Great summary! I was anxious to hear the grand tally, and it wasn't as high as I was expecting it go be. That truck is in really great shape for 16 years old!
I have a 2012 focus that I think is worth around the same price as this build I think I’m going to full send it. I live in Chicago and rust is such a big problem
It's worth every penny, especially if you plan on keeping the vehicle for a good while. eBay sells a lot of minor/major mods that can completely change the look of your car/truck. Congrats!
I'm doing the same thing, a part here and part there, I've found decent upgraded interior parts for my truck from junk yards. I'm trying to keep things cheap, but wheel, tires and suspension parts add up lol
Very good job . All the money and time is worth it on these old Rangers . Mine is still gong strong here in NH . I am still beating the hell out of mine . Still a great little worker .
Thank you! I try to always reply! Check out the 41 videos in this playlist. The lift, wheels and tires all have videos! Let me know if you have any questions!
Beautiful truck. You have some great ideas. I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 5 speed 4x4 it's only a 3.0, but I still love it . I bought it with a lift lot already installed. These trucks are so much fun.
Ive got a 2005 ford ranger edge extended cab optioned out, it has the big center console and power mirrors and windows, the only thing it doesnt have is 4x4 and cruise control. But my grandpa owned it since new so its in “1 onwer grandpa driven” condition only issue is the fender sticks out because it was hit in 2006 and wasnt fixed right. But i got it want to make it custom and this video gave me alot of ideas, thanks
dude trust me.... that ranger is fenominal!!! if that truck was her in oregon it would be one of the best looking trucks of all, in this state, its so clean yet so functional
Wish it was easy finding clean rangers like that these days. Some of those things sound like you got for a good price. Looks like this was a few years ago though before the big inflation
What’s the mileage? If it’s less than 100,000 it’s worth around $8,500-$10,000. If it has between 100,001 - 150,000 it’s worth $5,500 - $7,000. If it has 150,001 + it’s worth $2,500 - $5,000. I would guess by the look and what you put in it around $7,500. Great job
John Wilson If you don’t want to spend the money on a lift I put 32s on my 04 ranger a week ago. Looks great, no rub and sits up about 3 inches higher compared to the stock wheels and tires.
This truck is sooo beautiful. You pay a lot of attention to detail and it pays off. I’m still waiting for the ‘68 Mustang convertible re-do. Btw, Brinlee said she wants you to get a golf cart for tooling around the property!
brother what wheel setup and tire size are you running that is absolutely perfectly stanced i love it!!! i have a white ranger just got my torsion lift kit and rear shackles but i wanted to also ask you what size lift and setup are you running? do you have the torsion keys as well? and if so how do they handle?? have you taken your rig on any dirt trails?? also how does it handle on the highway with the lift?? thanks in advance again awesome build!! god speed, talk soon hopefully, -pete
Bryan Eppinger rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F311802699655 Mine are all black. They do rub a tiny bit but it’s not an issue.
I have a white 1998 that I’m doing almost likes your except the lift but I’m doin the power windows kit and all led bulbs but I love mine 2.5l with auto and air
Can you tell exactly what model the trun signal is for because I would love to replace mine i hate the fill of having reach down to find it and my knee hits it. Great looking truck by the way worth every penny and more in my opinion.
I’m so glad I found this video. Just seeing how cheap these upgrades are I’m all in i was thinking about an f150 but it just seemed ehhhh. Nice truck man..
Yeah man I was thinking of spending 5-6 k for a down payment on a semi new truck. But seeing how nice yours is and th needless possibilities I might invest that money on something like this.
im jealous. Such a beautiful great truck. Love how you built this. i cant wait till i pick one up for my self! And i love how its such a humble affordable reliable truck.
@@OhYeahAboutThat of course! Pleasure. And oh sweett for sure! ill keep in touch. You got your self a new sub. By the way, what were the specs for these Wheels? tires/rims
Hey bro nice job on the truck I have the same exact truck make model and year and even color that I’m currently restoring what size rims did you go with on your truck.
You ever thought about 5.0 swapping it? You can swap in the 5.0 OHV engine from the 2001 ford explorers for very cheap and very little work. If this is the 3.0 engine it would definitly be worth it.
Also I did not know you could swap turn signals like that. Me knee is always bumping mine because I have the lower version, I may have to change it out, thanks for that.
You have to swap the trans for the 5.0 too. It'd scatter an m5r1. But yeah. The 302 (gt40) from the explorer belonged as an option all along. Im looking to do the 302 in my 98
Question: Regarding swap of the Pathfinder auto dimming and compass rear view mirror; does the compass function operate without any calibration? Can you make a video how you did it? How did you determine what mirror would be the best application and fit? THX
Mark Firth it was easy and 100% self-contained. It requires no calibration once installed. Choosing it was easy. There’s really only one manufacturer for these (Gentex) and here’s a link. It just requires accessory power and that’s all. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323453031451
Thanks for the info. I have a 2002 Ranger 4.0 flairside 4x4 that I have been making repairs on. 125K and it's a good looking car. I may give it a try. Fuel filter and rear shocks waiting for install this weekend.
Love the build Mike its come a long way I like your tastes, BTW I'm the one you sold the bed rails to with the 02 Black Ranger Edge. Im Loving them btw cant thank you enough!
@OhYeahAboutThat any chance you could give us the name of that lift form the ebay company? You probably said it in the video but I wasn't able to find it. Thank you and that truck is gonna my inspiration for when I start my ranger build.
Try buying a new one ☝️ if you’re thinking about what you spent This is a great looking truck and the ranger goes and goes. You can’t buy a new one this size. Always liked that red. If it had crank windows it would be perfect
Need to know what kind of rims and tires those are. And how you did the lift. Thats the last step i have in doing some stuff on my 06 Ranger Sport. Please let me know
I love the outcome of the truck .... if you get a chance can u make a vid with more detail on repaint of the fender flares I am having the same issue thanks
Joshua Burt here you go. I have the link somewhere in one of these videos. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163753337927
I tried finding a video that you mention but I couldn't, whats the height of the front and rear? I'm trying to get mine to around there and itd be nice to have a benchmark
i think it's a great project and something most people can afford to do. i love the way it looks.
Great summary! I was anxious to hear the grand tally, and it wasn't as high as I was expecting it go be. That truck is in really great shape for 16 years old!
Tyson Hugie ha ha. I’m like a magician. Give me money and I can make it disappear!
if it were my truck i would definitely fix the exhaust pipe in the rear, it isnt reaching all the way to the end, and that can cause a lot of rust
One of my favorite ranger builds
Light bar and Halo headlights would look killer.
I see the dogs doing rounds guarding the ranger 😃. I love that cup holder arm rest
Looks awesome, i have a 2002 xlt and want to put some big tires like those and some upgrades. I'll make it new again
I have a 2012 focus that I think is worth around the same price as this build I think I’m going to full send it. I live in Chicago and rust is such a big problem
Looks great, I have a 2010 4 door lifted on 33" Wranglers Duratracs, box in need of some work though
Looks great. Maybe a grill guard and/or roll bar
It's worth every penny, especially if you plan on keeping the vehicle for a good while. eBay sells a lot of minor/major mods that can completely change the look of your car/truck. Congrats!
CRUZ_GT thanks. I plan on keeping it unless I come into some money and can buy something newer!
Not bad,.. I just got a white old 2002 ranger. I hope I can upgrade it like you’ve done yours.
I'm doing the same thing, a part here and part there, I've found decent upgraded interior parts for my truck from junk yards. I'm trying to keep things cheap, but wheel, tires and suspension parts add up lol
Jeff Gossett things definitely add up!!!
Awesome truck. Gonna do the same thing to my 04. I have the 4.0 Auto. Different Red. Thanks for the inspiration. Such great lines.
You need the white face gauge cluster like in the Tremor or Explorer
Very good job . All the money and time is worth it on these old Rangers . Mine is still gong strong here in NH . I am still beating the hell out of mine . Still a great little worker .
tgr822 thanks! Check out all the updates in the playlist!
hey man ! bad ass ranger. How much did you lift it and what size are those tires ! Hope you reply have a good day 🤙🏾
Thank you! I try to always reply! Check out the 41 videos in this playlist. The lift, wheels and tires all have videos! Let me know if you have any questions!
@Peter Paulsen same
I watched the vid for ya :) 4 inch lift kit with rear shackles
Beautiful truck. You have some great ideas. I have a 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 5 speed 4x4 it's only a 3.0, but I still love it . I bought it with a lift lot already installed. These trucks are so much fun.
Disgruntled Mule thanks for the comment! I really like it!
Was the 4x4 factory or was it installed after?
Ive got a 2005 ford ranger edge extended cab optioned out, it has the big center console and power mirrors and windows, the only thing it doesnt have is 4x4 and cruise control.

Great! Two new Ranger videos for the next two weeks.
I enjoyed your Ranger vids. I have a 97 that is still going at 247000 miles. Had to rebuild the transmission only.
Thank you for letting me know. Enjoy!
Excellent build! Have enjoyed from the first video! ‘92 STX here
Daniel Garner thank you very much. My first Ranger was a 93.
dude trust me.... that ranger is fenominal!!! if that truck was her in oregon it would be one of the best looking trucks of all, in this state, its so clean yet so functional
Colin Hill thanks!
Wish it was easy finding clean rangers like that these days. Some of those things sound like you got for a good price. Looks like this was a few years ago though before the big inflation
Yeah, it was a while ago.
You cant even get a beater truck for $5200, let alone one that nice. Congratulations, it looks beautiful
I know. Prices have gone stupid! I sold this and replaced it with an 07.
What’s the mileage? If it’s less than 100,000 it’s worth around $8,500-$10,000. If it has between 100,001 - 150,000 it’s worth $5,500 - $7,000. If it has 150,001 + it’s worth $2,500 - $5,000. I would guess by the look and what you put in it around $7,500. Great job
This was a great project! It's beautiful I hope you are still enjoying your ride
Thanks. I sold it and started a new one. Look for that playlist!
I have a 2003 ranger looks just like yours without the lift. going to get a lift with 33s.
John Wilson If you don’t want to spend the money on a lift I put 32s on my 04 ranger a week ago. Looks great, no rub and sits up about 3 inches higher compared to the stock wheels and tires.
Money well spent. Truck looks nice! Good job!
Very nice ranger. I bought a 2011 and getting ready to start on mine.
Thanks and good luck with yours.
dude! awesome ranger!! Super great walk around video. thanks for sharing prices too! very informative.
Novagunner thank you! Check out all the videos in this playlist!

Kathy Mulligan I’m always looking for one at the right price!
Nice truck I've got a 96 ranger xlt I'm just starting to work on.
Hey, you’ve done great. I think you’ve done worthwhile upgrades and gotten a great deal doing them.
Tint your windows
for real for real
I was going to say.. All of that and he can't throw 50 bucks for tints?
The problem is that tint is 100% illegal on the front windows here in California. It’s just asking to get pulled over.
Very nice truck, you should be very proud
These rangers are probably as close to brand new today - they're really in demand
Seems to be the case. Especially rust-free Rangers.
Would really call it an investment lol, but honestly I love it, good work beother, I'm starting the build on my 01 ranger
Ha ha. Working on Thursday’s video right now!
I been waiting for this for so long lol
satnil singh I know! Thanks for waiting!
I would like to see you out cruise control on it. Stock one with controls in steering wheel. Those aftermarket stick ones look like junk.
Holieocorneious Gerhart that’s one thing I never use. I don’t think I’ve ever used it even once on my Mustang.
Bro I lost it 😂🤣🤣 I thought that wolfhound was a cow !! Lol I had to rewind !!
nicest truck I've seen lately.
Love the truck, I have an 04 edge regular cab. BTW them crows are annoying. Shoot at em lol
Beautiful truck , good job
Hey , you should do the bench seat mod to bucket seat then add a center console in it from a ford explorer
Kyle Cheramie I’ve thought about that. Thanks!
@@OhYeahAboutThat your welcome , thanks for the other vids , i updated my ranger because of them!
My Ford ranger XLT looks almost just like that but it's blue lol but you have absolutely invested more into that truck than I have mine for sure
Starling Simmons and even more since that video !
Muy bonita la ford ranger, ¿que medida son las llantas, 31x10.5? ¿y los rines son 15x8?
Awesome job. Worth it
What a beautiful job sir. I love my Ranger. This has really inspired me. Those Tires ahh. Voila.
brother what wheel setup and tire size are you running that is absolutely perfectly stanced i love it!!! i have a white ranger just got my torsion lift kit and rear shackles but i wanted to also ask you what size lift and setup are you running? do you have the torsion keys as well? and if so how do they handle?? have you taken your rig on any dirt trails?? also how does it handle on the highway with the lift?? thanks in advance again awesome build!! god speed, talk soon hopefully,
-pete
These were 33-12.5-15 on 15x8. Truck had 4” lift, no torsion key mods. It was 2wd, so I didn’t off road it. It was acceptable on the road.
Sick truck, really like it. Red is such a good color for it.
Andrew Gillougley thanks! Check out the full playlist. New video tomorrow!
Hey man, what brand rims are those? And at full lock do you rub on 33’s?
Bryan Eppinger rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F311802699655 Mine are all black. They do rub a tiny bit but it’s not an issue.
I got 33,s on mine and don't rub and 35,s on back on new 10x15 corvette rally rims
I have a white 1998 that I’m doing almost likes your except the lift but I’m doin the power windows kit and all led bulbs but I love mine 2.5l with auto and air
Can you tell exactly what model the trun signal is for because I would love to replace mine i hate the fill of having reach down to find it and my knee hits it. Great looking truck by the way worth every penny and more in my opinion.
Yup. It comes from the newer Ranger. My 07 has the revised stalk.
I’m so glad I found this video. Just seeing how cheap these upgrades are I’m all in i was thinking about an f150 but it just seemed ehhhh. Nice truck man..
Thank you! There’s so much you can do with these Rangers.
Yeah man I was thinking of spending 5-6 k for a down payment on a semi new truck. But seeing how nice yours is and th needless possibilities I might invest that money on something like this.
Da GoatMane but at the end of the day it’s still an old truck. Choices, choices!
Dude, this is DOPE 🔥
im jealous. Such a beautiful great truck. Love how you built this. i cant wait till i pick one up for my self! And i love how its such a humble affordable reliable truck.
AreDee thank you very much. I’m now on to my next Ranger project. New video each week.
@@OhYeahAboutThat of course! Pleasure. And oh sweett for sure! ill keep in touch. You got your self a new sub. By the way, what were the specs for these Wheels? tires/rims
AreDee they were Manx 15x8 and 33-12.5-15 tires. The scale was perfect for the truck.
@@OhYeahAboutThat cool, thanks! i appreciate it. yea they sit great with the truck.
Hey bro nice job on the truck I have the same exact truck make model and year and even color that I’m currently restoring what size rims did you go with on your truck.
Richard Eads thank you. All the info is in the description th-cam.com/video/EfHbct2RzZs/w-d-xo.html
Howdy, I love your truck. What grill did u go with ,or is that stock?
Stovall Holmes thank you. It’s the stock grill just painted black.
Not a bad deal all in started with a clean base
It was a great truck!
Beautiful truck. I think you missed the wheels. I really like them and want them for my Ranger. How much were they?
They were on the truck when I got it. I think you can still find them on eBay.
@@OhYeahAboutThat Thanks
Nice Ford Ranger!
Thank you! Lots of videos in this playlist
Please give darken it with a window tint.
You ever thought about 5.0 swapping it? You can swap in the 5.0 OHV engine from the 2001 ford explorers for very cheap and very little work. If this is the 3.0 engine it would definitly be worth it.
That would be nice but too difficult with our emissions laws here. I already have a Mustang GT if I want to go fast. Thanks for the comment!
Also I did not know you could swap turn signals like that. Me knee is always bumping mine because I have the lower version, I may have to change it out, thanks for that.
Exactly! It’s a dumb design.
You have to swap the trans for the 5.0 too. It'd scatter an m5r1. But yeah. The 302 (gt40) from the explorer belonged as an option all along. Im looking to do the 302 in my 98
You should put the fx4 shifter in it that’s chrome
Question, where did you buy the arm rest replacement. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find one.
On eBay. It’s shown in a video on this playlist. It’s a guy out of Florida that makes them. Good quality.

Can you send the link for the lift kit
Take good care of that truck now and it will take good care of you.
White Rabbit yup, agreed.
nice ride man i love these old rangers.
Thanks! My problem is that I like TOO many things!
I seen that you are subscribed to my channel so i had to come check it out beautiful truck i use to have a 2002 extended cab edge that was yellow.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice. I just got a 2004 Ford Ranger 4x4 Automatic. I got a question what the best methods to lift the truck, should I get new shocks or spacer?
Embition you’ll need a kit with blocks or new springs in the rear. Front of yours is different than mine. Look on eBay to see what options you have.
@@OhYeahAboutThat thank you
Do you have a link for the lights
6:25 is the best part
Beautiful truck !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful! Is the paint original factory besides the painting you mentioned?
Jahson Star420 yes, seems to be original. Thanks!
Just curious what your mpg’s are now? with the bigger wheels vs stock.
And is it a 4 or a 6 cylinder Thanks.
It’s not good! It’s the 3.0 v6. I don’t have an exact figure but it’s probably around 11.
Thanks for the fast reply, sweet I’m in the market for one.
@@OhYeahAboutThat I have a yellow and black 3.0 V6. Love it. Been looking for rims like that where'd you get them. And what are they called

And the wheel spacers u used
I love the outcome of the truck .... if you get a chance can u make a vid with more detail on repaint of the fender flares I am having the same issue thanks
Vintage Overland thanks. I sure can. I need to order more paint so I can repaint the other flares.
