Tires and wheels mounted last night! I love the way the new setup looks.

Just a few more photos:





I'm debating possibly throwing a set of belltech shackles on it, but I'm not sure. It sits fairly level right now.

Drug my toy car off to be tuned after installing the supercharger in it this winter. The truck did a fairly decent job pulling it. Was right around it's towing capacity (~4900 lbs). The engine had decent enough power, but the suspension was definitely not built to do this haha.

Are you also on MIFoci and/or Ford Focus Owners of Michigan?

I'm in the MI Foci Facebook group I think? I spend more of my time on Focaljet though.

Nice! Small world. I live just north of Vicksburg so I spend a lot of time in the southern part of the county.

In that case it might be fun to meet up whenever I come back! I am usually about a mile south of Schoolcraft so it isn't that far away (for me anyways)

After much deliberation and coming about this close to purchasing a rust-free 2000 Toyota 4Runner from New Mexico, I've decided to hang onto my Ranger for a while longer.

It's up to 166,000 miles and still runs fantastic. I need to do something about the surface rust on the bed side and the passenger front fender under the flare. They are both getting worse month by month. I bought some primer, paint and clear coat to fix it but I'm debating just doing the easy method and bedlining everything under the body line.
