I have a 2003 F-150 SuperCrew FX4 Off-Road. I was going to buy a cow catcher and bed rails - and I think I found them. Could any of verify that these will fit my truck? I have a shortbed. I would hate to buy these, finally get them, and realize they don't fit.

Any help is appreciated...

it looks like the bed rails would work cause it says that they are made for your truck. but as far as i can tell that particular grille guard wont fit because it is made for the new body style. im sure they sell one that fits.

 

Expeditions changed to the new body style that the new F-150s use a year early. So, that brush gaurd fits a 2003 Expo but not a 2003 F-150. And for that price you could find one that is name brand, such as Smittybuilt or Westin.

I use that last one, made by hunter. It comes direct from the factory in TX. Its a good unit, but I wouldn't try to push anything other than a small pedestrian with it.

 

Then what is the point of having it?

 

Wow, thanks a lot for the links - I really appreciate it. Any big difference in the items you listed? All looked the same - or am I missing something...

 

I just bought the last one on that list. They just shipped it out today - very excited to get it. Surprised to learn it was .14 gauge, while every one I have seen is .16 or .18 gauge. Not a big deal, but still.

Anyways, I was curious if you had to take your tow hooks off to install this grille?

 

so did you have to take off your tow hooks? Im looking at the Hunter one as well. How is the quality of it?
