Heres the ranger I scored for $700. It needs a couple grand worth of work but the body is soo clean. Hell the bedliner is even scratch free.

Well I really do like both trucks. I wouldn't have bought the Canyon but the hail damage deal made it irresistable but I really am glad I did. IMO I got 2 badass trucks.

Transmission, brakes, cat converter, tires(but I got 4 liberaters for $100), shocks and strutes, Balljoints, headlights flicker on and off on there own while driving making night driving impossible. It does run though, I drove it home but deffinatly not daily driver material. If I get the light issue fixed I will cruise it at night because my canyon dont have licence plate lights

Oh cool, you went to one of those hail sales. I wanted to get down to one of those. I mean hell, it's just body damage. One hell of a storm we had tho eh? How much did you get it for, if you don't mind me asking? I heard some dealerships were taking like $5000 off cuz of damages.

The GMC Canyon has $2800 in hail damages so they discounted 5,000 below blue book and its just a couple roof and hood dings. I got it from courtesy chevrolet

the lights switch isnt hard to replace.
i would replace the lights switch and the wiper/lights control, since both can cause the same issue.

time to go junk yard hunting my friend.

theres a how-to for removing 95+ dashes. its pretty simple
