Re: The Ramger
Are you planning on dropping in a bigger engine? That was my first thought when I saw the name Ramger.

No, I call it the Ramger cause I have a brush guard that I either use to push my friends or cuz I tend to be an A-hole in MBBS parking lot!

Use OEM plugs, the best for a Ranger. Others have had problems with other brands, do a search, and ye shall see. May as well replace the wires as well, since you're already there.

Got 8 Motorcraft spark plugs from RockAuto. Got KYB shocks instead of Bilsteins (ran out of money for the bilsteins)

Also I'm wondering if I should get LEDs for my reverse lights...
