Hi everyone, I am 18 years old and I just bought a 2000 Ranger XL 2dr supercab 5sp as my first official car. As you can see she is 100% stock but thats all about to change. Here are come pics (the blocks in the back are for weight cause its only 2wd)

I've also added some black floor mats since I took these pictures and I should be receiving my stereo install kit and wiring harness today. I am also going to order some racing style seat covers but I can't decide if I want black/blue or black/red. Any Suggestions?

BTW:My aftermarket stereo has blue lights and my stock interior lights are green.

well that instrument panel needs to change to the one that includes a tach, so when you change that do the green lights as well!

Looks good man! Nice choice on the stick! Give her a good cleaning and she will look like a new truck in no time!
btw You can prolly change the color of the radio if you dig around in the settings enough. Mine can go from blue to green.

I ordered a digital one online that has blue lights so i may change the instrument panel and temp controls to blue and go with the black/blue seat covers.

I dont think mine can do that or at least I have not found the setting in the year i have had it. I prefer the color blue anyway so changing the parts over may not be a bad choice and that will give me a definate decision for blue seat covers to match.


Just to get everything to match well I may change the carpet to black and the headliner and maybe do the dash paint mod but we will see about those because they seem very involved

I am going to put 2 12" subs in the back and my plan is to have seats built into the sub boxes so i can still have up to 5 people in the truck.

$2900 with 5 new tires.
