I'd do something about all that rust on the frame and front cross member before it get worst and starts weakling the frame..


it is a purdy truck.

I've already hit it with a wire wheel and black rustoleum paint. Plus....it wasn't as bad as it looked in the pictures.

Bah....don't worry about it. It did need to be done......

The rack is in!

Cargo spot lights:

Made and mounted some brackets to hold the spot lights in place:

I also decided 2 forward facing lights weren't to my taste, this is how I'm mounting 4:

I used the original mounts on the rack to run a piece of flat bar between the 2.

Then where the 2 middle lights would mount I added tabs that bolted between the rack and light bar:

The whole thing.....

This rack was obviously not made for a newer ranger....or maybe not for a Ranger at all like it was advertised. So i had to make my own support brackets and what not.

There are washers stacked between the bed bolt and bottom of the rack.......2" to be exact....... I want to eliminate this by putting a 2" piece of square tubing under it all. It would just be better in my opinion.

These are what is going on those light tabs.....

Back window shot for kicks......

Broken out headlight......

Compliments of a DICK in a silver BMW on I55....Thanks!

Hard to see but it's cracked all the way throughout the whole housing.

Driving erratic and then flung something out their window after the 3rd time they passed me. Mind, I had the cruise set at 74mph. Tried to get the plate, but they sped up, and just as I caught up..... they swerved in front of a semi and exited. Bastards.......

Have a new one on the way. I have 10days to fix it as I've already been pulled over by our WONDERFUL police force and cited a warning......

Lights

Finished up my lights.

Switches went here......

4 hella 500's went here:

Notice the new square lights for the cargo area. The rounds ones wouldn't work......these are nice a bright and were cheap anyway so...BAH

I threw some fogs on the bottom, but don't really like them. I'm thinking of putting them under the hood for some working light.

Snow...

w/o snow.....

Did a little poking around and the only elkhart resident who owns a silver bmw is a senior senior citizen, in the range of 90...

Where's your toolbox?

 

[Ranger44]

Lol. Maybe he threw his denture case at me....

Tool box is on an S10 now.

All the tools are at work, so it wasn't really used much.

 

[Ranger44]

Had this happen to me a couple days ago.....

Just so happened to catch while waiting in my truck.....just had to snap a pic.
