Like someone said earlier, getting a 2x4, 2.3... Love hate relationship, LOVE gas mileage (70 mile commuting a day) but wanna play in the mud so bad (Still tempting lol)

Also regret the Kicker Bass Station... Wanted to save space but should've just said screw it and put a little more money into a kick ass custom system

Not buying mud terrains when I got my wheels and tires six months ago. I had no idea I'd be working on a farm at the time though. The falken A/T's hold there own for the most part but when i'm in a sloppy bean field i don't have enough bite to ge where I really need to go. Also getting 17's as tire's are pricey

I am just starting out with my ranger. I think my first mods will be: dual exhaust, brusg guard, and tinted tail lights and front turn signals and maybe some kc lights on the brush guard.

Shorty antenna. Reception suffered and now I'm looking at a signal booster to get it back without putting the old antenna in.

if I cut holes for switches they will be up under the dash. I am thinking about putting clearance lights on the top of the cab.

A lot seem to regret that. Makes me wonder why so many do it
