[glow=red,2,300]finally got a short day to do something to this thing....[/glow] Got all the carpet and most the interior striped out, found a fair amount of rust under the newer carpet..... will have to get some sheet metal and patch it up then use some of that bed liner coating to cover it all..... and most important! Got that Suzuki logo off the windsheld and got the right one in place....

Looks like a great start! what engine does it have in it? the 4 banger or 2.8 v6? go to www.broncoii.org to get any RBV (ranger based vehicle) specific info that you will need -Rangerwheelin

looking better everytime I see it. here is an illustration of how most people cut the fenders on rangers (minor cutting anyway) you shouldnt have to cut the back fenders. you can also do a 2" budget lift by stacking about an inch worth of washers (actually 1.5-2 in of lift) under your front coils and adding a set of shackles to the back ( ford4x4accessories.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=86 ) or a 2 or 3 in body lift- usually available for around $100
