I Blame RF!

Hi. My name is Mike and I am addicted to Ranger-Forums.com and Modding!

I just wanted to say, I blame you people of RF! It's all your fault that I have put a bunch of toys on my truck in the past year! I joined one year ago today and I love it here! When I joined I had a question about an airfilter and I ended up staying and spending a nice chunk of money on stuff for my truck, in all about $2500ish.

Here is a picture of my truck when I joined(all I had done at the time is exhaust, wheels & clear corner lights):


After being here i got tons of ideas and have added the following: BF Goodrich All-Terrain’s, Silverstar Head & Fog Lights, Red License Plate Lights, 150w KC Driving Lights, WAAG Bar, Custom Steel Rear Bumper, & a Delta low-profile Toolbox, Trailer hitch, Explorer Center Console, Pioneer DEH-P5800MP HU, Clinometer, Midland CB & PA, I have some hood decals and some custom EDGE decals. I also have some body damage due to hitting a tree while off-roading(I blame winks and buzzair, I saw pics. from when they went out mudding and I felt like I needed to go too).
Here are pics. of it now:






I Blame You all! I also thank you very much for being a great group of guys & girls that know what you are talking about, most of the time, and being so helpful! THANKS YA'LL!!!

I had my Ranger for almost 2 years before I found the site. I bought it as a virgin to mods and now it's been modded quite a bit.

It's definately better to enjoy the mods and not think how much we've spent on them.
