And its a sport, does it make it the Xl or xlt? and what is the difference between? just need some back up against a drunk friend who rambles on while i am the guy who is getting his certification

the sport package is basically a body colored grille and bumpers, i think it was for an XL or an XLT package. judging by you're fender emblems, your truck is probibly an XL. easyier way to tell is if the truck has carpet and a cloth seat, it's an XLT.

as for rebuilding it, it looks really nice as it sits, very clean for a 12 year old truck! you could get some craiger soft 8 wheels for it, ditch the chrome wheel arch trim, and get some 06+ manual mirrors for it if you're looking for some nice mods though! :D

3 inch body with 33 bfg all terrain and a brush guard with fog lights, chrome the trime.

Needs a lil work , and will be good as new.

Exactly. Not much at all. Grill, lights, qaurter panel, door can be bent back with hammer and sand it out smooth and paint, hood as well. Lower bumper maybe.

unfortunetly it is, with a few drunks who wanted a show, it was my friends ranger at the time and i just wanted it out, insult i know....worst part, there was 87 bronco and something-year 1-ton just watching

I did replace the starter on it cause after i got it towed back to my place, it was having an issue starting.....been running great since then
