Default Did a few things to the Black Beauty and finished the Blackout

Original Post:
http://www.fordrangerforum.com/vehic...ck-beauty.html

UPDATE:
Been working on her the past couple of weeks, and just wanted to show y'all what I've done so far.

Plastidip'd the chrome spotlights

Added Flood lights for Reverse lights (very handy)


Had some extra Plastidip cans so I decided to see what it looked like on the rims.
Here is the Bare Stock Rim


Plastidip'd Rim Chrome Cap in case anyone wanted to know what it looked like


Passenger Side Done



Blackout Complete


Looking into getting new tires (maybe some 32s or 33s) since my treads are getting a little low. wish i had enough money for a lift or 4x4 swap

My dad and I made it a while back. Pain in the butt to size it down to my truck (found it at my ranch. think it might have been a roll bar that came off a jeep or full size truck), but it was worth it. lights were pretty inexpensive as well so thats always a plus.

Body lifts are 200 bucks. If you want to lift it, stop spending money on plastidip, rollbars and cheap lights LOL.

Truck looks decent though. Def need a lift and 33's

Don't want a body lift. If I got one I'd have to get rid of my grill guard and that's not gonna happen. If I get a lift it'll be a suspension/spindle lift. Also plastidip is $6 a can. The roll/light bar was free, and was put on a long time ago. The spot lights on top were free (got lucky) and the floods were 4 for $100. Really haven't spent much money on the truck seeing as I've had it for almost 5 years and that's all I've spent on it

Drill new holes in the brackets. It isn't hard
