So I bought a 96 Ranger XL 2wd 2.3l auto with 3.73 gears. Just replaced the timing belt and got her running....doing quick oil change... but

am looking for quick and cheap mods to do to help sell this puppy...

already did..
-shackle/hanger flip 0/2 drop ( still a lil racked, so not cutting coils)
-painted grill/valance/bumpers


maybe add some Xenon light and add the Home Depot grill mod???

Anything else? (p.s., adding cobra rims arn't cheap, dont bother lol)

ditch the pinstripe and mupflaps, looks like somethings up with the fitment of the grille and trim piece, clean the interior real well, a deck, etc.

do little things any buyer would appreciate.

Edit: look up "throttle cable zip tie mod" thats one i would definately do
 
lol sorry, front end pic is with only 1 screw holding it in the grill... and def pulling the pinstripes off....there basically falling off anyways.. lol

should i paint the stock rims black and take those lug covers off??
 
anymore tricks for mods anyone knows??? lol
 
Yes, pull the hub caps off at the very least. And painting the wheels black with spray paint wouldn't be too expensive but would be a bit time consuming; I think it would look good.

u should leave the bumper valance black.
and if u want a bit more go stuff remove the intake silencer. and +1 on the grille mod
 
Just remembered I have one of those ebay intakes i'm never gonna use, and a pioneeer 10 disc changer...pm if interested in either

How much of a difference did you notice once you did the zip tie mod? I was really suprised at the gain in response, and really hitting WOT.
 
lol did the Zipties on both Rangers...noticed it as soon as i touched it ;) lol wik'd cool! lol

Your intake is for the 4.0?, and i dont wanna dump too much $$$ into this..
