I was talking to a new Ranger owner earlier and he didn't know a lot of the abbreviations like OHC and what a Mustang Dome light was and stuff and I thought that it would be beneficial to have like a Beginners Thread of Interest of something that just lists easy beginner mods. Some of my ideas were:

98-00 Blinker Mod

01+ Blinker Mod (i couldnt find one on R/F)

Fog light Mod

Interior Painting Tutorial

Mustang Domelight Install

Overhead Console Install Part 1 and Part 2

Maximum Tire Size Chart

Crank the Torsion Bars

Muffler Discussion

Speed Governer

Tuner Discussion

Bumper Mod

Throttle Cable Mod

Replacing Speakers Front and Back


Any other ideas are welcome!

Also some of these how-tos arent here on R/F so if someone wants to rewrite them and put them up here go ahead.

 

Be a good idea to add...tire size, how to crank t-bars,best oil to use,all the other questions you see on a weekly basis from noobs.

 

Great Idea

 

ah good ideas Kevin, i'll get on it.

 

Gauge painting/LEDs

 

Why won't my truck go over 89 mph?
What kind of muffler sounds best?
What kind of tuner should I get?

 

-governed
-flowmaster in most cases
-sct handheld

 

Yes, I know, these were suggestions to add to the list so that maybe they will not be asked 24 bazillion more times.

 

HMMMMM.....
Couldn't get the link for interior painting to work.

 

Fixed, I figured a link would be good in a sticky haha.

i think those should be about it as far as common searches... dont want this to just tunr into the how to section

 

Yep i was thinking the same thing, i think thats a good collection of easy beginner mods to get people started.

 

Great idea, I wish this was around when I started! I would add a speaker replacement how-to.

 

^ might not be a bad one either....

also add in bold caps at the bottom that having your tailgate down doesnt help millage... not sure how many people know that but seems like i always see people with them down

 

ok will do

 

i think Zach's KC light threads need to be included

I saw in an earlier post that you had painted your overhead console black, I was wondering what kind of paint you used. It looked like it matched the original pieces well. Thanks
