Well after looking around on my external drive I found some old pictures of my truck after I rolled it...(unfortunatley I couldn't find any from the accident) but anyway I found pictures when the "mod" bug finally bit me! hahaha here we go:

Here it is right after the rollover in 2002, had basically got it together and on the road, it was 3 different colors of black:






Then right after I got it out of the paint shop....some mods I just don't know where my head was:





Back in the Houston RPS days:



A little New Mexico Wheelin:






Some HIDS:


Little Mud:




And Current State:



Skidplate

Sliders (thanks to Matt)


And Up and coming MOD:

 

nice looking truck i could use those bed sides but they are a step side

 

Lookin good. How you like those headlights? Ive been considering on them.

(The black Halo projectors that is.)

 

i vote for the swampers to come back nowz

 

what did u do with ur old clear corners?...truck looks bad *** by the way.

 

I wanna see those new bedsides painted up and on the truck asap!

 

Josh, the projector's suck if you don't put HIDS in them.
Casey...yeah I know....I liked the fact that they dug and dug and dug until the grabbed something...but I didn't like the fact that rattled my teeth all the way to work in 3ft of snow cause they were flat-spotted from being cold.

Tim...clear corners are long gone dude....

and Mikey.....I know you and 4 other people are chompin at the bit......but the wife is having heart surgery day after tomorrow....have a newborn....time is something I don't have right now. But soon....VERY soon....

 

aww, I knew you would say something girly like that,



but on a serious note, hope everything goes well with your wifes surgery

 

Wow dude I never new your truck was rolled!!!

 

Not rolled rolled, he meant rick rolled

 

LOL we rick rolled my best man during his speech at my wedding!

 

Am I old if i remember all these photo's?

 

Where in NM is this pic? Its an awesome shot.

 

lol at the rickrolled.


truck came a long way from being rooled. Hoe much more cover as far as width do those bedsides give you? I may get some or push my stockers out further and make a piece that covers the flat part of the step and smoothes it into the cab.

 

Ryan that is off I-10 WEST of Albuquerque, NM. And yeah it was ROLLED ROLLED...ask Matt he's seen it...well so has Casey...the door sill plates are green/tan.....doors are white...LOLgives it charachter.

Zach LOL no man....I remember all your trucks...LOL

Andy it's enough to stuff a 35 all the way up without hitting

oh and Ryan I've got some more pics from that trip uploading that I think are cooler...

 

I have them on my truck if you get them take the little vent tube off the bottoms. For some reason i dont get they face forward and you end up with dirt inside your housings, as I have now.

There brighter then stock for sure but not super bright. But they also say on the housings not to put hids in them I dunno why or what could happen.

Andrew

 

As I said on RPS truck looks bad *** man! haha. And I didn't notice the projectors until now... I really like the all black look it gives the truck, I just don't know if I rather buy sound deadening or headlights...

Sean

 

I'm suprized it fit in a garage being as big is sweet rig tho, have any plans for long travel suspension?

 

I remember the Houston days. Is that Scott going through the creek in his old 4X4 Dakota?

 

Roach....yep that's Scott....I've got a few more pics from that trip, just gotta dig em up....

As far as long-travel.......I don't think that's the way I wanna go with my truck. My truck is my DD (for right now) and I want a well rounded offroader. I do plan on doing the coil-over conversion which will help dramatically, change gears and put a locker in the rear. Once I have another vehicle then the ranger is going under the knife

 

how hard was it to remove that beside?

 

the stock bedsides? They aren't hard at all....you pop the rail covers off. Then you pry the plastic step trim piece. Then you unscrew the inner fender liner from the wheel-well, then pull the tail-light, then remove all the torx bolts on the top of the bedside and it's off....I actually might try and work on these this weekend, if I do I will take some pictures of each step removing the bedside and post em up

 

DAYUMMMMMM Sliders on a prerunner? thats unheard of

I hope everything goes good with your Wife

Yea neither did I until we noticed the rockers on our trucks were different.

 

hey somebody has to put em to good use.....thanks matt....she goes under the knife @ 7:00 am tomorrow morning....

 

Question about those bedsides... Whats the difference between those and stock??
