Hello Everyone, I'm here with my finished project (almost)

[DustinB43]

Hello all,

I'm new to this ranger forum, I've completed my summer project ranger just recently.

I bought this 2003 2.3 Duratec 2wd ranger for cheap, how cheap? $700 bucks. low miles for a low price too, 100k miles.
The thing is, it was side swiped on the drivers side.

Other than the obvious body damage from the swipe, i've had to rust repair the cab corner, wheel well arch, 2 cab mount brackets and 1 part of the frame, rest is solid.

Now, with the front grille and bumper painted, American Baja rims, and General Grabber ATX tires, she's starting to look like a truck!

Way to stick with it...

Just my thoughts here... but the words "Completed" and "Ranger" don't fit into the same sentence. You probably have three or four things in the planning stage already.

LOL so true!! i don't have a lift yet(or at least leveling kit), going to replace the shifter bushings, shocks all around, probably front coil springs, replace brakes in the front, replace the rear drum brakes with mustang disc brakes. probably could use some KC lights and a bull bar.

you're 100% right

"Complete" is the word we use to help manage our illness.
