Hey guys! '05 3.0, 4x2
She started feeling a little stale on me and I started looking at newer trucks, something basic like what I have now. When I found a suitable truck they ran the numbers for me and told me what they'd pay $1,000 for my Ranger. I was surprised, pissy, and a wee bit sad. Told him I'd sleep on the offer. During the drive home, she stopped being stale and I had a whole new level of love for her. That night I hit the web and started looking into souping her up a bit and saw some badass looking Rangers, and boy I've got some plans for her now. Kid you not, I've had Rick Astley stuck in my head for 48 hours.
Mechanically she is good. The plan there is to read up on what yinz have done and tweak as I go. My paint is that odd "blue" color that is kinda purple. I'm already getting estimates for a more dynamic blue. Stock rims and recently new rubber. I like the "somewhat lifted" look so those wheels will be replaced and I'm thinking black and a size or two larger. Gotta read up on that too. She's used primarily to get me to my big truck and home, so offroading isn't that big of a deal for me especially with her being a 4x2, but the looks of some of the more modest lifts is my goal.
So that's my intro and my truck. Hope to gain and give some knowledge on here. I'm a hockey guy and a truck driver too.
Be safe.
