Back By Popular Demand!!! The Valance! lol
 
4 Attachment(s)
I have had no front valance for almost 2 years now, put off getting a new one because I wanted something aftermarket or to fab something myself, but that hasn't happened because there isn't available to buy and I have been too busy/lazy to make one.
Every time I post a few pictures I always get asked about the valance (or lack thereof) and I was getting sick of looking at the rad and frame and everything myself so I picked up a new one yesterday and threw it on today after work. It's a big improvement but I'm still not used to seeing it like that. It only had a valance for 1 of the 3 years i've owned it and back then it was completely stock w/ a bug deflector.
Few Pics (now I will only get harassed about my black corners instead of both haha, but once I do the black headlamp mod they will look much better)

If they get painted they are going to be painted black! either flat black over the texture or sand out the texture and paint them gloss black. I don't want to bother with body color because as soon as I have an excuse to paint it the whole truck is going to be painted black or maybe really dark grey.

Jwad00 10-07-2009 07:24 PM

Truck looks real good! Just don't know about those black corners lol

cchsbuzz19 10-07-2009 07:32 PM

It looks so much better, now all you need is 06 corners, and your set. lol

effexfour 10-07-2009 07:34 PM

Thanks everyone!
Anybody know off hand how many amps the foglamp fuse is? I needed one for something else one day and robbed my foglamp fuse since i didnt need it anyways. And i don't have a manual or fuse diagram to look it up. If i know what size it is i can just sick them in empty slots until they come on! haha

RazorsEDGE 10-07-2009 07:36 PM

Haha, we have Christmas lights on our house too! Our landlords just bought this house when we moved in and the last owners of the house had them left up, and nobody has bothered to take them down. It's just as well to leave them up now!

Thanks
They are even really rare up here, they made very few. Mine is the only one I have ever seen, supposedly there is another one around the city somewhere but I have never seen it. I like that is different, there are sooo many rangers around here, and having something different than everybody else is better than having a one of a million built like it ranger.

Hanks Rangers 10-07-2009 09:37 PM

i think its a 20a fuse

effexfour 10-07-2009 10:24 PM

thanks,
I figured it out after, I did go buy more fuses to replace it but just forgot about it.
It's nice having fog's again! Now when I get a HID kit i have to get one for the fog's too so they will match!

Fx4wannabe01 10-07-2009 10:48 PM

I WANT + 4" superlift + Fox coil-overs + 3" BL + 4.88's + 35's + 5spd manual.

Thanks Shane,
Sounds good but I want to keep it a little more driveable, Superlift w/ 33's.
If I put in a superlift and let the t-bars off will it keep it around a 3" lift?

08XLT4x4 10-08-2009 12:33 AM

this has to be the rarest Ranger ever built... a reg cab FX4. sooo dang cool! good call on the valance too lol

Roddy 10-08-2009 09:23 PM

LOL nice! Now it doesnt look like a broken truck anymore!

Now just can those tinted corners and your set!

Machine090767 10-08-2009 09:52 PM

looking good!

effexfour 10-08-2009 10:05 PM

Well you're all gonna be happy because I ordered a set of clear corners yesterday! I need a set anyways so I can do the black mod on the to match the headlamps when I get around to doing them. But i will throw them on the way they are for a while anyways just for a change, and to shut you all up!! haha j/k

dixie_boysles 10-09-2009 05:21 AM

looks great, but i think it needs 06+ corners--not black, they stick out like a sore thumb
