Thank you. I really just wanted to give some love to the most valuable and neglected vehicle I have. I agree about the lights. I will look up 05+ headlights and see what I can get. Thank you again.
I broke my grill on my F250 V10 w/2.5 lift. After seeing this I ordered my new Grill. I'm excited for it to Get here. Own a T Shirt Factory I might have to make a Cool Truck Shirt Now.
Thanks for this video! We are doing a similar “Raptor Style Conversion” on a 2005 Excursion diesel. This was super helpful!! We’d love your thoughts on our project when we post it!
Its spring 2023, Ford must have shut them down. I can find (sort of) similar ones but nothing as good looking as the one you installed. If you have any insider info/resources on how to get one.....
@@cautionontherun30 unfortunately due to Ford licensing issues, they no longer sell this one. You can find some for quite a bit more but this one is no longer for sale.
Funny I just bought a 250 some color (auto correct said I should change spelling from colour as we would do in canada) it’s a 2000 2wd with 5.4 and about 200k miles (converted from kilometers). Daughter call it the beach bum due to the colour!!! I bought it for parts for the box as the truck appears to not have been driven in the Canadian winter with salt. Weird it’s now my daily driver with little tlc needed tires and complete brakes all around and one brake line. Love the video as I am now thinking of sprucing it up little, new headlights was the first, and that’s how I saw ur video somehow. I have 2001 f250 crew cab w the 7.3 plow truck w salter that needed a new box due to a backing up miscommunication, and a 2007.5 crew cab Gmc duramax w salter and for some unknown reason this beachbum is my new daily driver (as in too good to part out even though it was only 2000$) Thx for the video I look forward to seeing any more changes u do to it as they r still great looking rigs after all these years!
Looks awesome! The only other thing to do would be to chrome up the letters or paint them red. OR color match the letters to your truck paint - but just the face, not the sides of the letters. Just saying what crossed my brain hole - lol.
Hi, thanks for the video.. did you notice any gap under the grille after swapping it? Gap to where you can see the clips? If not I may need to raise my bumper or something.
Hello. Looks great. If I have converted the front bumper to an 05 to07, fabricated in 05-07 headlights, can I order that grille in 50-07 that will fit the 99 header panel? I understand that but 05 to 07 grill with work but I would just need to use zip ties at the bottom of the grille. I’m just wondering if there’s a grill out there made to fit my set up or not. Thank you
Unfortunately, there was a copyright infringement with these, and they are no longer for sale. There are others that you can search in fine, but not this exact same one.
I need bed rail caps for my 2000 all I can find is 2002 up what did they change in 02 ??? Also I just bought this 2000 7.3 completely stock and I have a completely stock 04 Cummins I’m worried if I sell the Cummins the 7.3 won’t pull doubles as good as the Cummins???
Looks fantastic, if you don't mind me asking where you found a place to order with the letters from, I have an 01 f250 and spent the better part of 6 months and still haven't found a place and def none at that price even without the letters can you share the linkj ?
Edward Seidel thank you for the question. I just went back and noticed that you are right, they are no longer selling these with the F and R letters. I wonder if it was a legal thing. I hate that because I paid around 100 bucks and 30 for shipping and it made such a difference.
Hey John ....can you tell me how and where you tapped in the amber lights power? I got my grill installed but cant figure out where to power the ambers up at .
I actually found a spare accessory connection that is behind the driver's side headlight. The only thing is you have to actually hook it up to the fuse panel but I guess it's already to go behind the fuse panel
Pat-413 I totally agree. I was running out of time to play, as my wife says. Lol. I’m planning to put some new headlights in and that’s when I will tap in.
Here you go. www.ebay.com/itm/Upper-Mesh-Grilles-With-The-Letter-Fit-F250-99-04-F350-ABS/383094755779?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Thanks for the reply! I've looked all over for places that sell the letters with the grille. Most secondary places that sell the letters never fit the grills
The grills for the F250, F350 and Excursion are the same from 1999 to 2004. In 2005 they get bigger but like the earlier models, the 2005 grill will fit all 2005 F250, F350 and Excursion.
Albert Larkin Unfortunately, about three weeks after posting this video I have noticed that all of these have been removed from eBay. I am thinking that Ford had something to do with that as these are not officially licensed. I hate that they remove these as it was a great deal and really updated the front of the F250. Thank you for watching and if they come back online I will post a link.
I found them, price went up and you have to purchase the letters separately! www.ebay.com/i/233167982938?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=233167982938&targetid=541454250452&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9016409&poi=&campaignid=6470544939&mkgroupid=81274457887&rlsatarget=aud-622027676548:pla-541454250452&abcId=1139336&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAiA3uDwBRBFEiwA1VsajJ5_0ZwfHis8yYGGCrP4oAlxcErIE4aaGf300qG8ey8KjQau97wh3xoCZwEQAvD_BwE
They did that to try and get past Ford licensing. Then remove one of the D’s and one of the O’s. And it will spell Ford. That’s why this product is no longer available.
Damn NICE!!! Thanks!! So want to do that!!! I’d leave the (F) off to screw with people!! I’ve got an F250 ‘00 I’ve done and will do more mods to Damn!!! That looks BAD@$$!!!!! 👍👍 I’m gonna spray-on liner our truck You need to upgrade your mirrors! 👍
Miguel Mcclelland They took them off of eBay because of copyright infringement. Here’s a link someone else on the site found that might get you a little closer. m.made-in-china.com/product/3-PCS-LED-Lights-Raptor-Grille-for-F250-1999-2004-771234122.html
Not sure if I want to go with this or the all chrome bigger bolder 08 type but here is a link to this one, they do ship from the states but shipping is high, think it comes to about $150 m.made-in-china.com/product/3-PCS-LED-Lights-Raptor-Grille-for-F250-1999-2004-771234122.html
Anything and everything, Lol just nice to see and enthusiastic car guy who is a Bentley owner like yourself that makes vids:)... Do you get to drive it often??
Undertaker Fire awesome. I will get some videos on it. I drive it about once a week. I’m in the process of building a small storage building so a lot of car stuff is on hold until I can move them around. I love the GT. It’s one of the best driving cars I own.
Yea... not a fan. I’m in the “keep it stock” group. These trucks are becoming classics and any attempt to “update” them just comes off as cheesy looking.
Lol. It was a year ago when I made the video. Ford has taken most of them down do to license issues and the rest have gone up. I don’t control the prices but when I got mine it was a hell of a deal for an updated look.
