08 Ranger FX4
Completely stock
T-bar crank and removed the mud flaps
Ford decal on back window
Got stuck
New tires 265/75r16
Front sway bar disconnected and flexing out
New bumper
Keys and shocks
3 inch blocks
New tires and rims 35x12.5x15 Falken Wildpeak A/T on Pro Comp 52 series rim (these tires suck do not buy them!)
2 inch shackles and 3 inch blocks
3 inch body lift made gap guards for the bumper and the bed. Cut the tow package so that it would look right and a lot of other little things to hind the body lift. the truck also now has 4 inch blocks and 2 inch shackles
New tires BFGs 35x12.50x15 with a full size spare
Some flexing
HIDs and some more lights (moved spare tire to the bed)
Was backed into by an 18 wheeler
Let know what you guys think and if there anything else to you think I should do

I agree with fordzilla...ditch the mirror caps...
Maybe make an investment into led spot lights... other than that, I wouldnt change a thing!
While im thinking about it, a buddy of mine had a 2005 ranger just like yours that he used to take mudding... he found out the hard way that the intake runs really low (on the passenger side I believe), and he hydrolocked the motor by going in a little too deep. Luckily we had the tools to pull the plugs and turn the motor over to get the water out. There was no damage, but he did trade the truck in shortly after...lol... you may want to swap out the intake, or at least pull off the part that drops down below the filter...

Here's an update on the build
Painted the flares with bed liner
Custom tune and programmer
Larger filter and 3 inch MAF tube
E-fan take engine a good bit longer to warm up now
I have ordered all the part to swap my truck to manual locking hubs and I will be locking the front end. Also I have painted the mirror caps black and a few other little things. I'm still debating on if I want to paint the headlights. It's just a pain to have to put them in the oven and reseal them
