I have all the factory ubolts from my 05 4x4 from when i did a spring swap. I know you aren't supposed to reuse them, but that's a debate for another thread. Nuts included. I have all the eye bolts that came off clean. My truck is a rust free Texas truck so everything under it was great shape. Also have factory springs front and rear not disassembled since I got my new ones pre modded. Maybe someone needs a leaf or two? Also have four Monroe shocks with about 30k on them and two slightly warped front rotors.....all hitting the metal bin unless someone can use it.
I'd be down for the Monroes & eye bolts. Both easy shipping. How fer North are you ??

Just took the things off the barn doors that keep them from opening up all the way. They're in perfect condition, no surface rust or anything. If anyone needs them let me know, in a week they're getting tossed.

Why did you take them off?? Sometimes they are very handy & when you don't need them you just unlatch them & they are out of the way.

I like to get in the back a lot and I'm big on things being accessible no matter what and hate the way they only open "halfway". There will never be a time I will say "Geez, I really wish the doors would open less!".

I left mine unattached and my wife opened them on a windy day and they are so light it blew it straight into the side of the truck next to us. So that was the last day for that. Now I make sure to reattach them.

Maybe somewhat random on the excursion forum here, but I have a set of 35x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson Baja claws. As I remember, two are low tread and two are pretty well half bald. I got them this way. They have been rollers on my 78 but I just bought new tires for it so I would give these away if someone needs them. The two that are low tread would probably make decent full size spares.

If the whole thing (lights and brackets) fit in a flat rate box I'll take the whole setup.
Lemme know.

Plastic brackets are in good shape. The fog lights themselves maybe not so much. Maybe due to vibration from the diesel, the metal light diffuser cage that surrounds the bulb broke off inside the housing. As far as I can tell, you can't take it apart to get it out. The 05 fog lights I have are identical but with no metal diffuser so maybe Ford just did away with it? I also reused the mounting hardware that secures the fog lights to the plastic brackets when I mounted the 05 fogs to the new bumper. If you're still interested let me know.
