Bought another ford! 1987 ford ranger, Trussed SAS, 5 speed, 4WD, 4.88 or 4.56 gears, custom winch bumper and 4r100 tranny. Can't remember what engine, but it's ready to swap a 5.4 engine in, all I need is the engine, components, and proper pressure plate. I'm thinking lightning engine! Pics will be up this weekend!


Other than that HID fogs came in, going to seal exhaust leak from removing rear cats, no CEL btw, and get a second key so my fiancé can take it to get tinted. 13% all around with a 10% banner on my windshield.

Ordered my tuner sometime this week, should be here sometime next week. It's an SCT X-4 with 3 custom tunes from MPT. Eager to see what it will do for me, and I got it for a steal online. More than $100 off! With the tuner I should be able to look Ito getting a larger throttle body, and mass air flow sensor to match, along with some longtube headers. The comes my lift, wheels, and tires.


Since fuel no longer makes the 813 Octane in 5x135, I've decided on KMC XD batallions. 18x10 with a -24 offset and 4.56 backspacing. Should give a pretty aggressive stance when wrapped with 325-60-r18s

Got the fogs installed and took a couple pictures... Addicted to lights... Just a little bit though!


First is just my heads and fogs, second is fully lit!

Tuner came in early! Get a preloaded tune loaded right now, and ordered my 3 custom MPT tunes. Eager to see what the tuner alone does.

I ran 91 octane in 2 of my custom tunes, and one Is race and one is street

Just curious why you go through all the trouble to hide your amp when you have a huge speaker box and sub sitting on the back seat...

Good looking truck though

well, the sub box only cost me 260 where as my sub amp cost me 600 and my speaker amp cost me 400 I think. So they won't be able to take the amps out unless they got a lot of time as my installer had to remove my driver seat for the expensive amp. I figure if somebody is going to break into my truck they'll go for something quick and easy. So I'll be willing to risk my sub instead of my amps, until I get a viper alarm system, and tint, that is.
