Well i've been busy modifying a logger style box to fit on the ranger. I'm tired of leaning it up on trees and having the sheetmetal bend all to shit.
So far i've built new larger and wider fender openings, bobbed the box 8", and added some body armor/side skirts to the box.
Still need to locate the filler neck, prep the box for bedliner, prep the sides for paint and the bottom for rock guard.
I'm not sure about keeping the box black. I might get some paint mixed to match the truck and spray the sides, painting the skirting/fenders rockguard black like the lower body line of the cab. I think it just looks out of place being black.
Also have to cut the frame back to the shackles and build a receiver hitch rear crossmember and a build a bumper.
Updated pics:
Box all painted, filler installed in box, receiver hitch/ rear frame crossmember installed, frame bobbed, swing out tire tailgate built
Things still to be done:
Bedline inside of box
Bend/install roll bar/hoop behind cab back to tailgate
Build a 1" lift zero rate addaleaf to pick up the rear end from the weight of the new box and tire carrier
