That'll look tough with the steel front bumper of the 99 and the new bed. Hope you can get those tailights to work. I like those style tailights.

Everything possible with time. All I need is a wiring diagram. I do electronics for a living.

Got my new canopy on.

And installed a dynomax catback . Much quieter than I expected, which is a plus.

The tip is missing because the clamp was hot trash. So ill get it welded on later.

Put on correct length filler hoses. Reattached the filler neck. Wired my tail lights and fix my one broken exhaust clamp.

Method to reach the hoses

Good job, that is cheating using a lift to raise the pick up bed, good idea.

Ain't trying if you ain't cheating.

I love it, your dad is smart :)

I noticed the battery terminal wiring
Those clamp style SUCK, asking for trouble
I would convert them to copper lugs and be trouble free!!

I LOVE the OHV engine bay, nothing says "Dependable" like a Ranger with a pushrod
