Hi Mediashock. I just saw your post. I happen to have both an '03 and '04 4-Tech. One was missing the ladder when I bought it. I actually paid $275 to have a new one made by a machine shop. They took about 3 months but did a great job. However, while waiting, I decided to try the 2012 ladder (part number: 292800068) I found it on Amazon for $202. I pulled the old bracket, Matched to holes on the bracket for the new ladder and drilled two offset holes on the new ladder. It works perfectly! I used the new Fabricate ladder and now have a spare ladder (missing the plastic parts as I put them on the new fabricated ladder).
