BEFORE
This Ranger was bought on Ebay for $2,600.  It's a 1996 4.0 Liter extended cab 4x4.
I made this bumper out of 1-3/4 DOM tubing using a Pro Tools bender and finished it with some 1/4" steel plate for a skidplate/winch mount. I made this cage using 1-1/2 inch DOM tubing.  It was designed to mount lights, a spare, dual batteries and a tool box.
Here's another view   Here's a closer look at the decal on the hood.  There is a logo for each of the armed services with a POW/MIA decal in the center.
