    New member w/ new to me 03

    Hi, been looking at these older HD's since they came out. Finally, time / money in my favor and found a very clean 03. Pretty much all stock and doesn't appear to have but a few bolt on mods. Will post some pics soon.

    Started poking around on another site looking for info and saw links which led me to this site. Will start reading some of the threads to get myself familiar with my new truck. Love it!!!

    Thanks everyone. Since purchasing the truck on April 21st, I've performed the following:

    Belltech suspension w/ 2" lowering spindles, KYB mono-tube shocks, 3"-4" drop air ride suspension in rear
    HID headlight conversion (10K)
    HID fog light conversion (also 10K, not installed yet)
    LED 60W amber turn signal indicators
    LED 80W Rear backup & 50W cargo lights
    Color matched bed cover
    New alarm system w/ remote start & windows
    New stereo system w/ JVC Navi & JL Stealthbox
    Backup camera
    Rhino bedliner (due to severe surface scratches)


    As mentioned above, the truck was in really good shape. Just bought some touch up paint to hit a few nicks and scratches. It appears to have been garage kept. It also appears the original owner added some small round reflectors on both lower sides of the tail gate, skull caps on the mirrors, and LED tail lights. Haven't noticed any other mods. Won't be getting into anything under the hood until the warranty runs out. Bought it w/ 93K and Ford still offered a 2 year / 24K mile warranty!!!

    Now looking into a LED conversion for the interior to brighten things up a bit.

    Nice start!

    Nice start!

    I believe you will much prefer Dr. Color Chip rather than OEM touch up paint. I wouldn't use the touch up paint.

    I personally can't turn a wrench but I try to make perfect paint. If I can help with your detailing questions ask me.

    BTW No fear...I sell nothing.

    Thanks Merlin. Just watched the Dr. Color Chip video. Seems far superior than the OEM touch up paint I just purchased a few weeks ago. Wonder how it'll work over the top of it when I perform the next round of touch up?

    BTW, Pretty nice detail job on yours as well. What is OCDetailed?

    Duh, "OCD". Should've picked up on that!

    Anyway Merlin, sure. Which products do you use for detailing your pickup? Already purchased Pinacle Concours for the interior.

    Got some minor scrapes, scuffs on the leather too. Any recommendations? (Think the stereo / alarm guys did it).

    I'm not sure about "repairing" Leather but I can help with cleaning and conditioning.
