I always take night pics, but here are some day pics.





I'm always looking for new mods, but not tacky ones. Any opinions?

I am NOT ditching the Mud-Flaps! They protect the paint and I love them (so dont ask! lol)

 

Ya know.. I'm not sure how you'd like the idea..

But given you like a good fast car, and yoru truck looks nice and shiny.. maybe a set of black rims would set it off? or have those current ones powdercoated black?

A good glossy black would set it off awful nice, along with some black window rain keeper-outer things... those door molded ones that mount with the 3m tape and such..



Somethign to give your truck some more character and help set it off without looking tacky =)

 

I don't like the window rain things, but I have been thinking about getting different wheels. Especially wider ones. I was going to see if my BBS rims on my car would fit on the truck (they are 9 inch stock) - The idea was to get different wheels for the car, but still keep the BBS's. The problem is I dont want the truck to look too hot when its parked, because of where I live. Granted its in a garage when I'm home, but I don't want wheels that will attract attention when I'm out (this is the reason the car never leaves my sight)

I was thinking about taking off the chome wheelcap covers and sandblasting them, then painting them to match the aluminum of the rims - I hate chrome. I wish they made a carbon fiber ranger logo so I could replace the stock chromey looking ones.

I plan on taking off my door handles and liftgate handles and painting them body-color blue. Also I think I'm going to ditch the stock mirrors and go with the eBay M3 with LED type ones. - I'd paint them to match as well.

See the nice thing about the mods I have (mostly lighting on the exterior) is that you cant tell its modded when its parked. - Yeah I have different headlights, corners and tails but thats no biggy, they dont look tacky I don't think.

Maybe I'll get a new fascia in the front. That is a 2003 front end that I got for free when i got a crack in my 2004 front bumper.

 

lose the mud flaps. otherwise, the truck looks great as is!

 

Mudflaps prevent stone chipping great! - no way I'll lose those.

 

Ditch the mud flaps and get ya some nice yet simple 17 inch wheels.

 

Looks good.

 

i'd screw the mud flaps. other than that '08 emblems and '08 mirrors

 

I <3 my mud flaps. They protect my paint - does anyone have the light up ford emblem for the front?

 

Ditch the mud flaps :P

 

I am assuming its a 4x2

Drop it
Throw mud flaps as far away as you can
get some 17" Mach1 rims

 

truck looks awesome and the paint is b-e-a-u-tiful but ya throw some new rims on there maybe som graphite colored ones and maybe a paintmatched 08 grill and def. paint matchthose m3 mirrors and handles and it would look sweeeet!!!

 

Mach1? I hate mustangs with every cell of my body. Maybe lightning wheels, but I don't think the pattern matches.

 

no that pattern doesnt fit but you could run adapters and it would look nice

 

With the stock engine I don't have the torque to take advantage of the wider wheels that the lightning has. Possibly if I ever do a dual turbo setup. Since the v6 has 2 piston banks that would work pretty good. Is there such a kit? It would be nice to be completely positive manifold pressure in my garage. I would like to do an EJ25 swap, but this would take alot of work and I'm not sure if I can get it to pass smog.

 

nice truck... i would get some 06+ taillights

 

some new emblems...

your truck looks good man

 

For christmas I just bought these aftermarket (93-97) tail lights and special wired them to work.

 

What options do we have for emblems? I dont like the new emblems sold on the current ranger. If there was an aftermarket carbon fiber one I would consider it. Something like what I have on my evo would be nice. I found these on eBay.





I have looked for similar emblems for the truck, with no success. - I was thinking about the LED lightup emblem for the front though, but I dont know where to buy one. nthcoast.com used to carry them (I had boughten one for my 13b-powered focus in 2002)

 

ewh carbon fiber ford emblem........haha The Bigger the Ford Emblem the better and faster your truck runs..you could say a easy 50 hp mod!

 

I dont mod the truck for performance (yet) - more luxury look/feel, unique styling. I already have a vehicle to mod for performance.

 

what color is that?

 

Sonic Blue (The sun was low and it made everything look a little bit yellowish)

 

line of fire,wheels,lose the mud flaps

 

I'll pass on the line of fire. To many trucks have it.
I will have a full LED conversion very soon on the exterior bulbs.

As I've said 30 times, the mudflaps protect the paint, and I love them.
