Default Re: If you win Powerball tonight, how will you improve your Ranger?

Shit, with that kind of money I'm taking my truck to West Coast Customs so they can do all the work on a 5.0 swap.

And I'll drive around in something else while its being done

Swap in a supercharged/stroked 302, Dixon Bros long travel kit or D44 TTB with long tavel, 4 link in the rear with full width 8.8 or 9", 35's, caged, glass of course... Basically a 4x4 trophy truck.

All new stuff underneath, suspension lift, full skids, big tires, put in a 302 V8, with a 5 speed, turn it into a 4 door ext cab from a 2 door. Have all the body sand blasted and re-painted, new interior, new system, and lots lots more.
Thats a good idea. I'd do that too!

If I had all that money I would do what Jewler and Sonic04Edge already do which is maintain a nice turnaround rate on the vehicles I own

Default Re: If you win Powerball tonight, how will you improve your Ranger?

I have student loan debt, credit card debt, and two vehicle payments between my wife and I in addition to the regular monthly payments in utilities, food, insurance, gas, etc. Also, we have a 3 year old son. Last, we are renting an apt. that we would like to get out of for a house. If by some slim chance, we win the lottery, I would definitely like to get ahead for once. I may modestly buy a hard tonneau cover or something, but after all is said and done, I think that we would want to get some savings again.

Buy a nice piece of property and build a log cabin in the mountains. Probably pick up an SVT Raptor and/or the 2013 F-250 Super Duty Platinum. Being so young I would have to work, which wouldn't bother me. Probably travel a good bit.

but would 110% keep my Ranger as a daily driver!
