So I've been working on my ranger for awhile and finally decided to make a build thread. I bought it April 2009 and with what money I've had I started building. It is 2wd and has a 3.0 (will be a 5.0 one day). Also came with a 8.8 with 4.10s
bone stock
First thing I added was a set a cragar 342 wheels 16x7
Then I picked up some HIDS from DDM and I couldn't love them any more
Next thing that came was my K&N intake, people argue if it adds power or not but I like the noise
Ordered a cherry bomb glasspack for 30$ and had a custom cat back made that dumps before the rear axle. Loud and proud! Also blacked out my tail lights and corners
Next came a torsion crank and new tires! Procomp xtreme a/t (LT265/75R16)
Then I decided to get a superchips tuner and power pulleys to add a little bit more power
Then did some little stuff inside the truck like changing the dash to blue leds, added 2 10" subs with a 800w amp, a trans temp gauge, and a cb radio
Then I started lifting, got belltech 6400 shackles and rancho shocks all around
Then the latest thing was the fabtech spindles =) They gave me more lift then I though so I lowered the torsion bars to level it our but still left the front a little higher, but derp now they are too close to the bump stops so ill be ordering an add-a-leaf this weekend so i can crank them back up

Ill keep updating as I keep upgrading!
