Thank you. I just ordered up the left and right bottom covers in gray for 2003 limited. I’ll post a photo when I get them installed. Haven’t sourced cushions. But I might just add a slim piece of foam on the outer bolsters

Thanks all. Good advice. I’ll research a bit more related to part numbers and such. And yes very interested in a link ???

My 2003 limited with leather is in really good shape considering the age. I do show some wear on the drivers lower seat cushion to the outside. Likely from sliding in over the years. Though I try to lift my self out a bit to not speed up that wear. I’m thinking of just swapping the left and...

Original owner 2003 4x4 V8 Limited 210,000 miles Still getting 15 MPG daily

One of the things to consider is that my 03 limited V8 is a 4wd and has a 5000 pound tow limit, and a 500 tongue weight limit. The hitch connection to the frame is different than on some of the 2wds from back in the day. The 2nd had I think 7000 pound limit and a more substantial hitch, I...

I agree with Mike. Prior to lifting my 03 limited V8 I added the airlift 1000’s Same as the link provided. I could air them down for a comfortable ride, and then air them up just a bit to level things out when I was towing my Casita RV. Things to know. You have to cut down the original bump...

I was looking at a thread with some old posts. Reminded me that I mocked up some front recovery points. I had a buddy with a laser cutter and he is a pretty good welder. They turned out pretty good. If you can do those things and are looking for a template let me know. I’m sure I could...

All in, just on the timing belt and water pump, I probably worked 5 or 6 hours. But I didn’t do it continuously. I was doing some other maintenance also. And took a break to get a harmonic balancer pulley puller from a buddy. But I thought it went real smoothly. I was most worried about...

Learned a ton here so giving back a bit. Wanted to share just a couple tips from the timing belt replacement I just completed. There are already full write ups. Which covers the majority of the process And I used a couple YouTube videos that combined were great resources. One was “The...

That is a sweet setup you made. You could sell those. It pairs nicely with the sliders too. Did you build those as well ? For a creative mind like yours, you would find it a challenge. But I’d like to have a rear bumper that on each side I could pull out or swing out or slide in, two...

FYI, If it was the “sway bar” you could get away without it. It would affect the runners cornering ability on the road. What you photo’d is the rear axle track bar mount. It keeps the axle centered under the truck. Without it the axle will wonder under the truck and you in affect would...

I’m not sure what headunit you are using but I have an 03 Limited and I still am running the JBL system. With all that, I purchased a GTA Bluetooth that allows me to control my phone and plays through the headunit including the steering wheel control. They provide a remote mic as well for...

Agree on the Mob Armor. Easiest 1 handed placement and a solid hold. And I can pull it all done quickly if parking and I don’t want to encourage any nefarious activity. Ram mounts are solid and I use them on my motorcycle but it does take 2 hands to mount the phone up. I haven’t had any...

Sorry for reopening an old post. But wondering if any of you guys ever still get together to explore Central Oregon???

Talking headlamps. Decided today was a good day to do another polish to my original 200k 19 year old headlamps. I’ve upgraded the bulbs some time back. And just need to do a polish every now and then. After polishing I apply Plexus. This stuff is the bomb. Not cheap though. It helps...
