My 2011 Ranger XLT

[axbottolf]

Got the truck washed today and finally got some pictures taken. Its a 2011 Ranger XLT 4x4 4 door 4.0 5 speed manual. Bought it new and have just over 8k miles on it now. Basically stock except the grill guard, tube steps, bed caps, and toolbox.

Upgrades to come:
15x8 MT Classic II's
31x10.5R15 Duratracs
Gibson exhuast system
K&N Intake
Window tint
Other ideas?? I'm open to suggestions

Me likey. New wheels and tint will make all the difference and look even better. Before tint though, if you can find a sliding rear window those are nice to have. Other than that I would leave it just how it is. Then maybe in a few years after its warranty is up and fully paid off do like a 3 inch lift.

nice. maybe take the steps off to make it look a bit taller. You'd be surprised how much taller they look without them. Also, I feel like they rust our rather quickly, at least my Westins did. Either way, awesome truck and welcome to TRS!

Very nice, i would also agree on the tinted rear windows atleast, makes the truck look awesome.

I didn't really wanna the steps on but I got talked into it. Now i wish woulda never bought them. They are westins as well. Only been on the truck since june of last year and they already starting to rust on the back side where the paint comes off from gravel.

well if you really don't want them, its probably not a bad idea to unbolt them, scrape the rust off, repaint them, and sell them. easy money. that's what I would do

you can remove the 4x4 stickers, i did on mine, makes it a cleaner look. nice truck.

Removing the steps would make the brush guard look funny. Steps compliment brush guards very nicely. Keep em on!

Crank the torsion bars and put some black wheels on there with 31s of your choice

Why does everybody say to crank your t-bars? I do not understand that. The truck rides rougher and it wears them out quicker as well.

Free lift, fast, and easy.

tint it, pull the steps and bull bar, body lift it and grab some 32 or 33's. thats a good looking truck.

If it's 2wd then you have less stuff to worry about wearing out, but I guess this isn't the case

Deppends on how much u crank them I leveled my truck out and barley cranked them

 

[03ranger30]

That's all I plan on doing, just getting like 2 inches of lift so I can level the front with the back.
