Whatsup guys. Finally sold my 01 cobra a few months ago :mj: . But anyways needed a truck since I got back into enduro riding so I decided to go for a 02/03 Harley truck. Found a 2003 100th anny truck a couple hours away so I jumped on it! Optioned with adjustable pedals, sunroof and auto rear window. Mostly stock just dropped 3" in rear, a system, backup camera and air shocks.

Before I brought it home.

Always loved to rolling fogs in the cobra so I decided to modify the headlamp assembly to be able to roll just fogs. Just opened up the assembly and shaved down the ramps to allow fogs + parkings. Then spliced some wires and bam.

Time to drop it. Probably the biggest pita ever to grind off the factory hangers from the frame. Took about 8 hours. DJM 4" drop kit (5" because I used my 3" shackles) with shorty hotchkin bumpstops

It's no cobra, but it's a nice looking truck!

What a great find!

You won't meet yourself when you are in one of those.

It's been a long time since I've seen one but doesn't it have the same engine as the Lightning?

Should be fairly easy to see 500 at the wheels. I have always thought that trucks look incredibly mean without a bed. But I can just imagine how little traction you would see.

Always loved the Shamu paint scheme on these. Very nice trucks, 22 in reps will look sick too.


Had a Lightning for 8 years and always were a couple of them on the meets I used to go to.

dont do a 6lb lower unless you got funds for a new engine. It's a gamble. nice truck.

If you do a KC, put some Raptor efans in it. It will most likely over heat in traffic with the stock clutch fan. Even though i love how my KC drag kit works, it does tax the AC.

Nice truck and sick drop!! I almost bought an 02 Harley truck myself. Although I feel someone who doesn't know these trucks would think it's a custom paint job for an Oakland Raiders fan lol

Awesome truck!!!

One of my old buddies used to have one. They move.

I think in my knowledge it is the same motor as the Lightning just a different upper pulley. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Why’d you get rid of the Cobra? I LOVE Harley’s, especially that color, always been a fan of it. My friend had an 02 with tune, pulley, etc and would always see its tailights vs my 01 Cobra when it had just bolt ons.

The first batch of Harleys were 2 door’s only I believe non Supercharged. The later one’s became 4 door and came with the Lightning engine but with a bigger pulley and a safer tune thus making slight less boost and power. Still fast and can be surprising for those that dont know.

i used to have an 02 harley, sold it on here actually. was a great fun truck. i had a c-notch in mine, dropped 3-5. also ran the 22" reps (if you can find a set they really set it the truck off). had a few engine mods, ported blower, smaller pulley (cant remember size) intake, tune and exhaust. was great i just needed something that could tow a little more
here it is with the reps
