Ford did it from factory on the FX4 levels.

I think I'll just do the bumpers, I am still hunting for Fender Flares that aren't $500 for a set of 4.

You're no fun

Id drive it.

I <3 Projector retrofits...on I'm not done yet for light output on this *****.

35w 5000k setup is only the beginning.

I'm looking at the VLEDs LMZ 45w fogs, some 6" off-road lights powered by some VLEDs LMZ 45w bulbs...and possibly a 2 foot LED light bar in behind the grille and maybe another one back under the rear bumper.

Things are happening...

Bilstein shocks went in and some 265/75/16 tires with new wheels went on. Hooray for Faceballs!

I check the bushings and they looked good. Sway bar links, shackles, balljoints are all newish...not much more on suspension I could do. Time to go take it to eat some mud.




On the hunt all over the interballs and earthballs for the following
-Single bucket driver's seat
-Explorer center console
-Auto dimming mirror w/temp & compass
-Homelink
-Mustange dome light
-fitted rubber floormats
-CB Radio
-Traction bars
-LSD rear end
-Some brakes
-LED bar lights
-Full grill guard
-Fender flares

Other things I plan to cram in its muffin:
-My old headunit from the Saab
-backup camera
-Back rack

Yeah most of this stuff is easily found...some not so much. By the end of summer this all should be in.

Here's the truck offroading.



So somethings have been scrapped, like the seats and what not cause I don't care enough to bother.

As it sits is pretty much done. I'll update if I do things.

Right now I have some Lower Control Arms, ball joints, stronger t-bars, tie rods, rotors, drums, pads, shoes and bushings all coming for this thing.

I bought a mustang dome light, I need to wire that and the front lights soon.

So...pretty much stopped putting money in the truck...because I'm going to need a 4 door truck if the Saab is to become a permanent project. So anything I had planned...pretty much went up in smoke. For now the truck gets parts as it needs it.

Actually the way it sits is pretty good, the only last thing I may do is the Mustang dome light mod. Otherwise this thing is For Sale with this post. $11,000 126k miles. With all the goodies I added, in case anyone is interested. I actually love this little truck, it is a total beast in the snow, everything works and has been more reliable than a Saab. This truck might out rank the Maxima as far as fun, reliable and dependable.

Truck didn't want to stop anymore...I wonder why.

How could you put on new wheels and tires and neglect to see/fix those brakes?

Because when I looked at the pads and rotors they have about 40-50% left on them and the brakes were fine. The pad clearly broke away in chunks.

its going to start breaking more and more its worse than a gp

Truck is getting some new parts.



It also fits in my garage.

When you see it

I still don't get it.

Its still kickin.

Whelp Mr. Ford Ranger. It has been real, it is time for me to get a full size truck....DETAILS COMING TONIGHT
