The story

When I was about 12 years old, I used to pass this truck everyday on the way to school. It was just sitting in a guy's yard, slowly rusting away. When I was 15, I noticed that the truck had moved into the front yard, and was now for sale. I wasn't too interested in it, but I stopped to look anyway. I ended up buying it for $400 which I had saved up from mowing lawns. At first, I hated the truck. It was crap brown, banana cream, 2 wheel drive, 6 cylinder, no options at all.

After about five years of modifications, I now have a 4x4, V8 powered, loaded Ranger Lariat F150, which has now become my dream truck. I fell in love with the Metallic Brown/Light Sand color combo, so that's the only part of this truck that hasn't changed.

I'd list all the modifications, but the list is just way too long. — RangerLariat
