wanting to make my 93 xlt look good again

[DirtySteve]

Hey all, i have a 93 xlt it is my daily driver/project. i want to give it an aggressive look to it. Been scouring the internet but having problems finding anything other than a lift and tires that would start the process. It seems hard to find parts like grille shell and hoods that would work for 93-97 years. Any ideas where to start or places to look would be helpful.

It really depends what you want to spend on it. Bushwhacker fender flares and bed caps always add a good look, tires and rims are essential, there are plenty of companies making custom brushguards and custom bumpers (my personal favorite is made by Fearce http://www.fearceoffroad.com/Non_Winch_Bumper.html)
As far as shells, Leers can add a pretty good look but I personally prefer tonneau covers for aesthetics. I don't know of many great custom hoods or grilles for this generation of ranger but a little expanded metal behind the grille adds a nice touch IMO. Have you thought about window tint or a windshield visor?

This is really all I can think of. Hope some of this helps?

And go black, you can never go wrong with black.

I concur. That also reminds me - TINT THE TAIL LIGHTS AND MARKERS!!!!!

Also, angry-eyes headlights add aggressiveness points to your truck! Visibility is overrated

Appreciate the input guys i would like to attempt custom diy bumpers to put my own touch on it but alas the Danger Ranger is currently not running need to fix fan clutch and get tires. Oh and it is black already but unbelievably faded and peeling clear coat. Thanks again guys

Ditch the mudflaps. Get some rims and tires. PAINT.

I know its in serious need of Paint... yeah taking mud flaps off when i finish repairs on Monday or Tuesday. Work long hours don't get a lot to time to work on it.

Uh Steve, whereabouts are you and your ranger from? Might want to check your local regulations:

(Still trying to find definitive info for up here in SK - I was given to understand I needed them to safety my Ranger!)

Do a gen 4 front end swap. Check out Dweano's truck for a good example.

 

[DirtySteve]

Me and my ranger are from Ohio. I see a lot of lifted trucks around here know most people i know have a lifted truck or jeep.

Dweano's gen4 conversion looks good, good suggestion.
