Only thing right now would be my Depo taillights. Between the truck payment and the insurance payment, I don't have much left over for modding.

i have a 2000 off-road 4wd and its black. i've got limo tint on the drivers and passengers side with the rest being factory. i put on a le-bra tonneau cover, bug-flector guard, vent-shade visors on drivers and passengers windows, clear-corner lights for the front end, herculiner bed-liner, 33" kelly awr tires with a performance accessories 3" body-lift. soon i'll be going with a dual-exhaust system, custom rubber bed-mat, chrome diff-cover, and some engine mods. these trucks are so fun and there is so much you can do to them. i have 83,000 miles on mine and it has alot more time left in her with alot more mods comin!

Big blue/white stars on the doors. Make it look kind of like an Air Force/utility company truck. Actually, though, they were originally designed to signify a second mail pickup when put on a mailbox. Also have a vintage sticker on the tailgate reminding people to start using zip codes. The previous owner got talking to someone in a post office, and... It's got a tonneau cover and magnet mount CB antenna, too, but those aren't that unique.
Anyway, the first time I drove it to my grandparent's house, my grandfather got all upset because he thought it was the gas company and he hadn't called them.

Headlights, tailights, turn signals, exhaust, new paint job. That's about it for current exterior mods they can see. Interior has underdash LED lights facing pedals, stick cover, two custom built speaker boxes, one behind seat and one behind shifter.
Getting under-vehicle neon eventually, just gotta get paid first. And looking at a replacement for the horn...

Two 2"ID, 25" long Thrush glasspacks, with a chrome tip, in place of the factory exhaust. Throaty, but not loud, and it sounds great at high RPM on the 2.3L Duratec. Oh yeah, and the nut behind the wheel.

Wanting to do the 36 mod

While I am keeping my econbox Ranger stock, right now I am considering buying an older 80's model for the conversion, via classic36pickup.com. That would be a fun project to build, and reasonable to drive. If I swung it right, it would probably become my main truck.

What makes mine different from other Canadian Rangers is no daytime running lights.

Got a Harley sticker on the sliding window too.

Aside from that, it's still stock.

Oh, almost forgot. A custom made cell phone mount made from a $5 Walmart holder and a "PeopleNet Satellite" swivel base. Took me an hour to whittle down a ball joint to fit into the back of that Walmart holder. I'll have to post a picture of it to my gallery.

Mine is a stock Sport edition on the outside except it has a camper cap that has racks for fishing rods and camping gear and a Yakima canoe rack. I put Explorer leather power seats and an Explorer center console inside. I also installed an Explorer overhead console with outside temperature direction and a garage door opener, an Explorer dome light, white faced guages with blue lighting and window pod guages. I am not sure it is unique as it has become a fairly common interior modification but I love the seats and center console and temperature/direction read out and I am fond of the white guages also.

Limo Tint back windows and a strip on top of the windshield, and a little lighter tint in the front (front tint is illegal in CA), Clear corners, I added fog lights to the lower partof the stock XLT bumper, custom made air intake with K&N filter, Flowmaster muffler with no tailpipe, American racing polished 15x8 baja rims with 235 75 15 all terain tires (stock size is 15 x7 with a 225 70 15), Front coil spacers to level the stance, I am one of the very few that has the factory ford bed lid, I put in a Sony Xplod head unit with a 10 disk mp3 changer, a 350 watt kenwood amp with a 12 inch planet audio sub, Radar detector, Hurst Shifter, i installed Aftermarket power windows and the factory ford cruise control kit due to the fact you cant get a manual trans with a non-tilt column with those 2 options, I also customly mounted my sirius satelite radio receiver to the floor consolette and removed the antenna mast and put in a stainless screw to fill the hole.
When i go out T-Hunting, i have a Cobra 25 classic radio that is removable and i made a custom bit that goes into my trailer hitch reciever that my 7 foot fiberglass whip mounts to.
2 super custom features i reciently aquired: a belt squeek on start up and a dash bulb burned out, I havent had a chance to fix them yet.

When i bought my truck i told everybody that i wasnt going to do anything to it except put gas in it and go. 2.5 years and 57k later i've probably dumped $2000 in it. I guess i'm a hypocrite.
