HAHA, I totally agree, looks horrible!!!
I have thought about painting the side moldings, but I am afraid that it might looks worse than it does now!

Prep is key. Degrease them, prime, paint. There are some good plastic paints out there (Duplicolor trim and bumper) that should take care of it pretty easily.
I will look into and hopefully take care of it in the next week or two.

Nice, I have an 04 expedition too that we've had forever and now looking to make it our 'camper' and tow vehicle for our boat. We just bought a new car so now the Expedition sits while I plan... So far wife and I agree on a large high quality roof top tent with annex (really like the CVT Denali w/ Annex) or the Wildcoast Bigsky w/ annex. We already have a mattress that fits the back of the expedition perfect, so the plan is to make that the kids bed, or at least for our 11 year old, since we have the Eddie bauer with the factory dvd player and head sets, which is an awesome way to send kids to bed and have adult time when camping.
What kind of lift exactly did you use? I'm ready to remove the running boards on our expedition as the kids are all grown now and getting in and out is easy. I really like the bumper and light bar. You've given me alot of ideas!

I used the 3/2 Ready lift kit. I will also be adding the Rancho 2” quick struts in another week or two. So it will be a 5/4 lift at that point!

Your minimalist bumper is really cool. I was taking a look at your roof rack and was wondering how they attach to the top of the roof. Looks like the factory rails were removed and those L brackets tuck in there somehow? Ive got a Tahoe but my factory rack has been bent and is on its way out. Looking to do something similar to your rig.
