I decided to create a build thread since I'll be doing small modifications here and there from time to time.
My 2003 Ford Ranger had been in the family since it was brand new. My dad bought it for almost $13K brand new. He used to drive to work everyday until he started buying more and more vehicles. Well around 2007-2009 that truck really has done nothing but sit. So I told my dad "I'm going to drive that once I get my license." Well at the time, a 2001 Dodge Caravan was going to be the vehicle that I would drive. So my dad and I made an agreement that if I work x amount of hours, that he'll let me drive the Ranger. Spring of 2010, there was no use for the Dodge Caravan...the thing was that it was mine (given to me) so I got the money once it sold. That money went towards the Ranger and in a couple months the Ranger would be mine. The time where I would drive the truck is coming up so we bought brand new tires and new bumper (my mom backed the truck into a tree).

Bumperless:
New bumper:
Fast forward to the future:
I got my license, I drove the Ranger everyday to school. Maintained it by changing oil, cleaning, etc.
This is how it looked when I got it:
The faded grill bugged the heck out of me so painted it black using Krylon Fusion paint for plastics.
This is how it pretty much sits as of today:
My truck didn't come with a tow hitch so I got a tow hitch.
Ranger has been towing a 5X8 trailer since I got that tow hitch:
I want some new wheels for the truck, but since I can't afford it right now, I decided to paint the current wheels black. So today I prepped the wheels. I don't have pics right now but will upload when I get a chance.
My future plans:
-New wheels
-New aggressive looking tires?
-06+ tails and corners
-Suspension lift
-More mods to come when I can afford and think of any that interests me.
