Hey guys, my names Rob and I have been on the forum for a couple years now. I never really post but am always on the forum. I figured its time to make a build thread and share my truck. It’s a 2001 XLT 4x4 I got the truck in November of 2012, I joined the forum same day and got started on the mods right away.
Here's my truck as of now...
Ill take you through the stages leading up to how it is now.
Here’s how the truck looked for a bit.
Within a month I had my body lift and wheels/tires on the way. 32x11.5-15 Pro comp mud terrains on pro comp 15x8 rock crawler steelies.
Around Christmas I got some custom fit seat covers, they fit nice and snug and hide the ugly stock seats. Also purchased a toolbox and some bed rail covers.
Did the headlight and throttle cable mod.
Decided on a Flowmaster 40 original and had a side exit before the passenger tire for a while. I’m currently running it dumped.
Not to long after the exhaust I got some Hella lights and had them on the bumper and eventually mounted them behind the grill. Personally I think they look cleaner behind the grill, thinking of doing an hid conversion in them sometime down the road.
Saw a few guys installed a front hitch, I don’t off-road much but figured it would be a good replacement for the stock tow hooks, plus I love the look with a shackle up front. Also got a brand new rear hitch from friend for free, it wasn’t made for a ranger but did some fabrication and made it work nicely.
Saw a member bed line the flares and bumpers so I tackled that to get rid of the ugly fading.
Got some 06 taillights and emblems.
I’m going to split the post up, stay tuned for the rest.
