Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
After 6 years and just a few $$$$$$$$$$ I decided to sell my 03 CTD. My wife said it was a love hate relationship - I loved it and she hated it. 
While I enjoyed building and modifying it in the end it was sold mainly because of my body and the clutch not getting along. My "new" truck had to be an Automatic and altho I was originally thinking about a Mega Cab for the family the short box idea didn't sit too well with me. A fellow TDR member offered to sell me his 08 and despite the fact it was still a Quad Cab because I knew the history ( he bought it new) and what he had done to it I bought it. He towed a 26' Arctic Fox with it so I new it would pull my 28' Frontier. It only has 113k kms ( about 70k miles ) on it and is in excellent condition. My wife commented that "you could drive it just the way it is - RIGHT ". Fat chance of that happening :-laf.
Before I sold the 03 I removed the canopy, swapped over my running boards for the factory tube bars that were on the 08 and removed my box mounted aux fuel tank. I also removed my Light Force 170 driving lights but left the N-Fab light bar because it was such a pain to install in the first place. I sold the 03 to a co worker of the mechanic who helped me build the engine. I got some money, an aluminum front bumper ( built by Bandit Bar - Similar to a Herd ) with LED light and 4 tires and rims from a 2015 Laramie as well. You never get your money back but I am happy with the deal.
Because I don't like low canopies and this one interferes with my aux tank I will sell it and install my white one from the 03. For now it will remain white as we are leaving on holidays next week. I do want to get the spray in box liner extended to cover the top edge of the box and tailgate as the red canopy had worn thru the paint.
