Ok, so my friend has a 99 Ranger, exact same as mine minus the color and that his is a 4 door. His is body lifted on 33's, something I'm planning on doing. But he's selling his Ranger because his tranny lost reverse. So I had the crazy thought of buying it, fixing the transmission, swapping all my stuff over to it and vice versa, then selling my current one. Good idea or no?

 

why the hell not

 

Ok, if I have Stone's approval all I gotta do is run it by the big man and I'm golden...

 

Do it...Pics of the friends truck??

 

No, I don't have pictures of his. But I know almost all of his stuff has been replaced recently.

 

or keep it as a beater?

 

^^Insurance for a 17 year old is pricey. Only reason I wouldn't

 

true enough.

 

sounds like a good idea to me, i wish mine was a 4 door

 

i know your pain

 

^^Mine's due in 11 days, lol. $150 a month

 

full coverage?

 

yea mines like 250 a month after my last accident caught up to me

 

No, not full coverage, jsut above minimum I think...
And YIKES! $250 a month?

 

Man do I not miss those days. Though my insurance was for a 96 mustang gt. Now that I am 25 I am paying about 60-70.

 

220 a month but i have full coverage im going to switch to new insurance at the end of the month they got it down to 120ish which makes me very happy!

 

hmmmmm. just fix your truck up... body lift installed is only 500-600 bucks or so, then 1000 wheels and tires... so 1500 bucks and your mechanically sound truck is in the same height and tires and only 1500 bucks.

 

Wow i am lucky! Im 20 and i pay 76 per month with 4x4 in Cal without a co-signer parent... minimum coverage. I was thinking about upgrading it to full and then finding a tree to hit haha!


And yea if you can swing it why not that would be a fun project

 

Full coverage under parents 96 every 6 months on my old truck lol full coverage

 

Why pay someone to install a BL? That defeats the purpose of doing a BL. BL is the cheap lift. If he is going to pay someone to do it may as well do spindles/shackles instead(pretty sure he is 2wd). I dont think the fact his buddies is lifted with tires is the only reason for him getting it. His buddies truck has 4doors and I am guesing his has 2doors. That alone would be worth it. I wish mine had 4 doors.

 

How does it feel being raped in the ***?

I pay $450 every 6mo. At 16 I was paying $500 every 6mo. Another year with out a claim and I could total the truck and State Farm wouldn't have lost a penny since my truck is only worth ~4800.

 

When I was 16 my insurance was 200 a month then I had an accident and it went to 300 a month, Now I've moved and am on my own policy and it's about $100 a month.

As for the truck, do it.

 

Ha! your lucky.. Mine is 387/Month lmao.. and i'm 19

 

Mines about there, im 17 and its 550 every 6 months, thats like 90$ a month...

 

dude, buy the truck!

and just to add I pay $270/month! for minimum coverage!
