Sup everyone, I started to work on my truck about 2 years ago and this is what I have so far.  I bought my truck bone stock back in December 2004.  I'm a senior at Penn State in Civil Engineering so im making progress on my truck even though i got limited cash. I am open to any ideas you have for me. 

Near Future mods include a modded billet bumper grille from an 06 honda ridgeline, new plug wires, more door painting, autometer tach., 2 1/4" custom made exhaust, and more 

 

 

 

 

 

 Check back for new pics all the time as I am constantly updating this page. Please take the time to vote in my poll n' rate my ride and ohh yeah,,sign the guestbook!!

Entered the Bellefonte Cruise car show over the weekend.  It turned out pretty good minus the occasional rain but oh well.  Got a lot of ideas and some good advise on how to make my ride better.  Overall a lotta fun.  As you can see im in the middle of a Corvette sandwich (6/23/09)

Pics of the rims i just bought,,,should be here for next week. (12/13/08)

I tried them on my truck...The back ones fit great but the front ones were off by about 1/4" when they were slid on the axel..  I bought a set of Mr Gasket 5/16" wheel spacers and tried them on.  The wheels fit with them but i lose that 1/4"-5/16" off the lug bolts to attach the lug nuts.  So i got a set of 5x4.5" - 5x4.5" billet aluminum adapters.  They should be on very soon.

Thanks bro. They are really nice mirrors, bought em for 30$ but was sad because later i found another site with the same mirrors selling for 15$ and less, i was like.. wtf... oh well, its all good. I love them either way. I had them hooked up to be blue with the running lights on, and amber when i use the turn signal, but i took the blue off cause i ddint want to risk getting pulled over. :P

Hey nice truck I like the balck and grey thing ya got goin on. I have a regular cab Ranger too and see you have a sub set up in yours and it looks like it would work well in mine too. Just wandering what size/brand are the subs and how much did you pay for them?
