Brad's 2004 Ranger
I see everyone making these all the time so I thought..I might as well make one. I bought the truck knowing I wanted to do minor upgrades, seeing as I don't have a steady job(worked all summer..and I work a few night shifts during school) I know I can't do much modding...my job might be picking up soon though! Heres my truck so far..and I am a VERY proud owner
Cell phone pic of the night before I bought it..
First Wash..
Next was to change out the stereo(which was acting weird anyways..) JVC Single Din with bluetooth. Great upgrade!
Next speakers. I only budgeted for the front set right now..rears, maybe in a month or so. Infinity Refrence, a great choice!
My rear handle was rusted beyond belief..so..I dealt with that this weekend.
(How do I Get rid of that rust?! Handle looks great..but the rust under it sucks!)
Stickers
So, clearly its not like, overly modded yet..but it's feeling more and more like my truck, which is what I want. My LED's should be here this week for the cluster mod, and the AC will be done soon. Also need to get an amp for the sub I have. And I need to order my LED tailgate light bar..than I should be done till after the winter(*should..probably not). Within a years time I'd like..
New rims
Maybe Mud tires(these are brand new 2011, so we'll see..)
Hella 500's.
Tint on the front driver/pass.
Trailer hitch.
All within a year. This is my first vehicle..and I love it And thanks to you guys..I keep wanting to add more!! LOL.

Re: Brad's 2004 Ranger
Oh, and I also MIGHT add a CB..Idk if I want too or not. And I forgot that I am going to paint some interior pieces.
I got the..WLED X-5. Suppose to be a direct replacement, so, we'll see. I got them in blue to match my blue HU. Its been uh..almost 10 business days, and I live in Canada..so I am hoping by the end of this week they will be here.

And thanks Morgan! I have been following your build since my first day on the forum..

Re: Brad's 2004 Ranger
I am returning them now. They say within 30 days. You should email them if its past 30 days. I am returning them saying they are incorrect fit, and would like a refund to order new ones. I ordered these last night..they match the measurements(me and my Dad measured the STOCK bulbs and every measurement is the same except one is 1mm out somewhere..but it will fit)..
I went with Blue, high power:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...s%2F74_t15.htm
I ordered 14 bulbs..as I counted 11 on my dash, so I ordered a few spares.

Re: Brad's 2004 Ranger
Got my sub/amp hooked up today! Its an older sub, but I'm hoping it lasts till November(my birthday) at bare minimum. Doesn't really do much at low volume, but it hits pretty hard when cranked up. Spent a few hours with some buddies workin on it. Here are some very minimal pics!
Hid all the wires, so you can't see any except the ones that come up through the floor mat by the amp. I like it Its exactly what I needed to complete my truck for the time..LEDs hopefully next week.

Re: Brad's 2004 Ranger
You don't wanna drive my truck, lol. It's GLUED to the road. You feel every little bump in the pavement.
Nice truck BTW, that door handle is interesting.
