Budget 2005 ranger xlt project log
So just being 17 and all i was fortunate enough to find a 2005 Ford Ranger xlt 2wd 3.0l that was in decent condition to start with for a low enough price. Paycheck to paycheck i have been adding to it over the past few months and i think its been coming along well. I cant get the photos of when i first got the truck but i have some photos of the new wheels and tires.

BUT just got some 2006+ mirrors and i will colormatch the caps and also ordered a new lower bumper that will look 10x better than the one that is on there now.Also ordering some 2 inch lift coils with shocks in the front to level it out. I will post more once i get some of the new things on. |

Nice looking truck! It's in better shape than my '08, but then again I live in Canada, where road salt reigns supreme in the winter

As I said before, nice truck! Reminds me a lot of mine.
Keep us posted! |
Nice truck, it would look even better if you painted your front valence black.
I guess I need to read above lol. Carry on. |

I need to do something with mine. It's a custom setup. But comes straight out the back and squeaks because it rubs on the spare. I've been thinking of doing something similar to what you have. |

Clean looking truck. Subscribed.
And if you are planning on installing the coils yourself I'm your guy if you have any questions. I know every single nut bolt and part on it. |

Plus put seafoam in to clean the injectors... Mirrors hopefully tomorrow. |
