This truck is has been to the Naches Jamboree several times and countless other trails and trips. It was looking so bad I was thinking of parting it out. Both front fenders were destroyed and what was left was very rough. I got bored and replaced the bad sheet metal than had it painted. I couldn't find a winch bumper for it so I made one. I than had a bed liner sprayed in and had the seat reupholstered. For the last few weeks I've been working on the little things and I think I may be finished. This truck has a ton of money in it, explorer axle, Detroit locker, 4:88's, 6" lift, etc. Anyway here it is.

Money well spent or a complete wast of time and resources?

The truck looks real nice. What motor does it have. As you know, a lot of the trails in the East Cascades are really hard on trucks. Enjoy the clean look :D

I use to teach collision repair at the Yakima Valley Skills Center. I had the new instructor and students do it for me. I don't mind doing the heavy body repair but I'm not set up to paint.

Very nice. 8) Looks great.

Got any before pictures. I've been at the Trail Jamboree the last couple years. I may recognize it in it's previous state.

I certainly don't remember a Ranger that nice up there. :D

What kind of cost was involved to have it painted? I'd like to do my JK to match my Harley...

$1,200 total. That included all paint and materials.
