Thank you. Its been crappy out. I haven't had a chance to get good pics yet but it looks killer with the new line x bed liner. I ponied up for the premium so it'll stay blackedy black black!! Premium has the uv protection so it won't fade to gray

I agree. The list is long and it won't happen fast. I'm goal oriented and always like to look forard to what's next, after I celebrate an accomplishment. I plan to have this truck a long time so I'm in no rush. I'm really enjoying it though!!!

It's been dark and rainy this week but after having the truck since Wednesday I think I can conclude this thread. I ran my hands down the body like a young man with his first lady. Lol. I'm happy with the color, finish and it's smooth. It has everything back on it with a new line x bedliner and...

Lol. I've been working 7 days a week for the last 2-3 years and have put any free time into home improvements. I paid the truck off last June and so I have the money I was making payments with building up since June. The truck has been a very dependable work truck and i recently retired it so it...

Yes sir. Just shows if you have want to pimp your truck and have the cash, almost anything is possible. Lol. Happy holidays mhoward!!

When I was at the line x shop getting my bed liner they had a add for retractable running boards for a full size pickup. I spoke to the line x guy about them, he said you can get them for a ranger but you' have to wire them in is all. Price was $1,699.00. I knew if you have the money you could...

I've been hoping to conclude this thread but unfortunatly it's not over yet. So far, Ive keept hoping for the best, but this week I'm preparing for worst. I keep assuming the paint shop will do their diligence and complete the paint job. I scheduled the bed liner a 3rd time believing they were...

Yeah, I figure the running boards can get caught when off roading but I see lots of lifted rangers still have them on. So I was wondering if those are city 4x4s or if they unbolt them before they get on trails. I mostly looking to do some camping and maybe some gold prospecting. Im a big fan...

I've had a 4cyl standard cab. I didn't like how small it felt. Im 5'9". Since then I've owned 2 4.0L v6 extended cabs. Both were the 4 door. I love them. The 4.0L v6 has lots of pep and I have 3:73 gears in the one I'm driving now. If you end up getting an extended cab I'd recommend getting a 4...

Ok, I can see I'm going to have to keep this conversation going myself to start. I believe my factory running boards are aluminum by the exposed area on the one on the driver side pictured. First I thought they were powder coated but these may be anodized. After all the trouble my paint job...

Black is even harder to make it look smooth. In your profile pic the paint looks pretty good. Maybe just touch up any rock chips and polish. A good polish can make most oxidized paint look new again.

The owner says he will fix everything. But as most who have delt with expensive repairs either on a car or a house it takes perseverance. Friday I drop the truck off for what is supposed to be a final time. There are about 7-10 nibs or dust and sand grains and the 2 defects in the picture. I...

Ok, so I am overly picky? I like my trucks to stay looking like new and dont want to scuff it washing it all the time. I plan on doing a porclain, ceramic, or c9 protection. In the videos and descriptions I've read they do a surface correction. Is that similar to smoothing out the clear? And...

Ok. I'm sure some are tired of my paint thread so I'll start another discussion. I like this forum out of the 5 I'm on because it's not divided into so many sub forums that the topic is missed by most. A lot of the same people contribute to multiple forums as well. I hope to see them here as...

Today was the first day I really had a chance to look at the paint. I started out by going to the parts house and buying a shammy and oil, filter, and I already had a new air filter in my garage. After i had the oil changed I when through a brushless car wash because I'm scared I'm gonna be...

This is my third experience with a paint shop. My first complete paint job. This is typical to me. Everyone wants to promise the moon but do as little as possible to collect a check. If you come back with a list of 10 defects they will usually do a few and hope those help you over look the rest...

I drove my truck home tonight!!! Oh my god, im so happy to be done with this. Its not show qaulity, its adequate. They fixed a few of the things and polished the paint better. The interior was cleaned better and the overall appearance is much better. I plan on getting the porcelain or c9...

If you have power windows and door locks you should keep a small window breaker so you can exit the vehicle if you lose power in deep water. If Dean didn't already cover it, an intake snorkel

Updating my paint job journal. Lol. When I called the paint shop after 3 on Friday they moved the ready time to noon Saturday. Saturday I called from noon till 2pm and no one answered. So I took a drive down to see why no one was answering. The shop was closed and my truck was inside and the...

I mainly use Google images, YouTube videos, and forums. What ranger do you have and what are you interested in doing with it? Drift, street n strip, lowrider, rock crawler, mud slinger, stump jumper, cruiser or something of your own creation?
