David's 2003 FX4 build
Just thought I'd create a build thread for this truck. I don't plan on doing too much to it but enough worthy to keep a log on it. For those who don't know, I got this truck in November of 2013 and have been driving it since then. Sold my 2003 Ford Ranger Edge to help pay for this truck.
Specs on the truck.
Mechanical: - 4.0L V6
- Auto
- 4X4
- 4.10s L/S
Features: - Power Windows
- Power doors
- Power mirrors
- Cruise control
- 4-door extended cab
- Pioneer radio
Pics of the truck when I first got it:
Had to paint them fender flares and bumpers:
Couple random pics:
Got a tow hitch installed, first tow:
Mods in mind: - Headache Rack
- 06+ Corners
- Lift
- Bigger tires
- New wheels (maybe)
- Off-road lights
- Sub
- Upgrade speakers
- Anything else that interests me

Thanks. I plan on getting a lift, bigger tires, new wheels (maybe), 06+ corners or clear ones, headache rack, painted rockers, more mods to come as I find things I like.

I'd do that but the truck isn't black. I wanted to get some for the Edge but I knew I was going to sell it so I didn't. Lol. Like I said earlier, either 06+ or clear. I'm kinda leaning more towards the 06+.

Where would you suggest I get the 06+ corners from?
I also got a brand new Motorcraft battery installed today.

Re: David's 2003 FX4 build

Re: David's 2003 FX4 build
For the corners, what it you painted them the trucks color? It looks like a deep blue to me.
