Default 2001 Edge build - andrewiovanna

Hey guys, I've been lurking around the site for quite a while and figured tonight with nothing else to do would it'd be a good idea to post my project log of my ranger.

Lets get down to specs

bought the truck march of 2014

2001 Ford Ranger Edge- 96,xxx miles, Manual (Never, I repeat never going back to auto!!)
4.0 SOHC motor

bought for $5,500


next was to replace the stock muffler, rusted off two days after I bought it! went with a thrush, not too bad of a sound.

next step was to get rid of the granny bars, driver's side was rusting out



after that the plastidip fun occurred, figured black would compliment well. list of parts dipped:

-Grill
-bumper
-corner lights and third brake light
-rocker panels
-stock wheels (Had bad oxidation)
-side emblems

After the plastidip figured the back bumper could use some love, had some surface rust, grinded it out and applied rustoleum spray bed liner



went to pepboy's and grabbed a gallon of herculiner to do the bed, removed the stock liner and got to stripping and grinding, had a few water holes, grabbed some sheet metal, bent it out, and gorilla glued the pieces over (was not going to pay to have it tack welded if the holes were small and superficial) and covered up the holes. also grabbed a kobalt toolbox off a guy on craigslist!





next step was to get to painting the inside, removed the door covers, all the air vents, glove box and the interior below the steering wheel, pretty satisfied with the results



never hitting mud again, street tires and stock height did not go well, but looked sick with a fresh mud paint job





+06 mirror swap, snagged on amazon for $40 a set, great upgrade


after seeing some of my buddies cars and trucks with the niteshades on the lights decided I should get on the bandwagon as well, two light coats and got a great dark cherry look, lights are bright as well so it isn't unsafe



went up to massachusetts and had to take some photos while up near a cell tower



My girlfriend loves when I stop and do a little photo shoot
