Last year I started doing some bodywork on my 1996 Ranger (TRS-2). I needed to fix some of the rough stuff that was starting to rust. Not having a garage to work in, I didn't finish painting it until fall. I actually had some problems with 'fish eyes' that was probably caused by the woodburner I had to use to keep the garage warm enough to paint (blowing contaminents through the garage).
Vanessa and I moved a few weeks ago, and I finally have a garage and space to work.
Vanessa got me some new headlights and clear corners last December for my birthday, so today I put them in.
The corners aren't bolted in yet because I'll need to take them back out to align the headlights.
The chrome trim was looking a bit crappy....
So I picked up some new ones from LMC Truck.
My grill was broke from my last Kentucky trip to Sparkz (bottom). I got another grill from another forum member (top), but it's for a 93-94 Ranger. I ordered a chrome trim piece to go across the top.
Vanessa and I are going to Attica June 5th. We want to hit the trails and check out the TREC racing. I need to get it back together before then. Tomarrow I need to wire up the the projector lights in the headlights and start prepping the bumper and cage to repaint. I also want to Herculiner the bed.
