2011 Ford ranger buildup

[K.Strong]

I'd make the bumper. I noticed the same thing with my brakes after I put on the 31s

Snow!

!!!STICKER!!!!

And MORE SNOW!!!

LoL

 

[kurama49]

hmm, is there a way to disable the traction control and stability control?... excluding the button. Because theres been a few times where say I'm trying to get onto the highway, the snow has drifted over a bit, and when i hit it the truck starts to slide a bit, so i counter steer, and I'm about to slide in neatly without over sliding, but then the stability control locks up the front tire to the inside of that turn and causes the truck to over steer and almost spin out... Plus the tcs is ANNOYING when I'm trying to drive home in deep snow... it just bogs the truck down, and i have no power at all, while everyone else in civics and such are passing by easily.. x.x I heard theres a fuse you can pull?

Story of my life when I had my ranger! I actually got stuck on a hill because of it. There is a fuse you can pull, I never got around to it though. Should be labeled in the owners manual though.

I'm actually REALLY considering getting rid of it now... every DAY theres something weird with it. past few days my clutch has been frozen solid, aswell as not wanting to start at all, and when it does it'll just sputter a tiny bit then die... and finally when it DOES start it missfires, brakes are still weird its just so aggravating! My old ranger never did any of this, nor did the pathfinder [which i had actually sunk up to the hood in a river] or the cherokee i had, or my chevy... the reason for getting a new ranger was to not have ANY problems plus warranty wont do jack all for me, there a bunch of idiots in there. "Oh, your big ugly tires are too big, thats why it wont stop because they're so MASSIVE." they go on like i have 44"s on my truck ffs...

Holycrap!, a update!

Well, Not much to really say that's been done to the truck lately, Doing a oil change Tuesday , using Royal purple 5w-30 and a K&N filter since it has the convinent little bolt on the end of it. [New rangers have a MASSIVE oil filter that you cant get a oil filter wrench over ]

And tomorrow, I'll probably be tinting my taillights and maybe turn signals, as-well as putting on a black pin-stripe where that body indent is going down the side.

Also might be trading my rims for black Cragar D-windows... Since my rims holes are ovaled out because of people at school not caring when they put my wheels back on.. plus they feel weak... So, I say the black of the D-windows will go good with the whole White/black scheme anyways. But yea, thought I'd give you guys a update.

.... I really miss my old 2001 ... Sniper ...

You should also do the BHLM.

What does BHLM mean?

And with the plasti-dip I ready somewhere it has to be like really hot out to use it? So I guess wait until summer to plasti dip

Black headlight mod. Take it apart and paint the inside black.

Its supposed to be +15 tomorrow so I'm gonna try the plastidip again.

Ah, is there a tutorial on how to do that? I also added mudflaps to the front recently to try and help my paint from my rock throwing tires. I'll post up some pictures tomorrow mabey.

[kurama49]

Holycrap a update! Got a roll-bar, and lights, aswell as some black pinstripes!




Also my new mudflaps

And someone asked for a pic of my dual exhaust setup like last year, which I never got around to taking a picture of until now [Sorry! :C ]

[K.Strong]

Awesome pictures man! I really miss that drive.

Well, I was out exploring the beach last night, and got another booboo xC I hit a mudhole that didnt look deep but ended up swallowing the whole front end of the truck, and with the rocking to get it out i ended up tearing off the black peice of my front bumper DX no damage done to it, just unclipped from the white peice... I'll post pics in a bit
