not planning anything out,, currently regret my plastic bed rail caps that are cracking, shouldve gotten a spray on.. and maybe the last 2 sets of rims aswell,, and the last set of tires,, though I like my current setup just took too much money to get to..

 

This thread is depressing

 

I dont regret anything on my truck yet. I love it just the way it is.

 

I love the way my truck is now, and have tons of plans for it in the future, thousands and thousands of dollars of plans... but i regret doing superlift and 33's then adding a body lift and upgrading to 35's a month later, i wish i would have just done it all at once, it would have saved me about 500$ ( but atleast ricky got a good deal on 33's out of it) and i regret cutting my valance around the tow loops, i should have waited till i got some level 2 hooks and a front hitch, but thats a work in progress so we will see how it turns out, worst comes to worse i will just buy a new valance.

 

Lol I get ppl trying to race me as well...course I don't ever do it cause my truck is not exactly what you'd call fast lol

I feel the same about my hood though. I love it but sometimes I wish i didn't do it. My hood probably gets more comments than any other mod I've done, but I dunno sometimes I just wanna see the truck all one color again. But at the same time I know if I was to have it done all red again I'd miss having the silver on it.

 

messin with the shifter.. i hate every mod i have done to it

i missed a joint that had to be welded.. it was covered up by a pipe
and yes, those are vice-grips attached to an old welder shield-tip thingy

 

I regret trading in the 02 Ranger.

 

Soft Tonneau cover. Hands down. The metal frame take away the ability to use my bed. Took it off today and put the stock bedrails back on

 

i regret painting my interior blue last year. I just killed this weekend sanding it all down and re priming, and painting it all back black.

 

I regret not buying an 03, and I think I probably paid more for my truck then I should have.

I HATE these chrome bumpers they are terrible and I want to do black head lights and a black billet grill. I dunno what to do about the bumpers either!




EWWW!!!!

 

seems everyone is hating their painted interior...

note to new people: don't paint the interior haha

 

lol...this thread makes me appreciate my stock truck just like it is

 

i tried painting my bezel and ended up buying one off another member cuz it looked so crappy.

my old brush guard scraped off my paint on the pass side a lil bit

umm i cant think of anything else yet

 

im the opposite, i love my painted interior. i love every mod ive done, but the people talking about the signal mirror i know exactly what you mean. i broke the mirror first try, but told ford it just broke and they replaced it. and now my right mirror doesnt want to move, but i still love 'em

 

i never painted the interior cause i thought it was ghey the first time people did it about when i started driving. And also glad i never did the tailights. but i did way back the first years of my truck did stupid hickricer things to it like neons and extra running lights, and the flam'n blue ford paint i decided to paint my brakes and t-bars with, cause it keeps coming back after i paint it black..

other than that nothing really cause its been alot of cheap mods that have made it a perty fun truck to have.. but the t-bar max cranking was a bad idea, but seemed badass at the time. now it rides like ****.

but now i only do well thought out things and nothing close to the stuff i used to think of doing 5-6 years ago.. it really does change after you get older.

 

Me being middle aged and having gone down this type of road before.. I can say that now-a-days I make pretty careful decisions when it comes to buying / modifying stuff.

I can without a doubt say that in the 7 months I've had this ranger I am pleased with everything. The truck bought through a year end clearance on top of a discount, the e-fan I had laying around, the underdrive pulley, the speakers, & the K&N intake.

I look fwd to a bama tune *pretty soon* and a dual outlet exhaust within a year. When these tires are wore out I wanna try a nice set of 15" wheels and maybe lift it an inch or so.

IMO what has always been my biggest regrets is modifying a vehicle only to sell it within a couple years. It's a HUGE loss in money usually.

So far I have 10k miles on the FX4 and there are two areas I'm a little concerned with. 1) Rust.. I'm a bit supprised at how much rust it's getting on the undercarriage. 2) Rattles in the pass door since I put the speakers in. (I just need to take the panel off and fix it.. no biggie there)

The mod I regret most was on my old 95 when I rearranged the front end and the drivers side doors of a Pontiac Grand Prix. I T-Boned a guy because he ran a stop sign. I made out good on the insurance and all, but that led me into several inferior vehicles until a year ago.

The "mod" I regret on my 96 is the cap. Not really a mod, but it seems to get in the way more than it helps me. I have to remove it today to pick a 50" wide patio set.

 

Why you don't like the F150? I mean, I love my ranger, but an F150 would be good too.....

 

Shouldn't have sold it, Should have paid it off instead. After I bought the house It turned out to save me nothing and I practically gave the truck away.

But in the Grand scheme of things, I have a way cooler car now, that has twice the mod potential. Not to mention I haven't had to explain why I thought it was cool in weeks, unlike the ranger.

Well if that wasn't a big kick in the nutz....lol.

 

Hey! LOL I thought the ranger was cool, But most people didn't see it. I didn't care, but I got sick of explaining the coolness to them. I also got sick of explaining what a level II was. I was about a week away from taking the stickers off.

~HJ

 

Noooo, then it is no long special....

 

my stereo! could have saved a hell of a lot of money! and being an 07.. it didnt even need a stereo! im probally going to go back to stock speakers/cd player and put my amp on them so it gives it a lil better sound

 

^^^^ You can put an amp on a stock stereo?

 

Mods I regret are the accident while wheeling this winter mod, and buying piaa lights instead of kc's the first time. Other than that I'm happy with the other mods I've done.
