Patriotic Truck?
 
I have a 1996 Ford Ranger XLT and bought a set of red white and blue LED's. Im not sure where to put them on the truck, any ideas?

I was also thinking about painting to body stars and stripes. Stars with a blue base on the front back to the door panels, and red/white stripes to the back.

how about nowhere unless you want to get pulled over.

not a fan of the major glory paint scheme either except on amc's

might look pretty good, if you get some airbrush work done too.

red,white and blue lights, cops should have fun with you if you actually turn them on lol

The Justice Friends. technically a part of Dexter's laboratory rather than a standalone show.

i couldn't remember that show, it was soo awesome.

Man that brings back some memory's. Good times good times. Red and blue lights are a BIG no no btw. Use them on the inside only and even then i would not turn them on while driving...

I've thought about a good looking flag on the tail gate, something modern, kinda splash like painted flag on there, but never did it. I'll just stick with the american flag decals on the sleds and toolbox

SteelDirigible 01-23-2011 08:43 PM

there's somebody with one, i think over on rps is where i saw it.

96AmericanRanger 01-25-2011 07:53 PM

thanks alot for the ideas. have no worries i had no intentions of putting them on the outside, already had a friend pulled over for a like situation.

here's an image of what it might be come warmer weather.

SteelDirigible 01-25-2011 08:17 PM

STUPIDHEAD11 01-25-2011 08:22 PM

WTF is on the roof? is that a sort of red white and blue light casting device? crazy patriotic people lol my dome lights are red white and blue

01RangerEdge 01-25-2011 08:25 PM

It's a loudspeaker by the looks of it. That truck is awful

03edge 01-25-2011 08:41 PM

thats pretty intense.....id go a little less in your face. maybe paint an american flag on the tailgate. but its all about what you want man! after all its your truck

blue_oval 01-25-2011 09:06 PM

Id have to say it was some broke dude trying to run for president and painted his ranger and put a loud speaker on it and used it as a campaign vehicle.

StxDangerRanger 01-25-2011 09:10 PM

Reminds me of the Blues Brothers ol' Dodge with the loudspeaker on it.
lol.

TNRanger23 01-26-2011 08:47 AM

Flag painted on the truck is a bad photoshop..

You can tell by looking at the fenders and the wheel wells..

kiltro 01-26-2011 05:36 PM

yeah that's fugly.
