Hello! Newbie here! (Build log?)

[CamTheHedgehog]

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time member.

I’m CamTheHedgehog, or Cam for short.

I own a 2003 Ford Ranger. Edge Plus package, Supercab, 4x4, 4.0L SOHC, Limited Slip, and step side bed.
Give or take ~250k miles.
She’s my daily driver and weekend warrior.

• Mods/projects so far: 265/75/16 BFG All Terrain T/As, (I work at a tire shop), torsion bar crank maxed out, that reversible air box mod, dashcam, new EDGE decals, and cheap Best Buy stereo from the previous owner.

Future mods: Off Road Lights, new grille, 2” leveling lift, better stereo, exhaust system, new window molding trim, new badges, new hitch(stupid rust), undercoating, and paint correction.

Known problems:

• 4x4 is broken,(motor or tccm)
• Beginnings of the dreaded timing chain rattle
• Front diff needs a rebuild (leaky and noisy)
• Some paint peeling on the hood (edge trim has fiberglass hoods lol)
• A bit of rust
• Needs new headlight housings- they are eBay special quality. I will replace them with slightly better eBay special quality ones
  
• Needs a new grille- it’s really faded and cracked.

This will be copied and pasted as well into a build log, for anyone who wants to waste time watching a teenager build a ranger.
