Talking nOOb 03 Ford Ranger 2.3 5 spd 2wd

Hey there everyone. Im Jeremy. I just bought an 03 Ranger with a prerunner setup for $450. Baja fenders, 3 in spindle lift, and the previous retard cut out the wheel wells of the bed instead of lifting it. But for $450 I think I got a pretty good deal. How's it going?

Thanks! Im in love with it already. I want to mod it already lol. I think Im going to black the headlights this weekend and start looking for 2 in. block for the rear because it is stock and the original owner threw a 3 in spindle lift on the front.

i think im going to peruse the local jy for some 06 markers and do the same thing to them. Does anyone know of a front bumper with fog light conversion? Like maybe just removing mine and putting an 03 Edge bumper on? As in if its a direct fit or modifications are needed? I looked for a while in the how-to's and found nothing related to the 03

----------

Also, thanks for the welcomes everyone!
