Product Description
Ram 1500 Regular Cab Long Bed, 2002-2008, w/ Molding: 10-Piece Full Rocker Trim, 8" (TH42933)
For a 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 regular cab with the long bed and side molding, TH42933 is the record. Its tag reads "2-door, Pickup Truck, 1500, Regular Cab, Long Bed, w/ Molding." The kit is ten polished stainless steel pieces, 8" wide, filed as a Full Kit that "Spans from the bottom of the molding to the bottom of the door."
Short bed or long bed?
Compared with TH42931, the only thing that changes in the data is the bed: that kit says Short Bed, this one says Long Bed. Same cab, same 1500 tag, same molding tag, same ten pieces and the same 8" width. The record doesn't explain what differs inside the box, so pick by your truck's bed length and, if you're not certain which you have, check the paperwork or call 877-752-3811 with a photo of the whole truck.

The steel
For the 2002-2008 Ram 1500 Regular Cab long bed with molding, ten 8" pieces cut in the USA from polished 26 gauge 304 stainless go from molding to door bottom on 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime without harm.
Confirm the 8" band
Measure from the underside of the molding to the bottom edge of a door. If it isn't close to eight inches, call before buying; the group's other width is 10.5".
Molding condition
The molding is the upper boundary for every piece. Re-secure loose sections and replace damaged ones first.
Preparing the band
Wash, rinse and dry. Alcohol-wipe from molding to door bottom, working into the corner under the molding. Touch up chips.
Fitting ten pieces
No layout is in the data. Use the product photos, separate the sides, and label each liner. Hold every piece in place with painter's tape and check that it fills the band evenly before you peel.
Pressing
Pull back a few inches of liner, line the piece up between the molding and the door bottom, and press along as more liner comes away. A firm last pass seats it.
After
Swing both Ram doors fully, look along the rockers, and wait a day to wash.
Weather
Dry and mild, or in a garage, with parts warmed to room temperature.
Matching the sides
Measure piece ends from the door gap, and set the later ones to match so every view of the truck looks the same.
Care
Mild soap and a soft mitt, then a towel dry.
The ten 8-inch Ram pieces are TH42933, UPC 691821398591; questions go to 877-752-3811.

Installation tips: Rocker Panel Trim, Full Kit
- Unpack all 10 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
