i never knew that made a police interceptor version of the x. they just put bar lights and grille guard on it.
heh and i dont think that one is undercover, the grille guard and red lights on the front kind of give it away...
 






that is pretty awesome i like what you did too it
 






that looks badass, man!! hey, where exactly is linwood? i make frequent trips down from VT to Stoughton, on the south shore.
 






linwood is a suburb of Northbridge Ma, Worcester county if that helps. i was in stow vt over the summer for a few weeks working on a house. its really nice up there. the before pic of my truck in the dirt driveway was taken in stow!!
