    where to order parts

    best site to order parts for a ranger, weather oem parts or aftermarket?? is there one site that has it all, that everyone uses?
  12. m8r8j

    PICS... just painted my bumper+grille

    both used to be a nasty gray color since my truck is a base model, so i painted the grille gloss black and the bumper gloss white. the empty spot on the bottom middle of the bumper looks good, imo. im going to put two round foglights in it.

    manual tranny: shifting with no clutch
