I did the same, got rid of the powerstroke badges, 4x4 stickers, and I wanted to get rid of the F-250 badges but there is a few holes behind them so they had to stay. I got the truck with the bumperguard on it, I never liked it, but after hitting a deer in Canada (500 mi. away from anything)it had to stay.......at least for the winter months and road trips. After that it proved its worth, just a few broken lights and a dent in the bumper, not to bad for a 65 mph collision fully loaded pulling a 32' gooseneck that was loaded also.
Here's one from the other day......
I was to chicken to go outside and get the pic.
