Howdy folks!

05 4.0 xlt first timer. Only work so far is rekeying the locks. Seems extremely unlikely I'll find a cap in green, but that's the next goal.

If anyone knows how to get those bed rails off I haven't been able to figure that out yet.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Welcome to TRS! Not sure about your he bed rails. I hav by had to deal with those. If there is a bedliner, you may need to pull that away in the corners to access tasters that go through the stake pockets.

Pitter-patter, let’s get at ‘er.
Welcome to the thunder dome!
Nice truck bud!

The bed rails are in fact connected inside the stake pockets.. there may be a plastic piece you can remove on the base of the rail where it meets the bed. If not, than you should be able to access it from the inside of the bed (doesnt look like you have a bed liner)
