Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread

I just did this two weekends ago and I also have a '97 with a 2.3. If you haven't installed the wires yet, I would return them and go to Advance Auto and pick up a set of Autolites, they already...

I've got a black 97 stepside and I want to tint my windows. Here's the issue: my summer car is tinted 5% and 20% back and sides, respectively, and at night, I can't see squat when I'm backing up. ...
