I like it, simple and functional ?
My junk, 1990 f250. Custom trailer, 1980 something Starcraft.
Here's my new to me 02 F-350 7.3, first pic is when I first got her. Had it since January this year and so far have done a few small things like new mirrors, grill, headlights and backup camera. I mainly use it for towing my Jeep project around and sleep in the back of it. The bedrug makes a pretty nice sleeping space back there but I'm looking for a slide in to replace the camper shell soon. Also have done a few mechanical upgrades as well, a riffraff intake and frx I just installed this weekend when I rebuilt the fuel bowl. Also scored a slightly used set of 35" maxxis razor tires, now I just need to find a set of 17" wheels to mount them on. I got this truck with 183k miles so hopefully I can keep it going for a long time. Absolutely love it so far.

Nice!! That shell matches so well, I thought that was an Excursion at first.
Are those new headlights Halogen or something else, and where did you get them, if I may ask? Mine on my 2004 F250 are going bad and I need to replace them.
Thanks! The headlights are nothing special just factory style replacements from Amazon. They just look so good because the old ones were so bad. Here's the link For 1999-2004 Ford Excursion F250... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016EBWYR0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I do plan to do an LED bulb swap in the future though.

Thanks for the link! If you're happy with the ones you have, I'll go ahead and order a set of them for my truck.
I tried a set of LEDs a couple of years ago with the existing housings, but they were crap. You can't just take LED bulbs and stick them in housings with reflectors and optics that are designed for Halogen bulbs, and expect any kind of decent performance. LED and Halogen are two different animals, and they require different optics. I wish it were that simple, but it's not.
You might want to get on the CandlePowerForums, and do some research before you buy anything. They have some good discussions going about this very subject. I haven't been on in a while, and need to do some catching up myself.
BTW, here is my truck...

It’s an M-Rack from KC Lights. It’s a nice rack if you’re willing to drill holes and add riv-nuts to your roof.

Is that an off-road version floor jack mounted on the side of your truck above the fire extinguisher? If so, can you give me some details about it please? I'm looking for something to use with the Ambo/Camper Trailer that you see in my avatar.

Looks like it might be a Pro-Eagle jack (https://www.proeagle.com/collections/all)
