Jokes on you, I did it already!I was in full support until you got to tailgate damper. Now on the wife's side - after 51 years, you need to put a damper on your own tailgate.
Hence, my screen name
I've done more to this truck than any other I've owned thanks to this forum. ? I've had 9 other trucks before my Ranger and I've never done anything to them but a drop in bed liner and a bed mat. The only thing stoping me from doing more is I only keep mine for 3 years (business write off) and anything more just isn't worth it. Also if there's going to be a Ranger Raptor I want one as long as it's not ridiculously priced.You know, maybe the engineers knew what they were doing when they gave us the base truck with the opportunities to make it our own. The 'RANGER' impression on the tailgate just waiting to be dressed up, the hood just waiting for some matte black stipes, the chance to lift it and put some oversize tires in the wheel well openings, bed liners, bed covers, ladder racks, sports bars, mud flaps, running boards, skid plates... and of course the lack of a tailgate damper. Its a blank canvas just waiting for personalization.
I've accessorized vehicles before but this is my first truck and probably my last because I'll be broke.
I don't even wanna know my costs....? luckily for me my wife loves the truck, when she saw a leveled ranger with bigger wheels and tires SHE said "we need to do that to your truck, that's so cool!" I had to stop walking and think, is that my wife? LOL so I said well, I do have a wishlist, I've just never brought up. She's all in as long as we can budget it. So I am just eeking along here and there... ?
Look deep into the depths of your soul...
"Close to being done" that's like me saying I have enough guns and tools LOLLook deep into the depths of your soul...
That said, I think my Ranger is close to being done, at least for a little while.
I also said this right before I replaced my front speakers with the Rockford Fosgate components, so, accuracy of the statement may be suspect.
The only other thing I am for sure going to do is either replace all struts with the Bilsteins, replace only the rears with Eibach or Bilsteins, or do the full Eibach struts and springs.
Close only counts for horse shoes, hand grenades and Nuclear weapons..
I've got to say, that after doing the Eibach rears only and then the from leveling Sports, the truck went from great to super duper fantastic. I had the fronts set to the .75 and used factory springs. Been rock solid since. Just added to the reasons to keep on smilin...and it didn't cost an arm and a leg so I can get other "needed" mods I'm not doing lol!!Look deep into the depths of your soul...

I was wondering if anyone installed one of those bumper grills! Pretty big hole for a rock to get in there & cause some damage. Glad you mentioned that, I’m going to have to have one. Thanks
