Talking Pics and a couple vids in my ranger

I introduced myself over in the meet/greet section, but wanted to put up some pics of my truck, and a couple videos I made. Its an 05 2wd single cab xlt... I take it almost anywhere... One of my favorite past-times is fishing, and I just "hate" walking all the way to the river, so why not drive if you can.. haha...

Leave me some comments on the truck and my videos... thanks










(with old tires, and these were almost as slick as the top of my head... haha)
















and a little 4-banger burnout... lol..

I've been looking for an exhaust, not sure what kind yet, dont' want it to sound too "ricer", yet with a 4-cyl truck I haven't found one that sounds just right for me yet...

I put on a set of 235/70-15s to replace my 225/70s... When I got the truck it had 25k miles on it.... It has 35k on it now, and the OE continental conti-tracs didn't last very long, so I went with a local tire stores grand prix tires that my friend had on his ranger. He's had good luck and got 50k miles out of his...

so for now, if i can just find the right muffler for it that would be a big step for me - since i dont have alot of extra funds to spend (just got the bedliner too so that took some of my spare $$s)...

EDIT: I already did the tint right after I got it....

thanks....

I've been looking on youtube listening to different exhaust clips... some I like, some not so good. I've been siting down at night and trying to check out different rangers with the newer 2.3L and see how they sound...

I really like that color. It doesn't show dirt & looks great when clean.

Love the last pic!

Its so serene there, but the road getting there is rather rough... the videos where I'm "offroading" so to speak is taken going and coming from there.... there's one place where you have to take it sort of easy over some big rocks, but even in the 2wd, and then I had bad tires, I managed just fine, and where I'm parked its rather sandy and at times muddy, but so far I've managed "NOT" to get stuck permanently



i really wanted a different color but this was the only one with a manual transmission i could find... After I bought it, I really like this color, as it doesn't show dirt much.. In those pics its pretty dirty... I put the rubber mats down over the carpet mats to keep those clean... I'm always getting the carpet ones soiled easy..

Here's some pics of it all cleaned up though, and it looks a little better.. haha...

mines the same type key that my 94 had... but that one in your pic is like the crown vic or the marquis... not sure why they have different ones tho?

but I dont have a keyless entry or power windows or door locks either, so maybe thats why?

I had a maroon 94 before this one, and it showed dirt terrible... this truck has 35k on it, and i've had it since march... I think it had around 28k or so when i got it. I was looking at an 04 Frontier, with extended cab, but I had such good service with my 94 figured might as well get another ranger... and this one trucks is "The ST-Ranger"...
