I'm 17 in the 11th grade. I dont have a job so I am limited to what I can do to my truck. I also live on a dirt road which keeps me from lowering it. I got this truck last July. It is my first vehicle and I love it. The motor is 2.3L with a 5 speed manual. The rear end is 7.5 with 3.45 gear. I have not put any performance mods on it as I do not have a job. I washed it up today and decided to take pics. The window tint was done by me, thats why it looks kind of shitty. The color of my truck is green. The camera makes it look kind of bluish. Friday night I also figured out that my truck cuts off at 103mph.

Last night i decided to do a little mudding on one of the adjacent dirt roads:








Here it is after being washed up:


















My LED fog lights:






Interior:






Radio I got for Christmas. Its a VR3. I cant complain because it was free:




My JDM tach:




My 2 MTX 10s. In the doors I have Pioneer 260W 4-way speakers:

Looks almost identical to my '96 ranger. Trucks looking good. How do you like those led fog lamps? I'm using halogen fog lamps and am fairly satisfied, but always looking for more.:icon_thumby:

The fastest I could ever get my truck to go was 92 mph, and that was directly behind another car. I'm approaching my 40's I should know better. Be careful out there don't get a ticket or worse! I'm sure your insurance premiums are high as heck already!

Nice truck!

Dunno if you had a intro thread but welcome to TRS!

Your lucky being 17 in 11th grade.. I'm 17 in 12th and I can't find a job to get myself some money for college, It's horrible haha.

Anyways, how do you like the VR3? I almost bought one a while back.. I like the idea of SD sourced music.

My insurance is about $95 a month. The LED fog lights absolutely do not light up the road. I cant even tell they're on. But the light is more intense than halogen. Te VR3 is ok I guess. It serves the purpose. The only thing is that i can get my subs to play treble along with the door speakers. I think that it has to do with the radio.

Yes, the subs are 2 10s. They are MTX. The amp is an Alpine. I would get some rims, but I cant pull money out of my ass.
