2000rangermg build

I have been a part of this forum for a little over a year now. you guys are very helpful. I thought i should make a build thread. i will try to update as much as possible but it will be a slow build.

My truck is a 2000 xlt 2wd 2spd with the 2.5L. when i bought the truck the PO put the 07 bed and seat in, bulbar with some cheap lights, linter the windows and had tinted head light covers.
The day i got it.

First thing i did to it was fix the rust on the cab corners and wheel wells and hurculine the bottom.

Then i spaced out my grill lights because they were way to close

I will continue on. i still have some thing I've done after this. some things i have done that was not in pictures was replace UCA both sides and replaced passenger side shackle and mount because the mount rusted out and broke. Let me know what you guys and girls think!

Looks good!

Definitely like the grill lights spaced out better than they were before

Thanks man I love the all black bit it's a pita to keep clean. In the summer a lift might be coming. My step dad just got the new ram black edition and I'm really tempted to completely black my truck out to match his. Like I've said before your truck is really sharp to
