I have dumped mucho money into the Ranger. Not like that's a bad thing! But what else should I do. I would like to lower the rear end a little so that it's level. Or would it be easier to raise the front end 2"? Take a look and tell me what sucks and what it's missing. Thanks!




This is a more recent pic with the new lower valance, I need some fog lights, but first I need a way to mount them. I found some Smoked Fogs on ebay that might go okay with the smoked projectors and/or blackouts.

 

What all have you done? All I see is headlights, Explorer gauges and a bed cover. Be careful those smoked out headlight covers are illegal and dangerous. Trucks looking sharp tho, I like the color.

 

Well, I have the K&N Cold Air, not to mention the 2500 spent on paint and body work after a freaking deer jumped out in front of me. I have taillights as well, I'd like to dump the carbon fiber tails for some 07 tails or something. I have a little 8" sub behind the passenger seat. has anyone used the MTX thunderforms for the reg. cab trucks? i need a 10. this 8 isnt cuttin' it. I have the ipod interface in there as well, you can see it below my shift. I'd love some cobra r's or something but would that be a plug and play type deal?

 

other than the "ford" tonneau cover i love the truck

 

yeah, you arent the first to not like the cover. it's actually just a decal that my mother made in her shop, it can be easily removed though.

 

looks nice.

If you are going for the street look then lower the rear, but if you want more of a offroad type then raise the front...

 

I think some Cobras and drop it down 2 more inches would look awesome. Get some 07 tails and niteshade them some to make them darker.

 

I'd love to have some 17inch or 18 inch cobras wrapped in some nice street tires. i hate that i can take off when it's raining or snowing. i want some traction!

 

thts the life of trucks with lots of horsepower... lol...

 

lol....well when you put a 4.0L V6 into such a small truck I guess that's what you get!

 

Drop it and remove the headlight covers.

 

i've got that mtx 10" thunderform that your asking about. it's awesome. i listen to a lot of country, so i dont need a thousand watts behind my seat. but with a small cab, i think its perfect. it you listen to rap/hip hop - just do a cab cut-out and stuff some 15's in it.

 

really?! Im excited to hear that you like it. Do you have any pics of it easily available? I'd love to see what it looks like...the problem is that I have the bucket seats and the mid. console does NOT move up when the seats are moved up, so is that a prob? I listen to a lot of country and rock as well. I cant wait to get one!!!

 

i dont think the seats will pose a problem. i'll get some pics tomorrow for ya. i'm meeting up with a ranger buddy for a shoot. i dont have a grill on it, so when it kicks it vibrates the seat and makes for a great massage.

 

lol, nice. which seat do you have it behind? does it cause for less leg room. the box i have in there now houses an 8" sub and my passengers basically sit straight up and are still almost on top of the dash. I would love some pics, i really appreciate it man!

 

you neeed 07 tails, no gts heatlight covers, l/s rear end of some sort, lower the rear, some nice exhaust if not already equipped and the splash valance with factory foglights

 

I want a single exhaust to come out under the passenger stepside with a cool retangular tip or something. what is the factory valance on a splash? is the one i have not it?

also what is l/s rear end? i am confused.

 

^ l/s = limited slip rear end

truck looks clean! I need a set of those headlights

 

what about these fogs for my lower valance...they are smoked like everything else on the ranger...i hope you like them since i bought them about 5 min ago.

 

those are the foglights that go in the original valance, the one i like. you need the brackets for the lights now. give us the axle code on your door sticker

 

yeah, thats the valance I have, in that bottom pic (the one with the blackouts) you can see the new valance. I have seen the factory brackets that FORD sells for 150 a piece and I matched those up with the inside of my bumper and they would fit perfectly, only I'm not about to pay 300 for brackets!! ill see what i can come up with..

anyone have pics or a design for a custom bracket for my situation here??

 

^ I found my set of fog light brackets for $15 dollars on the forums, originally saw them on TRS but the guy posted them for sale on here too, so keep your eyes peeled!

 

drop the rear with some black chrome cobra r's, if you can get black chrome in those wheels

 

talk to redneckstone for bracket help. he is the "splash valance god"

 

I'd say explorer axle keep it spring under and get 03-04 cobra rims!
