Ford charge about one kidney for it f me 1350......Will be getting the tailgate debbadged and welded up whilst it's at the panel beaters.Just gotta get the pump wiring sorted that I've been avoiding for ages. Friggin batteries dead so I guess that's become a job for after work this week. Fun.Hopefully it looks the goods in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(possibly was FPV variants rather than XR6T variants). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And every piece associated with completing the bar (except bezels) is over $600 a pop. I have 3 new bars hanging from the roof of my shed. As these things will be rare as all buggery when they become obsolete. Which I believe to be VERY soon. We'll see a lot of written of FPV's once this happens...

Having had both the factory one and the aftermarket one on and off a few times, I honestly can't see any quality or fitment differences. Was about $300. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
