Hi to all from South Florida.
I am posting my 2002 SLP Thunderbolt. have owed this truck about 18 years. I like it because it is somewhat rare. I have never been able to find out how many were actually made. My guess is around 2 thousand.
I just had it painted recently, and am fixing back up. I just had lightnig bolt grafix put back on bed. I had to have this made from scaled photos, as this decal is not available anywhere. There can't be many Thunderbolts running around with this grafix, as survivors have most all been repainted by now. This is much like it looked when new. Truck is pretty much all stock, except wheels and tires...
Thanks for looking...TBOLT561...
Excerpt from an article on another forum regarding the Thunderbolt:

Given that the relationship was ended after just two years, it seems unlikely those figures were exceeded, which would make the SLP Thunderbolt extremely rare indeed, totaling perhaps 1.5-2% of all Rangers sold in the 2002/03 model years.
Probably a lot less than that considering sales went down in 2003 and a chunk of both model year sales were fleet. I'd be shocked if there were more than 5,000 total. Considering how fast SLP flipped inventory and tooling assets for this stuff after the end of production they certainly didn't hit their own estimates.
This is mine, also a 2002. I have the levels 1, 2 and 3 packages, and some additional options. Would love to know if you can acquire two more bolt graphics and sell them to me. Also, do you have the wheel caps and key fob, and do you know where I can get some?
Sorry, I did not see you message from months ago. If you are interested in getting copy of Thunderbolt Grafix, you can email
Chuck Reis --chuck@crdwraps.
He should still have a copy saved on computer. They should be able to maketgrafix and ship to you.
I do not know where to get key fob or wheel caps.
thanks...
