t5cents's Build Up / Evolution Thread
here are some pics of what i have done over time to my truck....im sure i missed some stuff but it is a good start....and more is defiantly to come...lol

added a tool box
leather seats
new stereo/ xm radio
drove it as is for a wile...first flex...lol
expo center console
added avm hubs after my pvh ones left me stranded...
cb
different lo-pro toolbox
drop in bed liner
got some 31's and thought it was the coolest thing ever...lol
chrome grill and different tires and wheels..(was borrowing the other set and the chrome grill came off immediately)
ranger on tool box
ruined my t-case skid so i made another
first sound set up
got a high lift and fab'd up some mounts
picked up some 31 mud terrains so i sold the A/T's
built a headache rack
got some 32's on 18's for $140 so i used those for a wile
wired up a bunch of lights
mustang dome
broke the cross pin in my 7.5....fixed it and used it for a wile
got some tsl's and got high centered...lol
rocker panel dents after holister hills
chevy hood light
made a mag light mounts similar to Alan's
different deck
different amp
OHC and lighted visors
expo 8.8 w/ L/S
fixed my ebrake
SUPERLIFT TIME
rear shackles
got some 33 mtr's from a buddy for $40
someone slashed my mtr's so i got these 32's from a buddy for free
hooked up a hand throttle
drove up some steep hills...lol
sold those 32 for $40 bucks and got these 31/13/15 bfg muds on chrome street locks for free with about 30% tread
got a winch and fab'd up a mount
mounted the box behind the grill
traded those 31/13/15 bfg to a buddy that is selling his truck for his 32/11.5/15 on soft 8's with like 95% tread...
broke a cv shaft
put an aussie in the front and replaced the cv
next day my radiator started leaking so i put an expo 5.0 one in (4 core)
the next day i sunk my truck in the river and tore the whole interior out to dry
2 inch wheel spacers
gotta do something about this
and that brings us up to today...i bought some 2 inch wheel spacers from a friend for $50 bucks (they are less than a month old) and my tires stick out like perfect now....but its too dark to take pics so ill have some in the morning...im sure im missing stuff but this is a good outline.....and a lot of money...lol
big thanks to R/F and TRS for all the help...with out these two websites and the people on it i would have a stock ranger on 31's and be happy...lol

haha...ya i have had quite a few sets...lol
i have no idea what year they came out of.,.....i saw them on craigslist and liked them so i made them fit...lol
and the expo rad was kinda a pain....i think i got one that was made for a truck that didnt have a/c so i had to move my lower mounts forward about 1/2 an inch...but if u got one that was for one with a/c it would bolt right in...
