My 2000 Ranger build

[Doug Metheny]

i started taping off the spots and spaceing n stick the lights ot spots n then marking drill holes but the temp droped really fast so i went in side so tomarrow hopefully if my buddy and the weather holds nice th elight will be on tomarrow or the latest saturday night hopefully

neat little fact i never knew of leds that there is no power and ground its all the same

 

[Doug Metheny]

well i didnt get to start today bcuase my wires didnt come in so i decided to rerun my system and make everything nice and im about to fix the seats but tomarrow my wires should be here and i have lost my adult help on this its just going to be me my nefew and good friend working on this i did go buy a united pacific L.E.D flasher 2 terminal 12v today but cant find the place to mount it but i do know its uder the steering colum n dont know how to get there

and anybody with tips on the lights and such please send them my way

 

[Doug Metheny]

ok guys wlel i tried to start the lights today but afte ri got done cutting the seat up to make them both buckets and mounting the cb on the dash and ect it started to rain but they will be on tomarrow lets just hope no more rain! my plan

run all the lights to either the fusebox or the battery can deicde what i want it owuld prob be better to us fusebox and i think its safe since its only 0.080ma for each light time that by 30 thats 2.4 then the cab lights are 0.150ma each time that by 5 thats .75
thats 3.15 amps all together so thats not to much consedering that the smallest fus ein there is 5 amps

this is what i did today

the fridge

sorry but i dont have many pics of before i started and how the amp n stuff was

it really needs cleaned

 

[Doug Metheny]

i was not going to get off roading tires i was going to get me some 18 or 20in mickey thompson custom lockers then one day buy a attachment i seen in a cataloge that makes your truck a dually in 10mins its pretty neat but i might just go with a 4 or 5 in lift that looks good from what i have seen

My dad was a trucker for nearly 35 years and ended his career with a rollover... I don't want the lights on mine.

when i said overkill I was talkin bout the hood scoops, window visors, pinstriping, and running boards. the lights look decent but the other stuff makes your eyes wanna look in all different directions.

This is just my personal opinion, don't take it to heart. truck looks great.

 

[Doug Metheny]

o bub no offence was takein and i hate that litrl blue thing that starts at the hood and goes down the truck and the running boards are coming off soon might go with some chrome ones tho. and the truck might be painted black n then get a tueno cover and cut holes for the atannas and put silver raceing strips with red accints down the side of the raceing strip then paint all the hood scoops visros and such white make it all set with each other
