Re: Factory fogs

Go to Rockauto.com and get the correct stuff at a decent price. Housing, bulbs etc... Easy install. I got new lights w/bulbs for around $30 each if I remember correctly.

Wink Re: Exaust change

Just put a 2.25" Magnaflow on my 4.0 SOHC. Sounds good, low rumble but not obnoxious. Still fairly quiet in the cab. Glad I did it.

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread

I side swiped it with my other vehicle while backing out of the drive. Scuffed the paint on the passenger doors. Hopefully it will polish out. :mad:

Started with a 1968 Chrysler 300 4 door hard top. Had a 440ci which more engine than a 17 year old needed. A land yacht that could melt the tires. Roomy back seat ;)
