Howdy,
Thought I'd put up some pics of my Ute, Wasn't a big fan of all the chrome on the XLT's so have been slowly chipping away at de-blinging it.
I have another front grille that I need to paint and then decide what insert to chuck in.
Still figuring out what bar work I want, front rear and sliders etc but ATM i'm kinda liking the no front bar look, rear not so much
Have the 2" lift in with 33's and the flares are a perfect colour match and suit the car really well.

Thanks for sharing.
Throw an ARB summit rear bar on, then I think you will be happy with the back. If you don't need a bar don't do it, more weight, more fuel more, and goes on and on and on.
Enjoy your ride.

I noticed your not running mud flaps mate, I'm running BFG 33s in AT and the stones, mud etc. would chip the paint with out the mudflaps.

Yeah, I've been tossing up whether to put them back on, you're probably right....haven't been on a dirt track since I did it so no damage so far..

New bar fitted. Starting to look like a fourby now!

Looking good but be careful with that grill, Ford use it as an excuse to avoid warranty for under bonnet failures.

Looks good but I preferred it with the standard front end - Do the tyres rub at all with the 2" lift? What's the actual tyre size?

It only rubbed on full lock right in the corner of the inner guard at the front if that makes sense?
I softened it up with a heat gun and re molded it, not a problem at all now as it's been trimmed with the new bar

Thanks, that makes sense. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and deal with it if/when it rubs.MagneticXLT wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 8:43 pmI'm running 285/70/17'sGoochie wrote:Looks good but I preferred it with the standard front end - Do the tyres rub at all with the 2" lift?
