1993-1997 Ford Rangers
I just bought a Ford Ranger 1997 xlt 4x4 with the 4.0L ohv and little by little i am putting it to my taste and im just curious to see all the other 3rd generation rangers, just to give me ideas on what i could do next. so far i have painted all my plastic trims black, removed the blue pin stripe and now i have bought low profile clearence lights which i should be installing this weekend if the weather allows me to do so.

im having the same issue on deciding, I'm going to do a 2-3 in body lift to start then a few months after I'll do leveling kit, that'll give me a total of 5in lift

Did the filter and throttle body change anything or was it not worth it?

Seems to have helped my truck.. Ive got a friend who has a stock ranger with the same 4.0 and almost the same miles as mine and his truck isnt as easy on gas as mine plus my truck seems to have more power than his..
