GUESS WHOS BACK!

Hey everyone! Soooooooo finally after several months of the ranger being untouched and unloved someone decided to touch it for me. I cam back to it one day a few weeks ago and every single panel was keyed up and kicked in. Both headlights were smashed including the grill.

But looking at the brightside of that it gave me some motivation to make a few little improvments Ill get some better pictures later. I just got her back.

It's great to finally see someone smooth and paint that lower valence on '06+'s...looks AWESOME!!! I almost forgot all about that HAWT yellow jacked up 2wd Sport....it's amazing what a change a paintjob can give it!

Thanks everyone!

Ya yellow will be missed but it needed to be changed. I was tired of being spotted by everyone everywhere, it was to much attention especially from cops. Were on a first name basis lol.

They did an excellent job to and did a few unexpected things. But next on the list is some new MTRs and some new shocks upfront like my rears.

badass!! great color choice even though upkeep on black is a PITA. But I like it way more than yellow.
This really makes me want to repaint mine. I'm doing sonic blue when/if I do

Looks real good, but I will miss the yellow. Did you figure out who did all the damage? What did it run you to get it repainted?
