Wanna Do A Few Things To My Ranger

rangertim · #1 10-10-2010, 05:14 PM

i just got my ranger a few weeks ago and havent really done anything to it yet, I got HID's and fog light mod so far and want to do the air silencer mod and throttle cable mod tomorrow, are they functional and worth doing?. I'm going to look at a rollbar tomorrow, its black with 2 kc lights on it and i might get it. Any suggestions on to get the rollbar or not? Pros? Cons? I'm also looking to just put a leveling kit on it and 18" black rockstars wrapped in 32"x11" toyo allterrains. Any suggestions or comments on the things i have done or plan to do? Thanks

no rims ( in my opinion) take your stock...i guess thats what they are...and sand em down spray em with flat black paint, honestly on a yellow rang would look super nasty, air box mod is amazing only for the fact that when you really lean into the truck, say 3500rpms or so its a deep resonate rumble that sounds like heaven, and you gain bout 1 mpg, throttle mod only is good when your rang is old and the cord is stretched, a little give is good, too tight and youll be burning fuel at a stop, tires however do sound sick dude, i wanna ditch my radials

hey another mod is the headlight crap, take it out, bake it in the oven, pull lense off, tape up lights and spray down with black...or yellow...its easy free but you may need to re-aim your lights

yellow? never heard of anyone doing the headlight mod in yellow

I dont see why not though, this dude seems obsessed with yellow

Thanks guys, yeah honestly i was hesitant about the yellow when i first got the truck but i love itnow and the headlight mod with yellow lenses seems like a righteous idea I might try that when i get a chance i would have to color match i guess??? I havent seen a ranger with rockstars before and i really like the looks of them. Would i fit 32's if i leveled the truck out?

STUPIDHEAD11 · #9 10-10-2010, 08:03 PM

32's would be a stretch but even 2" block lift wouls be plenty and 2" blocks arent that much, like under 50 and especially with (ew) rockstar rims, youll wann bump the yellow lady up a few, and you really wouldnt have to color match due to the fact that: 1 the yellow is under a lense so the color will look distorted anyway andddd 2 who honestly cares if youre a shade off...YOULL HAVE YELLOW LIGHTS NUKKA!!!

yeah true i might just go with black, so a 2" block and torsion keys will look good? (not front saggy) Cause i dont like it when trucks sag in the front i like the leveled out look. The priciest thing I plan on putting on the truck is the rims and tires so I wanna spend as less amount on other stuff as possible because this is my to and from work truck ha but it seems like my list of things to do to the truck just gets longer everyday

I FEEL YOU COPLETELY and in a non gay way, i get so wrapped up in do this do that and ive already ended up putting over 500 bucks in idea into a 160,000 mile ranger. if anything, have the front sit higher than the back but yea 2" bump up would do wonders for the appeal. your truck stock could take 32 barely but itll look goofy and drive wierd

blueranger789 · #12 10-10-2010, 08:24 PM

hes got an edge, should already have the blocks over the axle, maxing the tbars should allow him to run 32s now

STUPIDHEAD11 · #13 10-10-2010, 08:26 PM

very true, yea, either put em on now and ride but i think itll look kinda like your truck sits righ ton your wheels but we'll see, im prolly wrong

blueranger789 · #14 10-10-2010, 08:27 PM

theyll fit fine

rangertim · #15 10-10-2010, 09:52 PM

Yeah I was looking at that today and noticed so i guess my truck technically already has a 2" block lift? And i heard maxing out the tbars would be bad in some way true?!? or not? cause i really dont wanna do any harm ya know. And yeah stupidhead i like seeing a little higher in the front if anything but hate the sag.. haha
