im new to the ms world, unfortunately mine is only an ES 4x2 but its been fun, i have had it for about 2 weeks, gets great gas mileage, 325miles to a tank, i paid 2000$ for it with 185k miles on it, 1 owner truck, 5 spd, needs new front bumper but im not too terribly worried about it yet, i painted the stock wheels black and put the center caps and wheel rings back on it and turned out pretty good. got some 235/75/15r goodyear wrangler all terrains on it today, gonna smooke the tail lenses and and rear reflector, maybe even marker lights and turn signals and shave the badges off it. other than that its my dd cuz im a mustang guy but if anybody comes across anything good for a reasonable price, pass it along my way. thanks all Uploaded with ImageShack.us

also, does anybody know if the headlights and taillights are inter changeable from a 98 up to 04? i like the 00-04 headlights and tailights but not sure if they will work, if not im gonna smoke these and leave the DSM logo in the lights so when they come on its little shields haha

If you can, go up with the tire size. I have 265's, and I wish they were bigger.

My MS has the same trim package as yours... which is none... but mine is an XLS 4x4 so strange to me... If you find a site or a salvage let me know cause i am looking for a fender and headlight!

when you smoke your lights, you should use vinyl smoke, its better than spray painting because you dont ruin the light by spray painting it and its totally removable. and it looks bad ***. I did it to mine I just wish i could change to a better looking grille

Buy deglosser at walmart. Wipe all the black paint off of the plastic grill and underneath is shiny chrome

I dont like the chrome look at all, no matter what it is. and I like the look and design of the newer grilles

I have looked online for different grilles and havent came up with much... the ones i have seen are chrome or just hideous... so good luck with your search!

I think i am going to just sand down the chrome to the black layer and give it a good paint job
