A little about myself. I'm 16 and I live in western Iowa. My dad bought this truck brand new, a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 Flex 4x4. He gave it to me 2 years ago when I got my permit. He now drives a 99 1/2 ton Chevy Silverado and he never stops hearing Chevy jokes from me
A couple of buddies and I started a Metal Scraping/Recycling business about a month ago, we make about $200 each a day, so I plan on putting most, if not all, of my money into my truck.
Questions, comments, criticism, requests, or suggestions are appreciated and welcomed!
The mods I plan on doing:
01-03 Front End Conversion with...
Smoked Headlights, tail lights, cab lights
HID Headlights
Flip Out Touchscreen radio (ANY SUGGESTIONS?)
Black Honeycomb grille
60/40 Seat Mod

This is when I first got my truck, it was completely stock. Didn't have money so I washed it by hand.
A couple of weeks later, me and a buddy did some off roading, and his 2008 1 Ton 6.4 Diesel got stuck. So the Ranger Danger came to the rescue
Had my truck parked out on the street during the winter and a guy came sliding around the corner and hit me. Did a lot more damage to his vehicle. Only Broke my valance panel. He did a good ole hit and run. I seen him a few months ago and had a nice little talk with him at a local restaurant.
Fixed my bumper, my dad put it in the ditch a few months prior, cause Buzzed driving is drunk driving haha
Added 2 4ft CB antennas (hard to see)
Had one of my older buddy mechanics change my oil for me, went to Walmart right after with his GF and another friend and a oily rag was forgotten on the manifold. Only melted the dipstick.
Added a 3 inch suspension lift kit. Add a leafs and torsion keys
Temporary plasti dipped my grille and Ranger XLT emblems black
Fixed the rust on my rocker panel
Black 2 Tone, used undercoating. 5 layers
