98 ranger build up
Recently purchased a 98 ranger and over next few years (I say years because it will be slow progress due to college). It already had brand new tires when I bought it so I will have skinny tires for a while. Had to replace all 4 ball joints and a left wheel bearing already. Will most likely have to get the trans rebuilt because it's messed up, going to try replacing the solenoid and hope that fixes it. Other than those the next thing will be some off road lights I have 6" warn lights
----------
Buffed and waxed yesterday, next thing is undercoating the truck, gotta protect that clean southern truck from northern elements

One on the left is from a mountaineer and mine is on the right, the extra holes in the one from the mountaineer are going to be my switches for off road lights which I just have to install
