Tbar crank, Shackles 265/75/16's and a K&N drop in

6 months later i removed and sold the 265's, de-cranked the tbars, and put the shackles on the lowest setting. What a waste of money.

The first thing I did to my ranger when I got it was put on a 4" lift just days after doing a title swap

changed out the multi-function switch and fixing the headliner. First thing I did to my Escape was tint the rest of the windows and vent-visors.

mine was remember how to drive a manual so i could drive it off the lot!!.. then took the canopy off, drove it in 2008, replaced starter.


then last winter borrowed a friend's 31" A/T's off his scrapped explorer. i want the rims but since i dont have any rims to throw on the expo to get it on a trailer that idea is fudged. then it was slide onto some dude's lawn this past winter, put a nice dent in the side, got that just about out now..

then i gave tires back, and thats it so far. put a 10 dollar exhuast tip on it.. thinking about cutting off the muffler and straight piping with the Cat's still on it.. not sure yet...

AVS smoked headlight covers, I hated those amber corners. Then quickly followed with Ventshade window vents and window tint.

Then it was all down hill from there............Mods, mods , and more mods......LOL

My CarDomain page has a chronological list of my mods with pics......

Tinted my windows just 2 days ago. $129.00 for sides and rear, and another $75.00 for another window not legal to tint.
