Exclamation Any upgradeing tips

I got a 2000 Ford Ranger 2WD 3.0L. I love fords. But right now i just got a new radio installed. Do you ladies and gets have any ideas. I am a beginner at installing parts ( I have never done any major upgrades). Just got a ford ranger. And I have watched Gearz and two guys garage on speed tv. Good shows and inspiration for me.

What have you done so far? My first major mod , at least to me, was installing my body lift. Then everything else after that seemed like gravy.

I wouldnt do a Body lift until you get some bigger tires, or else you will look funny.

You can do a 3" body lift.

Psh I was rolling stockers for months before I had the funds to get bigger tires.
