so i've known since about day 2 of owning my truck that i needed a new truck bed. i knew that underneath that POS plastic bed liner there was two big holes where i should have bed mounts. i found out the other day just how bad it was. i found a new bed on CL for $100 with tailgate and tail lights. barely any dents and the ones that are there are all on flat surfaces so easy fixes. no rust. it was perfect
here i am towing it home
then i took out the bed liner of my truck to see this.....
i'm going to start body work on the new one as soon as possible. i think i'm going to go with a newer dark metalic red color so i'll do the bed now and the cab in the spring time
also you can see i've added a set of new headlights and a new fog valence sporting a new coat of black and new fogs. i'm now the second ranger in the enfield area to have fogs in the holes.
man its been a while since i've updated this. i also painted all of my flares and side trim satin black. same as my valance. it improved the look so much
got my windows tinted this past week. i bought a set on ebay for 20 bucks. installed myself. a big project but i like the way it turned out. i did 50 on the doors and 35 on everything else
tore my bead off today. new one is going on tomorrow. i'll leave it primed untill the spring and ill paint the whole truck at once. ground down the frame so i could undercoat it the right way. i took off all the speed clips because half the bolts snapped and i didnt feel like paying 100 bucks for new hardware
this was my solution to the speed clips. i used 1/2" x 13 bolts. i welded the nuts into the holes where the speed clips were. in theory it should work exactly the same. ill post pics of the finished product
a few mods have been made.
first i put in a 160A alternator i got off ebay.
i removed my thrush turbo muffler and just put in 2" pipe. the thing sounds mean
i also added lights to my 06 mirrors.
plans now are to save up my money so come spring time when i get my tax returns i can get a 4" lift and some 33x10.5s for her. and maybe a new comp cam while im at at
