yea I kinda like purple and now everytime I get in the truck it reminds me of my lady :) I'm not sure whats next on the list for the truck, either taking out the bedliner and putting in the toolbox I have or start building the custom sub box I want, I drew a quick sketch to kinda get an idea what I want, I'm not sure about the top sub, but the bottom one for sure will be built

excuse my crappy drawing skills lol

How did you do the dual exhaust? Did you get a kit or do it yourself? Any under body shots of how it's routed (pretty please?!)

It say's: "Z3CHYD's Ranger" in different fonts/sizes, as you all know that's my username on here, Youtube, and several other forums. As for ransom notes, I don't think so haha. And if I ever sell the truck I'm def. keeping the dash :)

It's a cherrybomb extreme dual out, and an exhaust kit for a 96 Ranger from ebay, but it fit my 86 since there wasn't any listed for 86 on ebay, they were 100 bucks for the pipes and hangers, but it appears it went up 30, here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dual-Exhaust-Pipes-Chevy-Toyota-Dodge-Ford-Dakota-/190489176791?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5a0a2ad7

Sweet. Thanks. I was thinking about going this route (with another muffler though). That's pricey though isn't it? Pretty damn tempting though...

i got the muffler for 40, and the over axle pipes that go out the back, with all the hangers and clamps needed for 100, so I paid 140 bucks for my entire exhaust, rather than have an exhaust shop custom make me one for like 300, I don't think it cost to much, but thats me, sounds awesome btw!

On second though, I guess it isn't too bad. A new catback would be about the same price. And yeah...screw going to a shop, especially if you can do it your self. Exhaust is easy (well..Most of the time!)
