Where are you guys finding the bed rail caps and tailgate covers for our trucks, and the ones made in diamond plate aluminum? Are there any in the same material but in BLACK or with the stake holes already pre-punched out on the rail caps? Also, front grill guards, the ones made mainly to hold lighting and to protect your front grill, meaning that they don't include the guards for the headlights. I see them every once in a while on a 1st gen, but mostly on Ram Chargers. I can't seem to locate squat. Please help. Thanks in advance.

 

Check GOOGLE - DEE ZEE

 

stuff for a ramcharger fits just fine thats what my front bumper is off of .but yes I agree stuff is hard to find

 

Where are you located? Theres a company or 2 that makes both full replacements like mine (check my gallery) and grille guards, here in TX.

 

If you are willing to spend a littlebit of money, check out buckstop.biz they have an awsome front end replacement, but its a bit spendy.

Never used these guys myself but friends have, good service from what I hear, YMMV.

 

California is where I'm from. Any thing around CA.? Thanks, evryone, for the tips so far. Sure wish I would've yanked off the bed rail caps off of the 1st 1st Gen I owned after I totaled it. Didn't realize back then (2002) that parts would be hard to source.

 

J. C. Whitney still has a lot of good stuff but it is getting less and less all of the time. In their latest catalog they no longer list the door/window weatherstrip kit for my truck.

Not trying to hijack here but, how about a roll pan. I would love to find one for my truck.

 

Chris, good catch. thanks, man.

 

I scored two new-in-the-box tailgate protectors for a 1st gen at a flea market. They aren't the diamond plate, but just plain extruded aluminum. No way I was going to let them lay there for $1 each.

 

The Tractor supply store here has the bed rail protectors in Diamond plate but did not have the tailgate protector
