My Ranger... Two years in the making

Hey everyone,

We used to own a beautiful black Cobalt SS Sedan and have since moved on to mustangs. I just wanted to say that We love the cobalts and after looking around your ALL LOOK GREAT! i love the new turbo SS's and enjoy the 2.2s equally. Site looks awesome and I miss the old crew! You guys and gals keep up the hard work! I'll be lurking and all of us USA made vehicles should be proud of our great vehicles!

My old cobalt:



My current Stang 2008 GT Auto (JLT CAI, Dyno tune, Steeda UDP, Charge plates, Spider drive shaft, FRPP 4.10s, Pypes offroad x-pipe, pypes violators, bbk long tubes, BMR LCA, BMR suspension upgrades--- 12.76 @ 114 best with dr's)





My 2002 Ranger FX4 2 years in the works:

When I bought It two years ago:



After 6 months (lights, new tires, tint):



After 1 Year (body lift, wheels and tires):



Current (after black headlight mod and brushguard and tons of other mods):

thats a pretty clean good lookin truck. i always liked a nicely done ranger. theres a point to where you lift them too high, but if you don't lift them enough it just looks rediculous. yours looks awesome

I like it. It looks clean. The only thing is that brushguard, while it looks nice, when it come down to it for actual use those are garbage. If your just going for looks than that's a nice brushguard but for real off road purposes aside from tree branches that's just going to bend and break.

Dude it's amazing how those mods take what is typically a prissy looking truck and turn it into one tough looking man mobile . Great job, keep it up !!

LOL Ive had rangers for 5 years... The 3 inch BL is a great way to get those tires to tuck. fiberglass fenders are 3 times as much and look retarded. If I told all of you it had a suspension lift you would hae never noticed. Body lift- Did myself for 200 bucks, every other option: at least $1,500. BL.... Why not?

I hear ya bro, This truck hardly ever gets wheeled, Its a show pony. I have too much time and money to blast it down trails. I have an old Bronco II I'm buying for that. Not My DD

Yeah then it good if its just show, Yeah my buddy does off-roading in his truck and he has a custom built bumper made to take anything out. If he rear ends someone there gonna be screwed. He's gonna add more support on it like around the headlights and you can kinda see it in the pic there are 4 tabs above the fog lights, That's were he mounted his KC day lighters but hes going to move them cause they don't get protected from anything there.
