Another Ranger Build

Thought I would start a build log on this truck now that I finally have some time. Its an 04 3.0L 2wd, plans of being somewhat off road capable for now eventually down the road will be fully caged and probably do a motor swap but for now its just going to get me from point a to point b.
This is what the truck looked like when I got it (shitty pic) it needed a mirror a real good cleaning especially on the inside it was pretty nasty

First thing I did was put in 6000k hi/lo Hids then the next day went to the shop and had the windows tinted. from there I put in a kicker L7 10 in a ported box with a 500zx amp, amped the door speakers as well.
Then I found these general grabber at2 on craigslist for $400

this is how it sits as of now, just picked up some yellow fogs for in the bumper. Also got a pa/cb from doyouquaxu.
next mod will be making the center console to hold the cb 2 4 in Kicker KS speakers and for switches...
