Installing some 2x6 reverse LEDs as i type this. Had to come find your thread to see where the mounting location was. Only problem i have is the bolt the lights came with is too big to thread into the existing hole. Going to make a run to the parts store to find one that will fit.

I can't remember what size bolt it is, off the top of my head, but if you take one off the gas tank skid plate, where it is bolted into the frame, it is the same size. You can take that in the store to make sure you are getting the right size.

I just read all 276 posts of this thread. You have a beautiful truck. Are those lights wired yet? I'm sure you'll take great photos.

Probably my favorite truck on here. good job, my friend. I can't wait to get the suspension set up you have. This is definitely an inspiring truck

Looks great, Morris! The dust lights are a nice touch - not sure how I missed that before. Are the brackets for those bolted to the mesh floor or did Josh add tabs?

Been a while since I've been on here and this was the first thread I looked up. Still a damn good looking truck, Morris. I finally ditched the DS lift and got the Bilstein/884/Superflex lift installed. You were right, much better ride. Not that DS was a bad ride, because it wasn't, but this is superb. Thanks for the recommendation

This was the results from the past Saturday and Sunday. The weekend before i had gone on a ride on the Alabama Skyway with some T4R and TW members. We had a really good time but i came home with a few new pinstripes that i couldn't live with.

After three hours of pressure washing and hand washing i busted out the polisher to work on the scratches. After i was finished with the scratches i just kept going. even though i had done a full paint restoration at the beginning of July I felt like i was leaving it half done if I stopped. I went ahead and polished the rest of the truck with a Adam's Paint Correction Polish followed with Adam's Paint Finishing Polish. To finish off that Saturday gave it a coat of Adam's Machine Sealer. That Sunday i pulled the wheels off to clean and apply a good coat of Auto Finesse Mint Rims high heat wax. Then back to the truck again to give it a coat of Adam's Glaze and two coats of Adam's Americana Wax. To finish her off i hit the cladding with Shine Supply Trim Shine. Sorry for the crummy pics. Was the first time i slowed down this week.

That has got to be the sexiest lifted cladded '03 I've ever seen.
I thought it looked good BEFORE!
I'm always on the lookout for other '03 cladded 'runners on the road and I actually spotted one earlier tonight, just a few hours ago actually, just like yours (black-n-cladded '03). Never actually run across a black '03 until tonight in person.
Poor thing, looked like it hadn't been washed or waxed since it was bought, it was probably the roughest shape 'runner I've spotted on the road to date, looked like it had just been totally neglected over the years, no 4x4 outfitting or anything so it wasn't like it had earned it's rough appearance...
The minute I saw it I immediately thought of the momobile...and what could have been...
