Need to get rid of the side steps and add a front bumper that's actually worth a damn.
I've been busy.

Custom bumper I guess? Looks like a great ride.
Looks great swick. I came very close to getting a contractor type shell like that as I've always liked them but decided I'd miss my tailgate.
Picked this little guy up in October. '93 Ranger XT, 5spd, 4x4, 3.0L V6. Came with a 2" lift/level and 31x10.5R15 Wrangler Duratracs.
Been hunting around for awhile for a regular cab, short bed, manual transmission, 4WD Ranger.
Saw this one on CL for a good price and good shape and jumped on it, with the plan to build it into a good range/camp/explore truck.
Found the matching shell with crossbars already installed a few weeks ago, couldn't be more stoked.
I plan to drive it down to my parents house near Joshua Tree to take advantage of my fathers home shop to build a sleeping platform/storage in the summer, then stop in Yosemite on the way home. Girlfriend has never been camping so she's on board, which is important.
