I ran these clear tails for a while. But eventually I got tired of them and took them back off for the stock lights. Here are the front tinted turn signals and side markers with the old bumper/ grill guard/ lights set up. You can also see how I used to have my front and rear axles painted "Ford Red".
Here is the new front bumper with winch. These pictures were taken before the front tow hooks were added. I had to trim the grill a little to fit the winch, I'll have to cut off a whole lot more once I take off the body lift.
Here are some pics with the fog lights and tow hooks mounted on the bumper and the current axle/wheel paint conditions (gloss black, but it always looks flat from being dirty).
Rear tow hooks (mounted horizontally for better departure angle). You can also see the Warrior shackles. Now the bumper is black.
Auxiliary reverse lights on top of bumper.
I used to run 6 under body lights. But they were always breaking. I had the lights tucked up well, but the bulbs would snap in half from the harsh impacts. So I took them off after replacing 1-3 bulbs every time I went wheeling for a while. I'd like to set up an LED kit some time. Ass shot, showing off old rear axle.
I decided to go door-less (I've been wanting to for a long time now). So I cut the hinge pins to the doors, leaving the brackets on. That way I won't have to realign the hinges when I put the doors back on. Since the doors were off the carpet was going to get ruined, so I went ahead and pulled it out and put down a DIY bed liner on the entire floor (I have a link to a write up on page 4). I also bought a little side mirror for the driver's side so that cops can't harass me for not having the doors on. I've put the doors back on now. I used grade 8 bolts, lock washers, and nuts. Next summer I'll just have to remove the bolts to take the doors off again. Here is a DIY write up I did on how I took off my doors

hey thanks for the comments on my ex. you've got the doorless mod i want to do, which looks like it came out great. thats an awesome ex you have. to answer your question, i did have to do a little trimming of the wheel wells in the front for the tires to clear at full turn.
