Yea, I guess so but I drive 100 miles a day so I can't have a 1987 Corolla. Its gotta be dependable.

I agree with Lynn
What you keep calling a beater, I think look pretty sweet!

Congrats on the new ride.

So what are your plans for this one?

I think I'll hold off on doing that JW, I do enough business with Stevet as it is.
My headlights, corners, tails, K&N intake, Gibson Exhaust, Bulley Bar & a few other small items are on order. Will order the 3 piece grille soon & I may actually have it color matched by Stevet...I bet you never saw someone paint a billet grille huh, I just want to break up the chrome surround a bit.
Going to get an estimate on tint & spray a liner in. Which one do you guys recommend, Rhino or Line-X?
Also need to order a Spare tire mount for in the bed but the only one I can find so far for my Ranger is a Fabtech & it doesn't look like you can lock the wheel with locking lugs.

Also I'll be installing a rollbar as well. Then when all this is done I'll save up for a lift, Tires/Wheels & gears.

That I haven't decided yet, or the wheels or the tires & size of them.
Thats another phase of mods & I'll make plans for them once the 1st 2 phases are done.

Headlights, corners, bullbar & K&N Intake installed today. I'd take pics but I'm to damn tired to walk outside again.

Yesterday I got the Windows Tinted & had the Gibson Exhaust installed. Today is the Rhino Lining & if I feel up to it install the new taillights.

Can't you leave anything alone?

Don't stop. I respect someone that can't.

Good looking rig, Rick.

Thanks guys.
Had the Rhino Lining done today & installed the tails, fitment is horrible so when I feel better I'll have to do some modifications to them for proper fitment.

Thanks JD,if mine could be half as nice as yours I'd be happy.
Hopefully I'll get my Black Double/Single Grizzly Roll Bar, Light Bar & 3 more sets of PIAA 540's ordered this next week.

Heres the next mods & most likely the last for the exterior for a while, gotta get a audio/video system in the truck soon.
Double/Single Complete Kit, this is a pic of the double kicker but mine will be single kicker, double bar:

& then the Light Bar with 5 PIAA 540's.

I'll pick up the spare tire carrier up some time & design a better wheel mount & send it off to the welder & then powder coat it.
