I would be if I were you, it's a perfect set up with the rims too.:like:

I've had my share of black vehicles and I do love them when they're clean. Out here we have so much dust in the air it would be a full time job for me cleaning it with my OCD. :crazy:
LOL, I’m the same way but I had to give up and not worry about it since I don’t have a garage big enough to park in. I do keep the bird crap wiped off but have cut my washes to once a week depending on the weather.

No block in the rear. I had the same rake as yours and now it sits about 1/4” higher in the front than the rear. I think you would be pleased in the construction of the BDS. They are extremely well built. Hit up Frank here at Stage 3, I’m sure he’d cut you a great deal. This photo was taken after my alignment.

That's a great looking truck and so friggin' clean!

LOL, thanks to @AzScorpion I have a pressure washer and Mr. Pink. I used some Karcher car soap but if left huge spots (all I did was spray it on and then rinse it off, I suppose if I had a mitt or sponge and actually rubbed, that may have been better).

Anyway ... your truck really does look pretty amazing!

Must be working because my definition of inflation seems to be the inflation of the number of "must haves" for this Ranger!

My foam cannon isn't getting here until the week after next, so I can hold on to the tiniest shred of my dignity until then ...

I'm glad you know I'm kidding (I say as I weep but not strong enough to lift Kleenex to my eyes). =D

I do and it's all in good fun. It makes my day (the joking) along with your smile on your face after your dump runs. ? I'm glad you love "Soupie" and are putting your Ranger to good use.

I really am thrilled with Soupie!

My wife just got the top of the line Mazda CX-5 turbo (Signature trim) and that thing has all the toys (11 speaker Bose, lane assist and adaptive cruise control, incredible navigation, great off-road mode, leather seats and wood trim, plus memory for seat position, mirrors, and heads up display).

It's a far cry from the XL with 101A but she pointed out that that's kind of my thing - super utilitarian and that Soupie is my new "Tojo". She's right. The 14 year old me that started driving that FJ-40 and would daily drive it for over 20 years is now the 60 year old me has that same thrill in driving the Ranger.

It's really perfect for me and what I like to do (dump runs!!! one planned for tomorrow clearing more backyard brush!). =D

And part of that joy includes all the things I've learned here and the great comraderie this forum has. I'd gladly sacrifice my man card and arm strength all over again. =D

Hi all. I’m looking for some input with regards to upgrading my coil overs. My primary reason for considering this is to alleviate some of the nose diving under heavy braking and the wallowing affect when going in turns on the interstate that have uneven surfaces. I do not off-road the truck, it’s mostly just street driving. I currently have a 3” level lift from RangerLifts and I’m running 285/70R 17’s. Im looking at getting the Fox 2.0 coil overs and the Fox rear shocks. At around 1300 bucks, I’d like to know if these symptoms would be mostly resolved based on anyones personal experiences. I would really appreciate any input and apologize in advance for me not responding right away, I’m slaving away at work.
If you can afford it do iiittt
You'll also like any of the other aftermarket coilovers from big names like Icon, eibach, Bilstien, etc.. It's a fun upgrade and not too difficult to install. Just follow along with the youtube video of the bald guy installing Fox 2.0 coilovers on a blue ranger. Trust me. He does it right.
