How much do you guys have invested in your rangers? Theory is single cabs don't have as much invested on average...

This is just mods, not price of vehicle.

 

I had a couple thousand in mine before I got rid of it. Some guys have easy 10k in theres.

 

So much that Ive realized I'm stupid for not selling it years and years ago and getting a 4x4 ranger or a fullsize with all the money Ive blown on this thing.

ok I can crush that theory to pieces lol

 

I had an s10 I had nothing in. All my x cabs broke me.

 

96 reg cab short bed 2wd 5 speed 2.3L

$50 cluster
$50 BII sway bar
$200 exhaust (piping, muffler, tip and installation)
$270 Shifter and badges
$90 tails
$300 wheels (x-mas present from g-parents doesn't really count)
$25 06+ badges
$50 LEDS
$30 billet HVAC *****
$25 FORD floor mats
$60 intake (still using stock filter housing--just new piping)

total $1150 for mods ($2500 for the truck)

pretty much it....Stereo, speakers and tonneau cover came with the truck.....
some stuff i got through trading and selling so the cost equaled itself out but i still counted it anyway...

 

Too much.

 

I had about 5K in my regular cab.

 

About 1.2k so far and that's just the start of it. In about 6 years when I get a place when I can really do some work to it and I get some funding in, the number is really going to increase drastically. But by then the truck will no longer be a daily driver and will be a trailer rig.

 

Prolly around 5000$ but My jeep cost me about the same and was pretty gay...

pimpn ranger


and jeep was a ton of money then i sold it for only 800$ cause it was a project jeep and i had to move very soon. I hope the guy had good luck with it.

 

thats why i dumped the B2300 off at the ford dealer i could mod that little truck all i wanted but it would never be what i wanted it to be a millions times happier with new truck even in stock form

 

Too Much !
$1600 Lift Kit
$700 (?) Coil-Overs
$1000 Radio
$500 so far Gauge and Heater Panels (Faces and LED stuff)
$850 Tires
$500 Wheels
$500 LVLi II Rear Axle/Dual Shifters
$1500 upgrades to Lvl II Stuff
$100 Back Rack, rebuilt from Web Buy to fit Steppie
$200 Tool Box
= $7500 roughly speaking...
$ ? LED Tail Lights w/ mod’d Turn signals (in place of backup lights)
$ ? Black Headlights
and the list goes on, so who ever told you a std cab has less areas to invest in isn’t building one.

Things to do $$$ !
Speaker/Sub/Amp = $1000
Front Bumper = $600 w/o mods
Rear Bumper = $$$ your guess - (No one makes this so full fab on it)
Winch = $1200
KC Lighting up front - Four Lights with wiring = $350
Backup Lights - Aux = $150
CB = have but maybe around $250 - special unit
HAM Gear = $$$ who knows
Antennas on the Back Rack = $$$ ?
Lighting on the Back Rack = A set of KC Backup Lights for Cargo etc, = $150
LED Lighting in the Tool Box = $$$ ?
Aux Power Ports either in the Tool Box or near Tail Gate or both = $$$ ?
STX Grille - if and when they make one to fit an 03 or I figure out a way to do make an OEM one fit.
Never ending list… $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - your call.

When you get a vehicle that you like and plan on keeping there is NO limit to what can be done to it and what you want to do.
Sites like this one have generated more automotive parts sale than is realized; maybe this site should get a kick back on the sales.

Good Luck on getting the short list together for the STD CAB… LoL.

 

Too much that I don't want to try and add it all up

 

My mile high stack of receipts tell a story that I don't want to here. And that's just from this year. I didn't keep track last year. But as far as I can tell I have $300 to my name and I have made $6000 working part-time this past 2 years so with no bills except gas and insurance...........Over $5000 in it I guess :/

 

At least $3,050 but I know I forgot some stuff in the tally in my head


I kinda lucked out. a couple things were done for me before I got the truck like Tint

 

don't haveanything invested yet. the only thing i did to it was to put a bench seat mounted cupholder and a flag pole mount. both mods were cheep.

the cupholder's price was returned to me and i paid 30 cents a screw x2. the pole mount cost me lunch for a member +2.
opps, forgot the tonneau cover i bought off a member for $75.
i also removed my running boards.

total cost $100ish

 

I have about 3k invested, within the next year I'm hoping another 3k.. Wantto get my truck to show status.

 

i have around 800 in mine

 

$200 on used exhaust
$100 on used toolbox
$125 on diamond plate bedcaps
$25 seatcovers
$50 at least in different airfresheners over the last 3.5 years.

 

Wirelessly posted

Maybe the difference in investment money shoulda been married/single. I know if I was single a lot more would be done to it.

 

$260 on toolbox
$125 on tine
$120 on speakers
$35 on rubber floormats
$520 on wheels
$633 on tires
$65 on tow hooks
$150 in replacement parts
$600 on first set of tires

Grand Total Spent ton truck in two years:

$2500

you got that right. I think its the same across the board. They dont like for you to spend money on the truck

 

Mine does...as long as she likes what I'm wasting money on...she bought the bedcaps for me

 

forgot line-x but that was a gift and $550.

 

forgot my rhino lining that was 520 bringing the grand total to $1320
