+07 mirrors on my 1996 Mazda B4000. Modded them to keep original power functions.

 

Did that the other day! Man it looks better when it isnt dirty haha

 

That needs to be your new avatar.

 

replaced the bolts that go through the battery cable clamps, removed the rusty step-bars and front mud flaps. going to re-finish the step bars this spring. the front mud flaps i may trim down some and put back on. the dragging noise was bugging me when id be at low enough speeds for them to drag.

 

Well I didnt plan on ever doing anything to this ranger as its my DD and I have other projects but hey we all know how that story goes. A buddy of mine sold his ranger and had a stock pile of old parts so I wheeled and dealed for some stuff I thought would be cool

First off I got new tires today, not really impressive but hey they hold air so better than my old ones ten fold. Also painted the dirty rusted gray wheels up nice and black. But id rather find aluminum wheels


I got some 01-05 (think those are the years) tails installed


Also some better mirrors, I dont see the 06 mirrors looking good on a non-lifted truck so I went with the older style but they are better than my little paddle type mirrors


Now for the different part, The previous owner was a real character and he believed in painted vents and whatnot. Well I finally got done with my undoing of the red vents, red switches, red door panels, and the GD passenger airbag was red. Well I replaced the vents and painted the door panels and airbag. I know two wrongs dont make a right but hey I think it turned out rather well. FYI walmart flat black almost matches the factory black perfectly




I know its the usual stuff but ive had the truck a month maybe? lol

 

more of a "what i did with" but anyhow, flat-towed home a dead dodge neon from the next town over-15 miles away. got it back home in under 30 min. not sure how legal it all was, but i got $40 out of the deal.

 

Washed it yesterday after 2 nice days at 40 degrees in a row. Proceeded to snow all day today.

 

Exactly what happened to me.

 

I didnt wash mine but this morning we had no clue about the snow, started doing front axle universals in my buddies driveway only to get a near white out towards the end of it all

 

I also washed mine today :)

 

Yesterday morning I changed plugs, and wires ready for another 100,000. Mobil 1 and a pure one filter. then I went back to beating it the rest of the day.

 

Put on a fresh coat of mud

 

Switched the wipers, put the cover back on the bed and topped off the washer fluid. I added 5 lbs air to the tires ( 37 lbs)...see if it picks up any mpgs. Might get to that oil change Wednesday.

 

put some gas in it and went off roading and got some contest pics, put tennis ball on my cb antenna, nd just washed it
