So since ive last been on my truck got stripped down and painted all the body work done, got factory color plus a little shine, i also got it pin stripped to match new wheels. I just bought 06 mustang rims sitting on P-Zero's. And got new lights and blinkers and other boring shit... Got the motor freshened and ignition stuff, let me know whatcha think(dont worry if u dont like it its ok, thats why i call it mine) lol:icon_thumby:




this is what it used to look like\/

Very sharp :) I really like the new wheels. The only thing I would change would be to replace as much of the rubber fuel line with hard line as you can and maybe wrap it with heat reflective tape where it goes from the wheel well to the carb. When I have used that tape in the past I used the smallest size zip/wire-ties at the ends so it doesn't come off. Just a thought,cooler fuel makes for more power :) Also if you use fuel injection fuel hose it will last longer and be safer,with the stuff they put in the gas these days it seems regular fuel hose doesn't last real long. Again....very nice Ranger!

i wish my valve covers were that easy to get out!

yours look so easy... mine were a complete PITMFA

if they are as easy as it looks to get out, maybe you could take those off, paint the raised parts red to match... would accent really nice! i really like colored engine compartments... they look so cool to me.
