Not sure why the front left tire has the white wall facing in, it's the only one that way. Reckon I need to get it flipped.

 

Hey everybody first time post here, I just recently bought my first ranger and have been slightly modifying it and joined the forum because of all the help I received on projects

 

these are my most recent.

My two dailies

 

Greetings from a fellow Duck! Class of '76.

 

Went camping not too long ago. I have more images in my photo albums, but these were my favorite.

 

New guy, 3rd ranger

 

Nice looking truck Eddie!

 

thank you, it just came back from getting a new coat of paint. It looks good in the picture but when you see that weird reflection in person it looks odd. Its not a flash or flaw from my camera. That's the way it really looks. I'm not sure what not right about it. I sent it back. I think they never polished or wet sanded or it's still curing. Hopefully its better when i see it Saturday.

 

I can't really see what you're seeing in the pics, but at a guess, i'd say they polished holograms into it, they should be able to correct that by the weekend for you.

 

did my two-tone today, silver paint on bottom of doors, front fenders and post behind doors, dark blue in middle of bed and tailgate. will do the roof in silver eventually. truck looks better at least from 50 ft away or when its not very ligh out. lol. only way to get silvers and blues to match would be to paint the whole thing.

put my winter wheels on it today also.

 

I wish it was...they said the fish eyes were caused by the products the detail shop used on my interior, essentially blaming me instead of being professional.( I'm a chimney mason and When I work inside a customers house I need to control the dust and the house needs to look the same when I'm finished because I'm a professional. No excuses.)

before I dropped it off to be painted I had the interior and wheels professionally cleaned and detailed because I wanted to drive home in a clean new truck. They toasted the interior with dust and did a crap
Job of cleaning it. In my opinion, if you'e a professional painter you should recognize a hazard and take the necessary steps to prevent it from affecting your work. How hard would it be to plastic off the dash, cover the seats and put paper on the floor before you dust it out. All the door panels fit in big garbage bags. Then when you'e done, you just put it all back together with minimal cleaning, which would actually save you time in the end. I thought it was a industry standard to wash the panels to be painted with a degreaser before laying down paint as well. I'm not really impressed with this shop so far. I was hoping for a great experience. But it's been more like going to the dentist.

 

Wow, that's a really crappy excuse, their *only* job is to prep and spray - they can't blame their spray job on anything else, it's all prep, only their prepped the vehicle and they don't get to choose how it arrives to them.

 

just got the spare mounted

 

 

I like the mount. Have any more up close images or a write-up on how you installed it? I curious to see how it was done.

 

ill take close ups in a few min for ya jake, take note though the bumper still flexes a little so i need to reinforce it better

 

Can you wipe your camera lens clean first please?

 

thats as clean as it gets as it has been abused, sorry
