This is the evolution of "my life". It all began in November of 2000. I got my second vehicle ever, a brand new 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 SOHC 4.0 automatic 5 spd. extended cab stepside with medium graphite interior. I don't have any pics of it on "day 1," but everything that is on it already in the first pic was installed before I drove it home from my dads dealership: Beatrice Ford Lincoln Mercury. The majority of these pics are scanned (took a lot of scanning and editing), so bear with the picture quality. As you will be able to tell, everything is organized by viewing angle and group of picture taken. I didn't take pics from every angle at every period, but I have on here the ones that I did. Just click the page numbers at the top or bottom to navigate through "my life"! I don't have updated pics of some current modifications- soon to come!
