How it looked when my father gave it to me 3 years ago


How it looks now, after lots of broken parts, labor, and general mayhem and vandalism (because people are AWESOME -_-)











It doesn't look like much work, but there was a lot of stuff done over the years and many (MANY) dreadful ricer moments and immature mods that have been undone for the most part
Worst moment of all

No pics mane.

[SacredCetic]

I tried linking them from flickr and facebook...idk why they aren't working

[bckbruno]

this truck has alot of potential, but in my opinion, id lose the green and the stickerbombs, but were talking about your truck, so my another suggestion is do what pleases you =]

Friend had one of those, they look great lowered!

[SacredCetic]

I appreciate it man, and I think I'm keeping the green/stickers because I like being the only guy with a stickerbombed ranger, and yeah, I need to get my lowering stuff on but I am busy graduating high school and getting ready to ship off for 13 weeks

[rice4life]

Not really sure how I feel about all of this. It's like every cliche thing seen about the whole stance and import scene all thrown onto a ranger with massive wheel gap.

Lower it, and it could be pretty cool with all of the stuff done to it.

^this,

slamming it will help tremendously but i can't get over the sticker-bombed interior, way to much,

[SacredCetic]

finally got my truck lowered and made a lot of changes now that I'm back from training, hope you guys like it

[Yogi_Bear]

Is that the vandalism you were talking about?

[loekaaz]

Is that the vandalism you were talking about?

Well, at least it stands out....

[SouthCarolinaGuy]

is green your favorite color?

[flyingdutchy]

this thing is ratchet, love it!!

[244Brick]

everything about this truck screams look at me!!!! In a try hard way..










seems like a monster can ejaculated on this. Sorry, but i think you should start over. Your truck has so much potential.



Advice: IMO stop trying to be the 1st/ only ranger with this and that motto and build a truck that's so well put together...... it'll scream look at me by your great execution. IDK ATM the truck looks like an inexperienced owner doings. Sorry for being harsh, but i'm sure mostly everyone feels the same. Then again at the end of it all.... I'm some random guy, that you'll probably never meet, giving you advice on a truck that isn't mine.

Good luck with your future modding. BTW i leave in 4wks for BMT

[aLaFleur]

Yea... This could be rad, but you're trying to hard with the bright colors and sticker bombs. I wish that trend had never reared its ugly little head. Keep it ratchet and rowdy, but do it tastefully and you'll have a really cool little truck.
