It's hard to give ideas to a truck that isn't mine or to a guy that I don't know what he is into, but if it were my truck I would ditch the B2000 side badges, you will have 4 holes there but it will look cleaner. You an weld those up, grind em, add a little filler, sand it smooth, and repaint. Get a roll pan or if money is the issue cut some patches to fit the rear holes and weld them in and repeat the process I listed above to give it a smooth look. Some guys like the original head lights but I don't. So I would ditch those and do the 01 Ranger head light conversion. You can buy a brand new clear set for 40 bucks on eBay, cut your grill to fit them, wire them up and boom...face lift. Maybe get some clear corners too. If you want to go lower add some 3 inch blocks to the rear. Their about 30-35 bucks for a kit at AutoZone. And level it out with your torsions up front. Remove the bump stops so you're not bouncing everywhere You might want to replace your shocks too using shorter shocks. Get a 4runner front bumper. A lot of guys use them, some like the stock Mazda one but I think the contour of the 95 4runner bumper fits so well with the Ranger lights and matches up well with the fenders. You will have to modify the mounts but it's easy. Use the front half of the Yota mounts and the back half of the Mazda mounts and weld them together. You might get lucky and be able to pick it up at a junk yard, same with the ranger lights too. Just a few ideas but of course that's just my thoughts and what I like.

That is the tail lights and foglights set up and the tails are wired so the reverse light and the turning signals blink at the same time hence the fog lights which are now the reverse lights. And the Tonneau cover came out great it sits really well and looks really good

Here is the interior and what I've done to it so far. Sorry about some bad picture quality in some of the pics.

My father and I have built a custom console in which I am very happy with the way it came out to be

I went to the junk yard and grabbed some late 80's to early 90's Mazda 626 seats and put them in because the seats that were in there had lost all the support in them. They looked better in there than I thought they would.

The whole rear interior was painted and reinstalled, I took out the seats because I felt like they were kinda pointless before long
