Re: Mike 69's 2000 4X4 Off Road build.
Hey. I have a question about your front end swap. Did you get the header panel from a1auto? And if you did, did it come with the clips that hold the headlights in?

Nice. Looks great. I remember when my exhaust was that shiny.

Re: My 2000 4X4 off road build.
I have been a little busy & have not posted here about my Ranger in a while. Back in April of 2018 the p/s cooler sprung a leak. Purchased a new p/s cooler from Advance Auto Parts by a company called Imperial part #-241009 but it does not have the integral bracket that the OEM Ford one has so I fabbed a bracket for it.
New cooler on top, old one on the bottom,
Bracket I fabbed for the new p/s cooler,
New p/s cooler & breacket installed,

Re: My 2000 4X4 off road build.
June of 2018 I added a MP-3 player/radio interface so I could play my MP-3 player through the radio speakers. I added it to the spot where the cubbie was so it looks like a factory setup.

Re: My 2000 4X4 off road build.
Dec of 2018 I replaced the tail lights & upgraded to the 06+ tail lights.
Old tail lights,
New tail lights,
----------
June of this year I replaced the rear slider in my 2000 Ranger because the glass was pitted & the coating on the frame was peeling.
Interior shot with rear slider removed,
Exterior shot with rear slider removed,
Exterior shot with new rear slider installed,
I had to remove the rear jump seats & the rear interior trim panels to replace the rear slider, when reassembling the interior trim panels I left the rear jump seats out.

Re: My 2000 4X4 off road build.
My latest adventure with my 2000 Ranger was to find a replacement bed for my truck since the old one was slowly rusting away & I almost put my foot through the floor it was so bad. I looked around at a lot of local JY & they were all asking $600.00 + for a used bed so I started checking on craigslist & found that people that wanted to sell the whole truck which I had no place to keep. After a few weeks of looking I found one in northern NJ that had some rust on the floor & front panel of the bed, & since the only good part of the bed in my Ranger was the very front of the floor & the front panel I figured I would fix the one I found using some sections from mine. After a few e mails the guy offered it to me for $100.00, so I drove from southern NJ to northern NJ to pick it up.
Old bed,
Replacement bed,
Rusted section cut out of floor, l/s lower section of front panel, & l/s of front bed support,
Welded in fabbed new front bed support,
Welded in bed floor patch,
Welded in bed l/s lower front panel patch,
Today I ran a chain across the rear in bed tie down hooks & used my engine hoist to lift the bed onto its front panel so I could coat the underside with POR-15, & knock out a few dents.

Re: My 2000 4X4 off road build.
Today with the help of my wife to operate the engine hoist we installed the replacement bed on my 2000 Ranger.

Thank you. Here is what the underside of the old bed looked like, this is what road salt does to a vehicle.
