Single exhaust is ok. You don't "HAVE" to run duals if you don't want. Gatorblue has a nice exhaust sound. his i believe is a 3.0 as well

Meh yeah, getting a new job soon make atleast 300 a week at a salon in Boca so I'll save up most of it and put the lift, should be easy and not a whole lot pointless because the edge has the 4x4 suspension so whatev...Maybe some mickey thompson tires...I don't want like oversized tires that look skinny though...

And yeah NO spray, I'm kinda afraid that the person that owned it before used spray because there's a pillar guage setup, you know what I almost thought Nate! That it could've been that fat kid that followed you every where at the meets with the yellow ranger! Cause wasn't his name Jason?

Uhg yeah if you got his old ranger that thing aint got much left in her, check the bumper see if was torn off, and the right rear panel for scratches/repaint.

Yes it was Jason.


Yeah, actually i think you ahve T-bars, you can crank those up (which alot of these RF guys have done) and throw 31 AT's under there with no rubbing. But im not sure, I've lost faith in my ranger.

A friggin spider laid eggs in the air ducts, as im driving down 95 to PSL with andrew and Mike I all the sudden and covered locked up the tired in the grass got stuck and stripped to my boxers running down the highway screaming because Im utterly terrified of spiders, none the less fken 100 of the lil bastards crawling up my arm trying to kill me.

Dammit, I know there's a lot of touch up painting all around the truck , the bumper looks a little scratched and decolored...But it doesn't look as bad as you say his was. HOWEVER! When we bought the truck, I looked in under the driver side visor and found a sticker from a hospital that had the visitors name "Jason" on it and that's when my face turned white and Darrell looked at me like...oh god....what...lol!!! I was like uh...nothing! :)...

LMFAO, you are such a baby...I'm sure everyone on the highway wanted to slit their wrists after that lololol!! jk jk.

I'm w' nate...forget performance mods...lift it the cheapest way you can, add bigger tires, potentially get a dual exhaust/intake, and just keep it clean

I feel like 3.0's are fine for work, and a compromise between the 4.0 and the 2.5, but overall I've been disappointed w' mine
