Default 10rangersport's build

Well I've been meaning to make a project log for a while now and I'm finally getting around to doing it. This isn't going to be the fastest build because I'm not only building my truck, i'm also paying for my self to start racing motorcross this year.

Alright to begin I have a 2010 Ford Ranger Sport that i got with 7,500 miles on it. It came with tube steps, the towing package and a tonneau cover.


The day I bought my truck:

Then i took off my bug guard:


Then came the drop-in bedliner (don't worry it's gone):


Plasti dip and a toolbox (eventually took it off the grille):



Then a tbar crank to level:


I got bored one day so I painted the diff cover:


Then came the halogens:





Then I took off the halogens and got a 24" china light bar (best $60 I've ever spent on my truck):


Next I got 265/75/16 Kenda Klever M/T's (Mud Terrains) which I'm thrilled with:




Then I made a headache rack out of 2 inch square tubing and expanded mesh:



And that's how it sits as of now but there is much more to come:

Future mods:
-LED pods that came in the mail while I was making this thread
-3 inch body lift with the hitch modded and gap caps
-33x12.50r15 kenda klever m/t's
-15x10 mickey thompson classic baja locks
-prekeys and belltech shackles
-headlight mod (have a separate pair of headlight half way done)
-roll-in bedliner

Like I said this is not the fastest build because I don't have all the money in the world but it'll get done eventually lol. comments, criticism, and concerns are welcomed

Does anyone think a 3 inch body lift would look fine with 265/75/16 for the time being or should I wait until I get my 33s in the summer

I'm probably going to install it before 33s but I just have to make sure I'm gonna be fine with the way it looks since I still have to regear to 4:10s before I get 33s
