All the rest of the blue XLT interior was from the #4 parts truck, and doors and front driver fender from grey #3 truck.
I cut wrecked front passenger inner body out at door to center behind grill and replaced it with same piece from '86 Ranger.
Hood pins My hood latch release cable was cut when it was wrecked before I bought it. When I fixed the front end I set the hood latch to just latch loosely and not fully. Now that its tagged and I get up to speed the hood was wiggling and freaked me out a little, so I bought hood pins.
Fender flares The mud was being thrown all over the windshield and in the bed, this is to be expected but it was while just rolling down the trail. I just used some vinyl I found at the local hardware store and rivited them on and shaped them the best I could. I really like the front ones and the rear will do for now. It totally fixed the problem I'm happy to say.

Maintenance
Hardware checkup I went through all the bolts I added when mounting the radius arms, coils, shocks, track bar, ect. 27 total. Also tightened U-bolts on rear axle. The U-bolts were tight but I found 2 bolts at the track bar had loosened. All the rest were tight still. Nice piece of mind though.
