Alright mods, its time… I need you to ban my ip address. I just bought an exhaust system and mishimoto cai…. after buying rtr flares, rtr rims and an rtr grille….. and a fpp tune…. and tires…. and a tonneau cover…. after telling my wife that I “wouldn’t need to buy any mods if I buy the top trim ranger because it has everything that I want!”

It’s been nice knowing you all.

OK, I'm not a mod, but you brought this sh@$ on yourself.

Fortunately I don't have a wife so I can get all the mods I want. My list was long but almost complete. I just need a Catch Can now and am waiting for my grille. Wah Whooooooooo.

I actually told myself (and believed it) that by buying the top of the line Lariat, fully loaded, I would not need any mods "because it has everything that I want"!

Really? I got everything I wanted in my Lariat, but a TG Damper...

I would have bought a Tremor, if they were available. It would have been cheaper in the long run. I knew at some point I would get a different suspension, and that's still a work in progress. I can still drive the forest roads I frequent in a stock vehicle, but the stock tires scare me. I'm going to have enough of a full-time load on it soon that I will need better tires.

I got the Lariat. Love it. I am doing minor mods. I'm swapping rear shocks, adding a strobe to the 3rd brake light, and signed up for the folding mirror mod. Actual mods? Probably not.

As for damper jokes. I have one. I like it. I will post my 'mod' for it. I don't get why everyone thinks it's funny, but, whatever.

If you’re banned, you’ll just make up another account. You’ll sneak and look at the posts as a non user. I understand the wife thing. Do what I do: I just had her go out on the carport last night and told her to “just look at the gap underneath my front license plate”. I said “doesn’t that look crazy and incomplete?”. She couldn’t believe Ford would leave it like that. By the time I was done, she told me to get that fixed now. I’ve done that with a few little add ons. Just gotta play the game. Learned it from her. Short version: “Jeff, look at this beautiful purse that’s on sale”. You know what happens next..

talk politics....works half the time

regardless, the damper comment was almost spot on, however you need to buy one, not avoid it.

heres why...

the wife will use it once....and then she's hooked. she will forget about all the other mods.
It may work out in your favor down the road since Xmas will come again, and you will likely be the recipient of a beautiful man purse under the tree. win win in my opinion
What if his wife likes it so much that her next comment is: "Honey - I'm taking the truck".

My wife and I keep separate finances. We have access to the others accounts in case of emergencies, but we have our own money. If either wants something we buy it, no questions asked. When I was talking myself into buying the ranger I asked what she thought and she said "I don't care, it's your money".

Funny story. We got married in '98. Before we were married we bought a house, but she still had a house so we couldn't get approved for a loan together. I opened the mortgage in only my name. Well, she gave me money to help with the down payment but I had to prove where the money came from, it couldn't just show up in my account. So, I wrote her a receipt to 'buy' my Toyota truck, on paper. From that point on whenever I was doing something to the truck she'd say "hey, what are you doing to MY truck?"
