Thanks JW. Hopefully my plan works out & I don't redo mods over 2,3, & 4 times like I have on Black Ice & my Eclipse. Sure would be nice to get it right the 1st time. Doing a 4X4 is a totally diferent animal for me so it will be a new experience for sure.

It's lookin' great, Rick! But how can you call that a beater?

I sure wish I had your energy. You just got it and you already have a dozen mods done to the thing! I'm stalling right now on some cleanup mods on the Expy (some of our old mods have worn out, and we need to either redo them the same or do something different, and that'll cost more ;) )

Thanks Eric, any car I use for my daily driver I consider it my beater. I wanted to get the 1st phase done & then mods will drop off drastically as I have run my mod money account dry.
Hopefully the O/T picks up so I can start on Phase 2...my Audio/Video system in the cab.
With the grille, roll bar & 2 sets of PIAA's on order & hopefully showing up soon the exterior should change a bit more before it all comes to a screeching halt. I'm counting on the exterior being done except lift, tires/wheels & Gears(phase3) for the Truck Jamboree.

Thanks Jimmy.
The Grille is suppose to be here Friday as well as the 2 sets of PIAA's. Don't have a clue where the Grizzly Rollbar or Lightbar is though.

Thanks guys. Wish I could get all the mods done quicker but since my Heart Attack I've been doing very little O/T so I've got to wait. My Mod account is pretty much empty now so phase 2(Audio/Video)will have to wait until probably near summers end.

Thanks Lynn, it was Dec. 13 2005, spent a week in the hospital & over a month out of work. As soon as I got back they where bitching about all the O/T we had in Emerg. Maint. so I put myself back on nights to cover an open shift. Less stress & more money but not much O/T now.

It went away Mort, I really wasn't happy with it. Maybe because it replaced my Truck & I felt empty without a truck. The Ranger can never replace my F-150 but this will have to do.

Thanks
I'll be installing my KC Light Bar, 2 sets of PIAA 540 Lights that match the PIAA's on my Bullbar, Coverking seat covers, 2006 Fender Badges with FX4 on them & (2)4.0 SOHC stickers for the hood Saturday. My Black Firestik will be here next week & mount between the 2 sets of PIAA's on the Light bar. Hopefully I'll order my Black Aluminum Delta Toolbox next week. My Bama Tuner should be here next week as well.
That will finish phase 1 & I'll be moving on to phase 2 finally(AUDIO/VIDEO).
Its pretty sad that I've had the truck a month now & just finishing up with Phase 1:
K&N Intake
Gibson CatBack Exhaust
Bamachips Custom X-Calibrator 2 programmer
BullBar
1 set of 540 PIAA Offroad Lights on BullBar
billet grille
KC Light Bar
2 sets of PIAA 540 Lights mounted on Lightbar
Rhino Lining
Black Backing Heads,Corners & Taillights
Tint
Hood QuickLIFT
Coverking Seat Covers
2006 Fender Badges with FX4
(2)4.0 SOHC stickers on the hood
Black Delta over the top Toolbox

GREAT, anytime I can help. My Badges,& vinyls should be here today. I don't think I'll be getting to the lift & Wheels/Tires until next year some time. It will be probably 3 or 4 months before the Audio/Video/CB..etc. will be done. I want to strip the cab & sound deaden the whole interior.

Heres a few of the mods yesterday, the hood stickers didn't turn out to my liking so I'm ordering 2 more & try again.
