well i traded in my old rust bucket 1995 and got myself a 2005 FX4. ive never had such nice of a vehicle. i owe it all to my dad(RIP). it the newest vehicle my family has ever had and im only 17...almost 18.

soon to come-3in body lift, 33's or 35's, and a metal skid plate up front. ive already cranked the t-bars and already got my black steelies ready to go.

hope you enjoy

not ranger related but my other toys
1974 XL350 that sat in a field for 3 years, got it running and it already looks better

and last but not least 2008 KX450F. im a yamaha guy but i couldnt pass it up, really good price(have added a FMF Carbon Fiber pipe)

well i figure ill double lift it eventally and i dont feel like pouring out 1500 on a superlift right now. ive put a suspension lift on my last truck but i figure ill give the body lift a chance. a buddy of mine put one on his F150 and it looks good

People stop crying about B/L's He didnt ask for opinions, He said that was what he would get. Some people have this extreme phobia about body lifts. Other don't, so get over it.


Awesome looking FX4 man. Hopefully my next truck will be as beautiful.

As the owner of a 99 ranger that HAD torsion bars on it. I thought the torsion keys were going to be a good idea, but after buying the keys I discovered that I could use the stock keys and get just as much lift out of them. I dont know what you think is wrong with a body lift but I have had one on my truck for about 2 years with no problems and it doesnt have ANY adverse affects on the ball joints, CV axles, ect. I am not start anything but some folks need to know what they are talking about BEFORE they speak. :icon_cheers:

By the way you have a VERY nice truck and bike!!
