Beautiful truck! Big tires would be nice :icon_thumby: and personally, I consider removing the steps to be an upgrade.

Very nice truck. Good find! And FYI, a bugflector on a ranger just makes the bugs hit in the line of sight instead of lower ont he windshield. Doesn't really work that well. i have one on there fromt he previous owner. if i wasnt woried about the holes that would be left, id take it off. But happy truckin, i wish you mank miles of happy driving, and Welcome to TRS!!

I thought about bigger tires.I'm going to add a cold air intake soon and possibly a set of additional fog lamps behind the grille and thanks for the compliments.There are a few nicks in the paint, but nothing noticeable and not fixable.The wife likes the step bars because she is short lol.

I'm buying a some glow gauges soon for the dash as well.I like to customize my trucks. :yahoo:

Don't run primewell tires.

If you remove the nerf-bars, I'd love them.

It's a very sharp truck, you just can't beat the looks of a step-side.

Nice truck. Not personally a fan of step sides(because there isnt much box space) but that truck looks nice. You should definatly remove the step bars. Makes your truck look higher and it will be better offroad. It might look better with the bug sheild removed too. Also I like removing the mud flaps. It looks like you have 16 inch rims. Mabey upgrade to a 265/75/16 tire. JMO.

I found some beefer wider off road tires at firestone.A friend of mine works there and she is dropping off 157 bucks for me for em. Just removed the bug guard and working on the nerf bars to take them off! I'm also having the decals on the sides removed next week.

Anyone know where I could find a replacement fog lamp? As you can see,the seal on the one is bad and it has moisture build up inside.

Looking good, brother! How did the wifey react to you taking the steps off? I didn't notice the decals on the side until you mentioned it, now I see them from your new pics. Love the truck man, and in this case, less is more! :icon_thumby:
