that truck is full of fail. those flares would work if the tires were wider and not street tires, those tails, those stupid looking rims and some steps that match the truck would help.

rstangboi May 27, 2010 12:41 AM

idk whats worse...those or the tails.....eitherway id gag if those ever got near any of my trucks.

Fx4wannabe01 May 27, 2010 03:23 AM

hahahaha! Believe it or not, I already saved the pics of an old ad for that truck! I added it to my "craigslist truck oddity" folder. aka WTF? Ranger folder. lol.


I'm tempted to call 'em up and see if they wanna trade beds!


Believe it or not, I see quite a few steppies with flares. Even a couple in town.

rstangboi May 27, 2010 03:29 AM

shane would you really?

Fx4wannabe01 May 27, 2010 03:29 AM

i cant figure out what ur bro is up to with his truck anymore......if thats who ur talkin about....

Fx4wannabe01 May 27, 2010 03:38 AM

haha....yeah. I've been sorta toying with the idea of talking to used dealerships with black steppies for a little bed/bumper trade. If anything, it's an advantage on their side because his bed is line-x'd and not tiny as sh1t! lol.

I never know if he's gonna toss the steppie on it or what! lol. He's pulling a John Kerry!

rstangboi May 27, 2010 03:43 AM

i almost feel like dealers are too jew to even think about trading beds though......idk...maybe thats just me?

Fx4wannabe01 May 27, 2010 03:58 AM

What's the worse that can happen.....they say no. Never know unless ya ask!

cchsbuzz19 May 27, 2010 06:18 AM

Wow thats fugly.

I tried the other day asking if I could trade my bumper and valence for a bumper and valence with foglights(the truck didn't even have the button or wiring for them) at a used car dealership, I thought he would say yes for sure, but he says it gives the buyer the option to get them and it looks nicer...GAY

I just vomited on the floor

dixie_boysles May 27, 2010 07:00 AM

it wouldnt looks so bad with the following changes:

1) Remove flares
2) Remove tails and add 06+ tails
put some beefy KM2s on those wheels
3)add back factory honeycomb grille

coleary15 May 27, 2010 08:48 AM

we have a 95 ex.cab 4x4 at work and i asked my boss to trade beds and the cab...he said if it goes to auction then yeah haha

Adj2000 May 27, 2010 08:58 AM

I don't get the flares or the rims our trucks don't drive that great in the snow so if you have a 4x4 have some beefy rims
