03+ do you have rust holes? And where?
I have an area about the size of a quarter in the bed thats rusted thruogh... And driversider rear fender lip has broken the clear coat.... Outside of that no other body rust.
In other news. My rear springs are shaped like a w. Lol!
Oh, and the max face cords a ranger can pull is 3, Not 4! Lol

03edge, i doubt thats the case, for the first 3 years i had the ranger, it was washed alnost daily....til my accident. Then life took over, loss of interest, and what not.... Geuss when you just about kill someone due to heirstupidity it kills the incentive. Any ways, i plan to remove the bed in the summer sandblast, prime and paint the bottom, blast the frame ect... Be good as new. Gotta get this truck to last another 10 years

I had a small spot of surface rust about the size of a nickel on my back fender passanger side, right by my back tire and mud flap. I ground off the rust with a small dremel tool then hit it with some POR 15 and some custom mixed touch up paint. You can barely notice it now. A few scartches are touched up as well but other than that not much at all.
I put some rust proofing in a can type stuff on my frame when I bought it, and haven't checked it lately.
For a 2003 that's a 9 year old truck, it's looking very good. Much better than expected.
I wash it at least once a month and do a wax job on it twice a year and that seems to be keeping it in nice shape....At night it looks like a brand new truck !!

Now that you remind me, I also had a rust problem on the bottom door lip, on the passenger side...POR 15 and some touch up paint seems to have fixed it for now. My driver's side door is new due to a small accident and was replaced so I shouldn't have to worry about that for a while.

DS cab corner bubbled a dimes size in the spring. I ripped all the foam out of the corners dryed it out wire wheeled and painted the inside of both cab cornerss. Cut bubble off with a razerblade wirewheeled it it and touched up with primer and paint. I know I didnt stop it but hopefully I bought some time.
I oil the inside of of the doors and tailgate and seems to have stopped the rust in the pass side door edge.
