Red31's Ranger Log
Figured I'd start one of these, I haven't done much yet but I'd kinda like to see what everyone thinks of it so far and what they think of my plans for it. Plan on updating this thread for everything from daily maintenance to major Mods. Thanks for checking it out!
The day I bought 'er. I was so proud of my first vehicle! http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...1-img-0208.jpg http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...0-img-0231.jpg First thing that I did was remove the chrome dealer decal and replace the peeling Grille and Tailgate emblems. No pics of the process but it was a chore and well worth it! Next I bought my AVS window visors and bug shield, couldn't believe how different it looked. Then inserted a Spectre Air Filter. Also took off that tacky chrome plate lol http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...2-img-2499.jpg Next I picked up my Better Built, Black Diamondplate tool box. http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...9-img-2625.jpg Next was the sound system. I picked up a 10" Kicker Bass Station, I liked it because it was all in one and easy to remove if I needed more space. Also got my Kenwood KDC-348U head unit and 2 Kicker door speakers. http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...4-img-2616.jpg http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...8-img-2620.jpg http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...7-img-2622.jpg http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMG_2630.jpg That's about all the major things I've done so far. My truck as it sits today. http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...6-img-2610.jpg... Future Ideas: Wheels and Tires: I'm not sure yet. -ATX Slot Rims (Black with a Machined Aluminum Lip), wrapped in probably Goodyear Wranglers (subject to change). -Possibly painting the stock steelies until I can afford the new rims. -New Stock rims if I come across any in better shape then mine and at a good price Exterior: -Headlight Mod - Nightshaded Tail Lights -Looking into bed rail caps -Replacing Pinstripes or Removing Them Lights: -Wanting to put some Blue LED lights that will shine onto my floorboard. -Underbody lights and LEDs behind the grille? (Red) -LED Tail light bar -Blue LEDs behind my instrument cluster and blue or red LEDs behind my Heating and Air controls. Well that's about it so far, thanks for reading and I'd love your input. As you can tell I have a lot of ideas and more to come in the future. How many of these I get to do I am unsure about lol all depends on time and money. Thanks for checking out my thread and I'll be sure to keep it updated! Plan on sharing everything from good washings to major mods!! (Plans are subject to change at any time.) |

Re: Red31's Ranger Log (Pic Heavy)
Well, Cleaned the truck up today... Used some Turtle Wax Trim Restorer on the grille and bumpers and looks pretty good. Also trying Rain-X Anti-fog stuff on my windows...
Went and picked up some graphite today, as well. Put it in the locks on my doors and its working pretty good so far, hopefully wont have to get new lock cylinders after all. http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...-wp-000704.jpg Clean :D EDIT: Turns out the Graphite was just a temporary fix :/... Didn't think I was gonna get it unlocked today, guess new Lock Cylinders are in my future :/ |
Re: Red31's Ranger Log (Pic Heavy)
looks good. and good plans. i very much agree on the new rims. That would be the next thing i would address after you do what we discussed. hell, even different stock ranger rims would be okay. craigslist is your friend.

Re: Red31's Ranger Log (Pic Heavy)
its coming along good bro! i didnt know you had that bass station, i want one that looks perfect for the reg. cab.
new rims and tires would be sweet, id decide if you want to go lift or lower tho before you buy. i thought i was gonna stay with stock and now i want to lower lol |
