I bought my Ranger last February, being a ex fleet vehicle (power truck) I got a very good deal on it. Also being assembled at the twin cites plant made it kind of cool knowing the last ranger came from there. Anyways, When I first got it it had some Firestone destinations on it. Which where just about useless for what I do (forestry) So I waited until the spring and bought a new set of shoes for it. They are a 265 75 16 Retread a exact copy of a cooper mud-terrain. They work amazing, if you don't mind road noise.
I am trying to find the original pictures of when I first bought it, but being the first nice thing I have ever owned the excitement of driving it around overrode the picture taking
I tinted the windows myself (don't ask where i summoned the patients for this project) I went 5% in the back, and in the spring I may tint the sides maybe 50% or something light as it is illegal to have tint on the side windows (front).
So far the only thing I have done to the truck, is the air box mod with a K&N drop in filter. I can actually notice a bit of difference down low. And with my foot out of it the mileage was a bit better....(until the new tires went on). I bought a set of sliverstar lights for it until I can find some HID's that fit my taste (looking for a pure white).
Here are some pictures (I will try to get them in order) They start off from the tire shop before the new tires went on, then when I got home. Then when I cranked the torsion bars up (the tires did clear without the crank front and back) And finally the last pic showing it is possibly to get a full size ATV (03 Arctic cat 500 4x4) in the back of our trucks, even with my tires.
