    Was told that all you need to do is tell Janet (FS Ranger) that you want to camp when you come to the work day and she will help you out. My guess is it will be at arrowhead.

    2004 F-350...uh lots of motor work to go fast...er. Way to much to list. 2001: 3" leveling kit, ARB bumper, lightforce 240 blitz, 35" KM2s. SOLD 2008: OME 886s 90000 with dakars, LR UCAs, 5% tint, Satashi. SOLD 2015: Flooded and Gone
    As of today I may have a set of brand new sliders for a 05-07 dbl cab short bed. These apparently are specifically for 05-07 because of the cross member. I don't know the brand because my wife bought them for me this Christmas. They are still bare metal. If my father in laws buddy can't get them to fit they will be up here in the new Bern Havelock area this upcoming Friday the 31st. I will update ya'll if they got them to work or not.


    EDIT: sliders did not work out. If anyone is interested lemme know and I'll post up a picture. these are trail gear sliders. i'll sell for $300 and they will be up here friday. i only ask that once you are set on buying them that you stick with it cause if you back out i won't have a place to put them.

    Please state if for long or short bed. That may actually be your problem.

    That's odd. I've only known there to be differences in some first gen years and then the 2nd gens. Maybe try contacting the maker?

    I'd get a different set... I have a set of 35s on my 01, i got them for free year or so ago and I don't like them. Wet traction is garbage, pretty much only time I liked them was off road on some rocks and mud. I'd go with cooper stt. Best tire all around I have put on my truck. With my KM2s pulling our pontoon boat out I had to lock it in 4lo. With my coopers just put it in 2lo and it pulled out good.

    I'd rather buy a tire same price without having to do the extra work.
