Rangerdriver99's Build thread

[Daniel C]

Alright. I guess i'll go ahead and make this my build thread. Any modding i do i will post up in this thread plus pics. There will be a crap load of pics. Anyways on to my story. My truck is a 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0 automatic. I have had her for 4 years. Since september of 2005. When i bought her she had 160,000 miles give or take a few. This build is going to be a slow build because i am attending school to be a medical assistance. Plus im unemployed right now. Anyways enough about me. On to my thread.

this should be in rbv under construction if this is a build thread, but that doesnt really matter...

what really matters is your truck, its sweet, love the wheels...

what are the future plans? more chrome?

 

[Daniel C]

i looked for a build section but couldnt find it. Thanks for the comment no more chrome lol. The wheels r it. I plan to do a roll pan in the rear 4x4 fron valance w fogs. 4/5 drop. Actually i do plan to have a chrome front bumper. Mods i didnt list are ohc and 06 tails.

 

[mc_muench]

sounds like a solid plan, remember pics...the more the merrier

oh yea im in the process of figuring out how to make my mountaineer seats fit in my ranger. There is a way but i heard u have to swap seat tracks but you have to do some fabbing in there too. and its harder than it looks. Me and rangerman4158 is gonna do a write up on this and submit it after were done. So everyone will know how to install explorer and mounty seats in a single cab ranger. The reason i bought them is because they look a hella better plus there leather powerd and heated.

Those 03 lights i got from a buddie who had a 03 fx4. cause he bought some 06 tails. Then he recently traded his ranger in, and he put the 03s back on and sold me the 06's for 15.00. No I dont plan on painting the front valance. I wanna get a chrome bumper and get a 4x4 valance w/ fogs.

Chrome w/ fogs. Nice. Where did you get the clear corners from?
