Lets hear what you would do if you owned this truck, and why:

Serious replies only guys, please don't trash the thread.





I would probably do 17" or 18" chrome bullitts, mild 2" drop, t-bolt sway bars, xcal3, intake & exhaust, UD pulley set, efan, headers, hurst shifter, OHC and autodim mirror, Edge/Sport gauge swap most likely, factory leather steering wheel, maybe swap in carpet, pioneer double din, upgraded speakers, single 12" sub behind the driver seat.. and of course a p/a setup LOL.

Why?...
Remember, I had this before:



Lets hear it guys.

 

I would also drop it a bit with some bigger rims. Not 20s but 18s.

 

Drop it with 18's. roll pan.

 

replace the front bumper, drop a 347 with a t-5 in it, throw slicks on the back, roll pan, strip the interior, brushed aluminum dash, roll bar, re-work the rear suspension, narrow 9", hard cover over the bed and make it a fast freakin Ranger on the 1/4 mile

 

5/7 drop on 18s, hid's, black headlights and corbers, tint, shave everything, rollpan, nightshade the tails, system, exhaust, headers... why you ask? because it would be cool!

 

I'd drive it.

 

Bagged on 20's.

 

drop it some and run 20s

tint

performance goodies

 

your ideas sound good.. 18's not 20's and use it as a DD...

 

Drop it w/ a 4/5 on some 18's black head lights and corners and a ton of performance goodies and then some good audio stuff.

 

definitly lower it and put 18's on it. and put all the performance accessories that you could buy for it on it.

definitly wouldn't mind having one

 

5/7 drop... 5.0l swap... gloss black cobra rims and a system. probably a few other odds and ends.

 

i would GenX it



bag it, thunderbolt sideskirts, roll pan, 20" boyd wheels


best wheels he ever had on the truck IMO

 

sas it and convert it to 4wd.. why? because thats how i like my trucks

 

I like his answer the best so far.

 

I looked into an Fx4 LII (just to have the most fully loaded Ranger) and Edge/Sport (just for the look)- However, I don't NEED a gas hog 4x4 or '4x4 wanna be'. 4x2 suits most of us Texans just fine

 

Bagged on 18s, 4.6 super charged cobra motor swap, the works

 

haha nice. Anybody know if the t-bolt body kit would be an issue with the STX/mazda bed? I know the front valence is kind of off balance looking as is. I started liking the mazda bed after figuring wider tires/rims would look good because it has that little bit of flare to it.

 

For myself--


This screams Supercharged V8 Swap, with Black/silver rimmed Baja's.. some 16x8 in front, 16x10 in the rear; lowered just enough to keep you down low; solid tonnaeu cover on the rear; followed up with glossy black racing strips down the middle. Then change out to a kick *** interior overhaul to match the exterior, get some 6 point harness setups; possible roll cage as well for the added kick-assedness.. and wham, you got a truck of the year award :-D

 

I would drop it slightly, but go more for handling. Basically throw this body on D's chassis. The entire suspension work but a little lower and the go fast goodies that D has.

Rim wise I think 18x9 front and 18x10 rear FR500's in Gunmetal.

 

Not my thing, but I would level it out, pics looks like the *** end is higher, tint the window, new rims and tires, color matched solid topper, sound system with a blow thrue with some serious power maybe 4 15's in the bed ported into the cab. paint the headlights to color match maybe angel eye's if ya like the lights / ricer look, and call it done.

Any lower and I would also add tow hooks front and back to give you something to be pulled off speed bumps with.

thats my thoughts, but I prefer Lifted trucks.

 

I know plenty of people who live in Texas that would say otherwise

 

rhino line the bed, wheels and all terrain tires, maybe a little lift, rubber floor instead of carpet. its a truck and i would use it like a truck.

 

Unless I run into a mudhole on my way to work, unless I live on the top of an unpaved mountain, unless my concrete driveway somehow turns into a mudhole, or unless somehow Texas gets 3' of snow, I don't HAVE the need for a 4x4. I've gotten by with 2wd since 2002, works for me!

 

18" Cobra wheels in gunmetal, exhaust, headlight mod, 06+ corners, carpet (then sell me your vinyl, i call dibs =P), 2/3 drop......you know, keep it simple.
