I just jazzed up the Ranger with new paint, bed liner, reupholstered seat, winch and winch bumper. Cool or a wast of money?

I like it. Looks good. Can't see the bedliner though so i'm going to say it was a waste of money if you were trying to show it off to us

I use to teach collision repair at the local high school so I took the truck there and had them do it. I was charged $1,200 for materials, the labor was free. The truck was very rough at the beginning, both front fenders and all the tail and front lights were replaced. I made the front winch bumper.

I will give you $27 and rep for the bumper and because I'm feeling generous, I will pay shipping.

I originally wanted to buy a winch bumper. Since new ones were not available I had to make one. I like it too!

i wish i had a welder then i could make my bumper cause i have an idea kinda like yours just a bigger main bar instead of the smaller like you went with but yours looks real clean on your truck. Now as for paint i personally hate red but it deffinantly makes your truck look better than it did before just hope you don't mind scratches if and when you wheel it, btw i love satin black and also olive drap so thats what im doing with my truck but if you would have gone with it i don't think your bumper would look as good on your truck cause it would have blended in to much. A++++++++ on how sweet your truck looks man.
