Hello from North Dakota
Wanted to stop by and check out the forum, just got my first Ranger and just needed some helpful ideas on customizing and keeping it looking nice.
Its a 2000, with shell and "sidestep" box with shell. V6 3.0 4x4
I work in the oilfield and need help on keeping it clean. Im currently looking for some cheap 60/40 seat covers (under 100.00) that I can throw in the wash once a month. Im currently using black fitted sheets and rubber mats. Seem to help, but don't look the prettiest on the ride home from work. Its my first "new" vehicle and want to take great care of it.

Re: Hello from North Dakota
That's one dirty truck. Luckily for you white trucks are pretty easy to keep clean, I would recommend making sure it is waxed regularly as the wax acts as a barrier between the dirt and the truck and allows debris to be removed a whole lot easier.

Welcome to FRF!
Just what Tom said, give her a good wash and then wax on wax off!
I looked at this site called 'Pro Seat Covers' and they offer some cool looking covers but may not fit your budget.

Re: Hello from North Dakota
Thanks guys, been keeping it pretty clean, this pic was taken after a good storm, had to take it out on site and thought I would just have some fun with it. Not sure about the seat covers tho, someone told me that regular seat covers would fit, you just have to stretch them and use small bungee cords.
