Hey wassup, my name is Elijah and I own a 2006 Ford Ranger STX, 3.0L with a 5-speed, I live in Columbus, Ohio right now, my truck is stock for now but am working on getting this thing modded...



This is the truck that I am basing my build on...

 

Nicce lookin truck man welcome to the forum i'm about an hour maybe 2 west from you in pitsburgh, pa

 

good to see u finally made it over

 

welcome to RF

Welcome, im down here in perry county, nice truck!

 

Welcome man, I'm from Columbus as well and can help you out with things if you need. Are those the Vistas apartments that your at?

 

welcome

 

welcome

 

thanks for the welcome...

Yeah those are the Vista Apartments... if you ever see my truck, just honk... there are not too many trucks that look like mine in the area...

how does this Night Shade stuff work for tail lights... I would love to get mine done...

I am also working on a Turbo Ranger Project, I am just finishing up my motor, and waiting on my father to give me the 1990 Ranger that is sitting in the yard...

 

welcome to R-F, Elijah!

 

You go to OSU?

 

vistas apartments?


what side of town are those on? that looks familar


Im out by the airport myself



IMO, you need to finish with a bodykit, 4/5 drop and some rims

 

Nope, don't go to OSU, I am working on that though, I am going through Columbus State whenever I get back to going to school...

Yep that is the Vistas, I actually work at the Airport in their Engineering Department...

thanks for the welcome...

I know what you mean about a drop and some rims for the truck, I am thinking about a 3/4 drop instead, big sway bars, some stiff shocks, and some good tires should make for a nice handling truck...

 

Ahh just wondering. Some friends go to OSU and Id probably be visiting there in a couple of weeks for some partying. Ive always liked the 06 STX. Nice truck

 

welcome to the site.

 

if you are interested in a 3/4 Belltech sells a kit, comes with coils and leafs


you can look at summit and stylinconcepts for prices, and since they are in ohio, they ship very fast, oh, and they will price match as well

 

Thanks for the welcome...

I will also be supercharging the truck late this year so stay tuned for the fun to begin :)

Thanks for that information... I will have to look into that belltech kit...

 

i tinted my lights, uve seen them!

 

how many coats of Niteshade did you put on your truck though??? I have read that the more coats you put on, the darker that the tail lights get...

by the way, how did you do your front Ford emblem on your truck??? I must say that it is a nice touch...

 

welcome to the site, I would like to live in columbus. i will trade you? you can live in vegas and i live in columbus.

I am trying to go to OSU. its a good school, i really want to go there.

 

I work fulltime on the Newark campus

 

for the tails i did 2 soft coats. NO clear.

for the ford emblem i used a coat of niteshade and a layer of black paint. no clear.

there all holding up just fine.

 

Howdy! Welcome to the site. I have always wanted a STX to Lower a few inches and throw some rims on. I want one high and one low, but I never see that happening.

 

Scott, the Vistas are over on the North side of Gahanna off of Hamilton Rd. by Stoneridge, almost at Hamilton and Morse, and just east of Easton. He's really close to both of us.
