I'm new to this forum just bought a 1993 blue ranger xlt 4.0 5 speed and wanted to share couple things I've done so far and what's left to be done

This is the first day I got it



The first thing I did was remove the pin strip and a molding it came with



Also upgraded the radio
Before

After


Cleaned up the headlights and installed some hids



I got a very good deal on some 17in mustang wheels so I bought them and threw them on, Also got tints all the way around




List of things left to do
•06 side mirrors-done
•06 tail lights-done
•96 grill chrome or grey don't know yet
•maybe Plastidip bumpers black to see how they look
•small bazooka bass
•bed liner
•valance for foglights
Couple other things

Looking good!

Thanks Was thinking of putting spacers to bring the wheels out a little but idk I'm going to be towing with the ranger so I'm iffy about it

•UPDATE

06 Mirror swap left is the new mirror right is the old one



Both put on

** UPDATE **

Decided to go a different route and took the mustang wheels off and put some AR172 with 31x10.5x15 bfg's. Stock suspension and no lift



Shitty pic but I do plan on plan on paint them black with plastidip

I think it's a good call on the no spacers. I don't think it is necessary.

My thread of my NEW to me 93 that I've done some of what your wantin to do already (ALSO an FYI>the ONLY year of Ranger to have a chrome grill between 93-97 was a 94):
My 93

Changed Grill, headlights, marker lights, bumper, & valance panel with fogs:

Installed toolbox & Sport Trac tonneau cover:


Also, I'm guessin with the wheel & tire change that you are lookin to go the Pre-Runner look/setup, as the Mustang wheels looked more Street type.........

I was thinking about putting a 95 grill instead of a 93-94 defiantly want to do the fogs soon I like how your ranger looks nice and clean

looking good!

***UPDATE***

Plastidipped the wheels black also removed the bed to change couple brackets and filler neck still need to fix front bumper the sides are sagging for some reason

Thanks

===================
THANKS!

It's not as clean as pics lead, has clear coat fade & hail damage, but here's a couple clearer pics I took today:




It's just a WORK-IN-PROGRESS!
======================================

Your is lookin GOOD as well................

=================================
I see you broke or ground off a bed bolt, that suks. Is that Grade 5 hardware on that cab mount? If so, I would suggest the use of Grade 8 hardware on those mounts and on any future applications. IMO Grade 5 is a little light for the duty.

Yea it broke off I ended up putting a a long screw with a bolt in the bottom for now but I have to take bed back off because I replaced the filler neck and now it doesn't want to fill up the pump keeps stopping so I need to figure out why
