This page is for the few things I have done and will do to her. Priority #1 is paying for her every month, so all the things I'd like to do are not going to happen too quickly.

4 weeks after I bought it some dumb F*** hit my truck when I was parked at work. They didn't leave a note or anything so I had to pay for the repairs.

But it is all fixed and didn't cost much. Actually cost less than my insurance deductable so I paid for it myself. The shop did an awesome job!

In March (2006) I installed an alarm and power door locks. Here are a few pictures of the lock install:

Spring Cleaning. She had a few scratches since I moved a little while ago. I decided to wetsand the scratches out and polish the truck:

August 2006, I decided to add a little "punch" to the truck, so I installed a Pioneer 10" Sub and Pioneer 1000 watt Amp. I kept the stock headunit (coincidentally manufactured by Pioneer for Ford) so that the truck would appear as stock as possible. I built the sub box using 5/8" MDF. It is screwed, glued, caulked, insulated and carpeted. The box is shaped uniquely to fit in the truck where there is almost no room behind the seat. Anyway, here are the pics:

Why is my truck named Betsy 2? Her name is Betsy 2 because she is named after my old Ranger (which was my first truck) Betsy:

Do I have mods for her planned? Well, I certainly have tons of ideas, but for now I am focussing on paying for her. I will be installing an alarm and adding power door locks soon though!

Very nice. She looks great as is, but do you have any mods planned for her?
