Got a few cosmetic things wrong, needs a new rear bumper and i need a towing package, came with the stock 16's and some older stock 15's painted black. prob gonna go and try and find some stock size mud tires, do they even make them? has a little bit of rust but i do live in michigan and picked it up in ohio so what do you expect. paid 4300 and has 150xxx on the odo. overall i'm really happy!

Nice truck...I'd be curious about the bottom end if the rear bumper is that rusted...but it could just be a bad finish on the bumper leading to premature rust...

Pretty nice pickup! I would make a custom rear bumper to replace that rusted out bumper. It would look good on it!

Nice truck! Not bad looking other than an easily fixed rear bumper. Check your spring hangers and rear frame. it might have some of that rust as well.

nah i think it's just the bumper, i stepped on it to get into the bed and it almost crumpled, so no way i can take scrap back until i get a new bumper/ receiver. ( anyone want to trade a ranger receiver for an explorer one?) got it stuck, it takes a while to get it out of 4L...Stupid electric shift motors :(. truck has more power than i previously thought.

Gonna start fixing the stupid stuff and do fluid changes then seat covers and maybe a HU that i can hook up 1 10 to. i got a decent box just need a sub.

The bumper is probably fine just need new brackets. Hopefully it's the brackets and not the frame where it mounts...

well i would go check but it's cold out and midnight so i'm lazy. pretty sure it's the bumper itself, not the brackets, let alone the frame.

Sorry for pic sizes, the only way i can get pictures off my phone is to upload them from FB, Dunno why :(












Looks like it's the bumper. i got this truck with money that was meant for student loans. my next purchase with my tax returns if nothing major comes up is a decent semi-auto .22 or a .223. i wish i could afford an ar-15. but i only make 150/week...so whatever
