Tires on my XLT

I acquired some 285/75 R16's for my Ranger! Had to modify the wheel well a bit.

Great tires. Is the speedo still correct? Or did you need to adjust for that? They are big. So the only thing you needed to do was MOD the wheel wells. That is inspiring.

Your welcome.

I don't see that color on trucks and cars much. You might have a rare Ranger. Loving it.

======================
TheArticWolf1911> Not sure what downsides you are referring to? The 95 Expo AWD is a DIRECT bolt-in swap into a 98up 4x4 or Edge chassis (Torque Arm Suspension).

New2Ford> No programming issues, you just use the Expo PCM & PATS module.

The truck is my DD and my MPG/MPT aren't any different than the lame 3.0L, and I DON"T LACK FOR POWER!

The wiring is the downfall. The other downfall is that the Expo PCM isn't programmed to work with a manual transmission. So if one wanted to run a manual transmission, that person would need a custom tune to "delete" the automatic inputs from the PCM.

You can get a performance tuning shop to correct that. Or you can buy the flashpaq and do it yourself.

I can't decide if I want a 2 inch lift or big tires. I know I want more height.

The last thing I did was the LED conversion, I've got some (hopefully) brighter LEDs on the way for the cluster courtesy of Buggman, and I'm looking for some needles off an 01 to 03. Then it's on to exterior for a while...

Ah, okay. Since I didn't know what your first house looked like, I didn't have a clue. Congratulations on the new diggs! :)

Just purchased my ranger 2 weeks ago. Installed some offroad led lights behind the grill and led fog lights.
