Day one photos are on computer that crashed. They are BII sitting in a field without wheels and tires, spray painted white with the wiring burned up under the hood after being stolen.
Fast forward about seven years:
Pulled it out of the field after installing some junk yard wheels and tires, replacing a lot of wiring and new computer. Most of white paint removed:


A few months later the day I got it home from the father n laws shop:

After the first wash job:

The first big upgrade, 94 Explorer wheels:

And how it sits now:

scrapped it , it donated it's Engine , Seats , Center Console and Rear axle to my 97 Extended Cab that i am rebuilding , and it donated it's tilt column and steering wheel to a freshman auto kid here at college who wound up with a broken steering wheel after a friend of his "removed" it for a requirement

in each class in your Freshman year of automotive at the college you have to complete a certain number of requirements , usually between 30 - 40 over a 7.5 week period , you spend 4 hours each day in the shop and 1.5 hours in lecture learning about what the class is about , one of the requirements for a class is steering wheel and airbag removal , this kid let a friend use his ranger and the friend destroyed the steering wheel

^tinted tails make all the difference in the world, my truck looks ten times better now that I did mine
yeah makes it look a lot cleaner. they looked way better, the red and amber where black with the reverse un-tinted, but my mom wouldnt quit whining about how they were too dark. so i had to re-do them... and i forgot to retape the reverse lights before i sprayed . kinda mad about it.

At the dealership in Chicago in 2007 before being shipped to me in Colorado and how it is now. For some reason I am not able to get the pics as large as everybody else no matter how I do the attachments.
