One suggestion I have: new wheels? Sorry but those remind me of 2nd gen explorer wheels.
Truck looks like it has lots of potential otherwise.
Trav

 

I want to get some new ones just don't know what I want yet

 

Love my HID/Halo lights, just waiting on getting a black grill to pull it together. I haven't had to use my High beems (brights) since I put these puppies on last year. Makes a 200% difference with visibility.

 

E-fan is always one of my first suggestions, you will feel a power increase right away and it really turns down the engine noise. Can be done for under $100;
This controller ($20)

A fan from a 98-05 chrysler (300, sebring, etc..), dual speed dual fans, perfect fit. ($30-50)
Some relays, wire, and maybe a switch if you want a manual on option.

Of course then you should upgrade to a 130amp 3g alternator (TYC from rockauto $110 shipped), replace the charge wire with 2 or 4ga, add a 150amp fuse/breaker, use wire you replaced to beef up the battery ground>chassis.

I was on the fence about needing 130amps, but I did it and love it. I can have the stereo cranked (pushing 500w amp/sub), AC on full blast, lights on, and nothing even dims while sitting at a stop light.


As for other things to do:
Clean up chassis grounds
Clean up all connectors with quick drying electronic clean
Replace brake fluid entirely (most people forget)
Check rear brake lines
Wheel bearing (inner and outer)
Upper/lower ball joints
Check all of your bushings
Diff fluid
Pads/shoes, drums and rotors.

 

Ok so I found a leak in my front tank today I went and got a tank repair kit to fix it but it got ate threw it wasn't ethanol resistant and didn't sit long enough so I'm going in the morning to get the ethanol proof kind and give it a temp fix till I get a new tank hopefully soon I wire brushed my frame and sprayed it with bed liner Tom my lug key should be in and I can do my front brakes and fix the back ones

 

I'd say no to the green grille and pumpkin. One of my kids did that with one of his rangers and it really didn't look as good as it sounded.

 

This week just sucks I sold my srt4 today ands pulling out of my friends house the neighbors fence was down in the road its a one lane road at that I tried to go around it and the barb wire got my sidewall on my tire how long will a plug stay in if it's plugged good and sealed with seal all
