Hey guys Im from Jax Florida and i have a few idea for my ranger and im glad to be a part of this community i drive a 1998 2wd 2.5L 4 cylinder ranger Manuel

but theres a few things i need to do body wise before i can work on more important things :)

this is what my ranger looked like when i bought it.



and after a wreck that ended with the guy i was supposed to get the $$ from became a fugitive and at large now... so no money for me just a jacked up truck...



my ranger in the middle buddies on the left and the other guy.... on the right.. pushed my truck about 12 feet into the white ranger while i was playing football...








so i recently got a jump at a marina and i have now a huge access to paint sanders lifts couple thousand tools... and alot of guys with way to much knowledge... I currently have a 12" JBL sub in powered by a 450 kicker amp.. and it does fine since im 6'4 i could get 2 :( cant have my sit an inch more forward has to be as far back as it get or else im cramped... also i was in a hail storm... so the paint is further more messed up... i mean wtf hail in Florida.. but what ever i plan to repaint bondo all the dent and buy new fender hood ect. but something coming up this weekend is a 3-4" body lift ill be doing at my work with some assistance :)

 

Tough man. I mean srysly...hail in Florida? That's about as bad as hail hitting in a summer storm with 80F weather and them being as big as baseballs that happened here in AL.

 

ya it was bs bout 85 degrees sunny then hail out of no where size of tennis ***** bmws' and Mercedes running lights to get under cover were crashing left and right i ended up parking under an overpass and riding it out ive got pics somewhere ill get them later.

 

Haha I'd just ride it out til I found somewhere safe for my Bimmer.. the paint's chipped really bad right now.

 

I like those headlights. What kind are those?

 

Welcome, glad to see another 4 banger stepside regular cab, like me. Sorry to hear about that.

 

Howdy. Welcome to the site. You consider an insurance claim?

 

ya they told me all i could do was to file a small claims report and that if he couldn't be found nothing could be done... about the lights i really liked them but as u can see one of the plastic lenses was crushed in the accident and the light recently went out... so im planning on moving back to stock lights... *sigh* ill grab a pair form the junkyard since i cant find the part i need...

 

Headlights do look good, where did ya get them?

 

bought it like that... XD i wish i knew where he got them so i could find the cover for the right light... i also have dual exhaust that's my favorite part of my truck makes me feel cool and fast :)
