Well Ive been quiet for a little while. I figure its time to show you you why.
Ive bought a new project. Its a bagged 97 ranger stepside. Yeah, another ford.
Its a silver standard cab. V6 with a 5spd tranny. Hurst Shifter, Billet grille, aftermarket steering wheel, rollpan, fuel cell in the bed, Oh and a full Air Ride Suspension. 3/4" fill valves, 1/2" dump valves. 3/4" hydraulic line, 12 Gallon tank, with a 10 switch box. Lays full frame on stock wheels for now. Before I got this truck it was passed around like a $2 Whoooore. Its been beat on, ripped apart, put back together. I got it dirt cheap ($725) and plan on bringing it back to its former glory. I jumped on it because a) it was super cheap... and b) its a very unique truck. Its one of the few bagged rangers ive seen locally, and i love the look of the stepside. I wanted something that stood out from the sea of s-10s and mazdas. Anyways, enough talk, heres some pics. Sorry for the quality, they were taken on my phone the night i got the truck.
I have some big things ahead for this truck. I have already put in a new stereo. Redone the rear bagmounts, new rear bags, stripped the rear tint.
Future plans include a sheetmetel bedfloor and sides, bigger wheel tubs, refresh the silver paint, some nice black pinstriping, new compressors, new bigger bags (slam 7s instead of 6's) and paint/powdercoat the ENTIRE suspension. Also going to be redoning the interior in the next week or so, dying it black, as well as finding and recovering a stock bench seat to replace the uncomfortable integra buckets that are in it right now. And under the hood needs some real love. wiring needs to be lengthened/hidden, it needs front wheel tubs, and i want to do a SERIOUS painting, cleaning spree of underhood area.
Anyways, feel free to post comments.
