Throwback 93 B2200 LE5

Stover, MO 65078. I'd sell it cheap to get it out of the way.

I tinkered with the truck a little bit today.

I hate when a nice vehicle has crappy rusted, faded or pealing wiper arms. It's a big pet peeve of mine. I pull the wiper arms off and painted them with some slightly textured satin black I had.

I also spent a little bit of time on cleaning up the engine bay. I removed all of the brackets and vacuum stuff.

Then I decided to trim back some of the harness and remove the washer tank.

Next I need to figure out what to do with the EGR lines.

Clean looking truck, love the simple old school look.

Nice, great find.

I was curious this morning and took some measurements. My front cross member is 2.25" from the ground and my frame rails at the first body mount are 3.5" from the ground.

Did I mention that I love my B2200? I think I've put more miles on it in the last 2 months than I did on my last project in the whole last year I owned it.

It's been a while since I've been on here so here's an update...

I installed a classic California OG Minitruck roof rack with some ski attachments. I traded a buddy some stereo stuff for the Yakima ski attachments and picked up a cheapo roof rack from Wal-Mart. Here is a pic that Layinbody.net snapped of it at Midwest Dragfest.



I have also put in a Wink 5 panel mirror that I splatter painted the back side and picked up some hard to find Little Tree air fresheners with different faces on them.



At Midwest Dragfest I picked up an old school "Minitruckin" sticker that I put on the back glass with my car club sticker.



I cleaned up the engine bay a little more as well. I relocated the fuel filter, removed the EGR lines, removed the heat shield and redid the valve cover.

Nice projects, I like the spatter paint.

Dumb question, I see you had a splash grill on your Ranger. Did you ever take the grill emblem off? I can't seem to find any information if the emblems are different for the Splash Grill vs the XLT/XL ones.

Lookin good

Ya the Splash grille just went on it when we did the last respray and didn't come with a badge on it. I actually used a badge that came off the tailgate I picked up for it before the respray because the one that was on it had a dent. I shaved the badge off the tailgate. The holes didn't line up with the holes on the grille for it to clip into so I used some snips to cut the nubs off the badge to make it flat and used 3M double stick tape to hold it on. It looked normal and never showed signs of even wanting to come loose.
