I parked it under the wrong tree during a thunderstorm and *BLAM* some big sticks dropped onto the hood and banged it up on the lip Im thankful it didnt do more damage and crack my windshield or something worse

410 : Thanks its a good thing to support those who help with problems and I used the last of my tax return to become elite I was gonna do it next week when I got paid but couldnt pass up the killer deal Rick had going and said "what the hell" and This is the first "real" auto i've had that i could fix up and customize (had an older VW Fox before that was a junker) and since i've found this site i've been finding ways and things to do to better the truck.
 






Very nice Sport Trac. I like that color a lot. The grill looks great! Good job!

Man, you guys have some hawk eyes. I had to relook over all the pictures a few times to find it.

Very nice track though. When I repaint mine, it will probably be that color.

I love to scrutinize pics...I always check out objects other than the focus of the pic.:D
 












Nice S/T ions! I really like the look of it, escpecially with that color.

I'd definitely say that you moved up a good bit with your two new trucks. :cool:
 






FROADER said:
Are you going to get a grill with tighter lines to match the bottom one or keep it the way it is?

I was thinking about getting a tighter one but the main grille was a PITA to do in the first place...15min job my ass.
 












You only have one chance for a first impression.... Not bad.... Not bad at all.... I think you have that "CAN DO" personality. I wish you well.

Oh ha, one thing else, as soon as I get my next disability check, around the 16 of the month, I will be an elite. There, I put it up for everyone to see.
 






Thanks Rookieshooter for those kind words. I think i have a "CAN DO" personality I just wish I had "THE MONEY" to do it all faster :D and congrats on becoming elite also maybe rick will hook ya up with that sweet deal he had going :D
 






Just got a ScanGauge can't wait to use it i've heard it was really good and could'nt pass up the deal I got and shipping was also awesome it took only 2 days to get here.

How hard was it to install?

Not hard at all its all Plug-n-Play just plug it into the OBD2 port and you're pretty much done other than setting some stuff up like your engine size, fuel tank size and other little things. Its pretty neat and well worth the money and comes with velcro so you can pretty much stick it anywhere in the truck.
 






New pedels
