Favorite accessories/add ons!
What are your top 3 favorite accessories or add-ons to your ford ranger.
I havent done much but added a center console, tow hitch receiver, and new instrument panel bulbs.

I see I misread the original post and I only listed my single favorite mod. I also have OHC, auto dim mirror and autolamps... along with a full-length explorer console and other goodies. Hard to choose between them. But I think I'm with you, Vista 4.0; OHC, auto dim rear view and autolamps.

I'll cheat here and list four, lol; no particular order.
1. Auxiliary reverse lights / upgraded stock bulbs.
These are an absolute must, in my eyes. A good set of bright LED reverse lights with some bright aux lights under the bumper shooting out add so much more to your reversing abilities. Trails, parking lots, etc. Easy to do, too. Tons of info about 'em, so it's impossible to get wrong.
2. Dual, dual note horns.
When I initially bought my Ranger, it had a wimpy single note horn. Lame! First upgrade was to install set of duallies from an F150. Later on, I installed another set from another F150, so four horns in total. Not necessarily tuned to perfection, but it certainly gets someone's attention when they pull out in front of you.
3. Keyless radio.
If you enjoy listening to your radio when you're in the garage, or doing whatever wherever, this mod is a must. Radios generally use two wires. One wire goes for power, while the other wire is simply a signal wire. When 12+ is applied to the signal wire, the radio powers on. With just a single relay and a regular old switch, you can easily allow yourself the ability to turn the radio on without the key! If hooked to the battery saver too, it turns off automatically, as well.
4. LEDs!
Instrument cluster, turn signals, brake lights, cargo lights, etc. LEDs from bumper to bumper (except headlights or fog lights, they suck) really transforms the look of any vehicle. Easier on the electrical system, too!
