Billet door installed.

Nice truck!!! Maybe one of these days..... but I still like my "Old" Excursion.....

One odd question? Do you not have to run license plates on pickups up there in the Great White North? Or is the Ford logo on the rear bumper just for the pics? Just curious. I think that is a really nice addition on both ends.... here in Indiana, we only can manage 1 plate per vehicle..... was an odd change, I grew up in Illinois and they have always had 2 plates......

Interesting factoid: Due to only having a rear plate, it is illegal to back into a parking space in the State of Indiana because they can't see the plate when driving through the lot if you are backed in. I have not heard of anyone actually getting in trouble for backing in a parking spot (myself included) but it is technically illegal.

I often wondered when visiting my inlaws in MO why trucks had plates on the front and not on the rear. Here in NC we have plates on the rear only.

I drove a ten wheel dump truck, many years back. We had the plate, with the stickers on it, in the front. All commercial trucks (Big Rigs) that dump anything out the back, have the stickered plates in front. That is how I remember this issue.

In some states, any commercial vehicle has only a front plate. For Example, there is a company that has a branch that is local to me here in Indiana. Their home office is in Wisconsin. All their trucks, even pickups have only a front plate, and some have a "plate" on the rear that reads "Apportioned plate, plate on front" or something close to that. They have Wisconsin plates on them. If they had Indiana plates, it would only be on the rear.....

Got a good deal on a Smittybilt M1 front bumper so I added a little front end protection. M1 bumper, 12K winch with synthetic line, prolink thimble, stainless D-rings, led fog lights, Rigid light bar moved to the top and a Odyssey battery to power the winch.
