Hi Everyone!
I want to start this build thread not because a lot has been done to the truck and needing to catch everyone up on it, but because I have some plans and ideas for the truck and want to hear others input and also get some help along the way!
I introduced myself in the in the introduction thread here but a couple members let me know this would be the best way to start off by posting here and creating my own thread!
A quick summary is I had a 2000 Ford Ranger as my first vehicle in 2011 but had to get rid of because I ruined the transmission doing 4WD things in a 2WD truck haha. I always loved the truck and Ranger so I have been looking for one a little awhile and finally found one that i thought had great potential and also was a killer price that it was too hard to say no to.
It's a 2006 FX4 Extended Cab with a 4.0. It has 147,000 on it. The previous owner used it as a daily but had got a Tacoma and didn't need it any longer. He updated it slightly and throw in some extras with sale, which made it even harder to say no to. But it has a Century topper, kicker sub, amp, speaker, Sony radio (guy was a electrician so the install is clean), Pro Comp wheels and 32 inch tires. The bad is bed floor towards the front of the cab and supports are rusted (but it is due to a plastic liner) but this is the only area and the rest of the truck is super clean, he had a failed ball joint that caused the driver fender to sit on the tire and damage it and lastly is he was planning on adding a front locker but never got to it, so the front diff is not currently in the truck but it came with the truck and is sitting in the bed.
I'll do another post after this to avoid this one getting any longer of my plans and ideas! Hope to hear from and meet some more people!
Here are some pictures of when i picked it up!
