New member from SoCal
Hi, My name is Walter Nitto, I am 22 years old and I have a 2005 Ford Ranger EDGE.
This truck was my first vehicle and was purchased new when I was 18 and it has served me well for the last 53 thousand miles.
This is my first time joining or even looking at a Ranger forum, and so far I am very pleased with he environment here. I have been a member of several dirt bike forums as well as Buell motorcycle forums over the past few years and have found them to be very useful tools in making a variety of decisions pertaining to there given sect. I hope that this forum will prove to be no different, and based on the few interactions I have had here it looks as if I have nothing to worry about
.
Ps. You guy are killing me with the DIY section. I have been a member for two days and I have already ordered a double din head unit, I have completed the Third brake light mod for the 04+ trucks, and tomorrow I am going to my friends junk yard to get all of the parts for the rear disk brake conversion. I just finished modding my Buell and thought I could finally start saving some of my money and I stumble upon this forum and just like that the money is gone

I just got back form the yard and got everything needed to do the rear disk brake mod + a third brake lens with cargo lights for $108. I know the owner, so that explains the price. I also just purchased a Powertrax Automatic Lock Right locker for the truck. I figured since I was going to have to open the diff because of the brake mod I might as well add a locker while I am in there.
I have been a member for three days and this sight has already triggered a $600 + shopping spree.

That is a really slick head unit! It looks stock!
Oh yeah, if you value your money, LEAVE THIS SITE NOW!!
I've invested over 3k into my truck because of this site.
How do you like your KTM? I'm a Yamaha guy, but I have been lookin at those KTM's and damn do they look sweeet
