Another Ranger?! yeah I know....

Here is another Ranger I have in my posession. My buddy who is deployed gave me his truck and told me to fix it up for him while he was gone. He sends me a little bit of cash when he gets time. The truck is an 03 Edge 2wd, 3.0 Auto, power everything. Nice little truck.

Here is the Ranger when he left it.

1st thing to knock out was getting rid of those disgusting tail lights.

Then came the billet grille and clear corner lenses

Nice start.

the truck stayed like this for about a month or so. The tires on the truck were shot, so instead of buying a set of tires for the little stock wheels, I decided to upgrade.

I added a Fabtech 3.5" spindle lift to the front, and a set of used Boyd Cottington 15x8's wrapped in Pro Comp M/T's. The tires are no good either, but I got a SMOKING deal on the rims, so I couldn't pass it up.

I have an "add-a-leaf" for the rear end, but no time to put it in yet. Also adding a set of BFG A/T's as soon as he send me some more green. I'll throw up some more pictures as things continue.

There were also a couple thing I had to do that were "behind the scenes" like replace the fuel pump, give it a tune up, replace the brakes, shampoo the interior, peal off some stickers off the window, and polish up the tips on the exhaust

Nice start.

nice!

Thanks guys. I sent him some pictures of it and you could just tell the excitement he had just by his typing language.

Thats a true friend there, tow of them actually. Him for trusting you enough to leave you with a gem like that, and you for taking care of it. Of all the experiences he wil have as a soldier, he will never forget what you are doing for him. THank You

awesome work man! i wish i could have a friend i can leave my truck with like u lol

 

[Josh40601]

I done it twice, he never has been, so he asked me to take care of it while he was gone. He left me witha track prepped R1, 42" flat screen, and a travel trailer too.

Last year I had 5 cars I was taking care of while they were gone. THAT was a PIA.

He's payin for it, I'm just doing it for him

spent like 3 hours this weekend polishing up the wheels and rotating the tires. Rides SOO much better now. The wheels look chrome. I'll post up some pics once I wash the truck

 

[Josh40601]

just got the new tires and wheels. Dont like the wheels, so most likely going back to the BC's, only with these tires. 33x12.5x15 BFG T/A's. Only 200 miles on them. Picked them up for a sweet 450 bucks

I know you don't like them but my opinion is that those rims look way better on that truck. Much more... burly. And you need to get that add-a-leaf in there ASAP.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

looks slick, but yeah the other rims were better looking imo.
