im not really what to do about the passenger bedside or rear of the cab as of yet but the drivers fender is savable.

in the future id like to have it lifted with maybe some 33s on it but being a poor college kid prevents that for now

ive already upgraded to a pioneer head unit and put some memphis speakers in the doors as they were both blown and i got a killer deal. the doors and fender i picked up cheap from a guy parting out a few rangers he had.

the previous owner always had a dog inside the truck so it was full of hair, any way to get rid of the dog smell? ive tried automobile febreeze but the smell came back after a few days.

had to replace the drivers side front spring hanger as it finally rotted through and broke. didnt have the option to remove the bed to fix it and working around the gas tank was a pain.

took off the foglights and valance last night, the lights didnt work and i didnt really like it much anyway. also installed a pioneer headunit and memphis speakers in the doors a few weeks ago.



and a few pics of the hitch... considering taking it off as i wont use it, but im sure it'd be more of a hassle than id care for right now.

You should check out the other spring hanger and the rear shackles. They're notorious for rusting out, and likely in bad shape since your hanger already rusted through.

It's pretty cool. A bit of a project but it'll be fun.

tore that monster of a hitch off as it was rusted pretty bad anyway. finally got a chance to replace the shackles and mounts this weekend too. much nicer to not feel the rear end moving around when i drive it. ill post some new pics soon.
