WOW....did you actually have to steal body panels from 3 different trucks to make that? And that was the BEST front drivers fender of the 3? Wicked man...

I like your style. A Little too much flair, but I like your style!

actually everything thats blue is from another ranger, the origianal (red) before i got it was put into a ditch and tore the entire driver side up.. i couldnt tell you why we put the passneger door on there as well..

and the fender was actually in amazing shape, up until i rearended my cuzin after sliding on some ice.. (he has an 88 ranger ext cab 2wheel drive though.. lol)

its funny how all of us first gen. rangers get these nicknames i am small beast. i like the truck though looks like we are in the same boat though, truck, school and no money, and no substitute either. keep the beater look, i noticed it helps hide the dents & scratches if its really muddy

Why do all these poor college kids end up with ugly 1st and 2nd gens? I see beautiful 3rd gens for < $1.5K all day in MN. It's a good I don't have the money and space to buy/store them all.

news flash, the YOUNGEST 1st gen ranger is already 20yrs old, if u have a 84 or 85 its only a matter of a year or two, i think under 5 years is close to gettin historic tags, also in NJ there are also restoration tags, the year limit is 20 years for that aswell, no inspection as well.
