ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
I am a bit late at making this lol. I have big plans for it over the next few months so I decided that it would be cool to finally make one.
Anyways, I bought this truck out of the blue in the fall of 2010. One rainy Sunday morning as I was watching TV I thought about owning another ranger someday. I immediately looked though Craigslist and found nothing exciting. Not exactly sure why but I decided to check carmax (worst buying experience ever btw) and they happened to have a low mile 03 level II twin stick about 2 hrs from me with a free transfer option. I immediately called them, placed the transfer and Tuesday afternoon I was officially a ranger owner again.
So the quick specs at the time I bought are:
2003 fx4 Level II 'twin stick'
59k miles
one owner
bone stock, other than a ford bug shield and a soft tonneau.
----------
First mods were 900bt headunit, expy silver hvac controls, kicker subwoofer (no pics lol) 5% tint and 06 corners

Re: ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
Found a good deal on 15x8's and 32 mts so i grabbed them. I kept it like this for a while, and mainly just little bs here and there. I had another project at this time.
Sorry for the lack of pics, my computer died and I made a new facebook around this time period.
----------
That brings the 'next stage' lol. In a nutshell, went to the 'black out' theme.
mods:
15x8 ion alloys
32x11.50 Yokohama Geolander at/s
TRS D2S retrofits
'headlight modded' tails
last cat delete, flowmaster series 10 muffler and duals at 45* angle
06 headlights (recommended for anyone/everyone)
----------
next stage.
Ditched the blackout theme and went for a more 'oem' look. self explanatory
15x8 pacers
33x12.50 MT MTZ's
06 tails and corners
----------
next 'stage'
black out again. lmao
15x8 procomp wheels
33x10.50 bfg km2
modded headlights
and what finally ended this stage 6 weeks later lmao
my dad picked up an ultra low mileage 07 and was sold on the dsg alcoas
----------
back to oem lmao
----------
sundown SA-8
new toolbox
starting the retrofit.
----------

Re: ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
So Ive decided to make this a thread dedicated to all of my cars, not just the ranger. Ive asked a mod to update the thread title to reflect this change.. anyways..
Haven't really done anything to the ranger lately.. I guess the most notable thing is the lack of front tint. Got busted here recently and just removed it. not worth the hassle anymore. here is the last picture I took.
mall crawlin like a bawse!

Re: ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
Stop modding the focus and mod the ranger!
Jk looks really good.
But seriously, why haven't you cranked the bars and added shackles to this ranger?

Re: ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
thanks man.
lol, the focus is pretty much done now. just a few small things here and there.
The bars are cranked a bit, and have been going up and down over the years lol... the plans over the next 6 weeks on the ranger are: 32s, more crank, alignment, ujoints, replace all fluids, and tint. Im not running shackles because the 31 spline rear sits a little higher over the basic 4x4 ranger. So its not something I need/want.

Re: ranger024x4's FX4 level II build
no bodylift in the future. I was really on the fence but I love my alcoas too much.
