Just signed up. I've read stuff on here a few times, the tech files are real helpful. Lots of good info.

I've got a 1989 Ranger, 2wd, 2.3L, 5 Speed manual, base model. I've done a few little things to it. I painted the grille, headlight bezels, front and rear bumper, and rims gloss black. Looks way better than the faded gray they were. Tinted the tail lights, installed a radio system (base model, no radio from the factory), clarion CD/MP3 player, 2 cerwin vega speakers in the doors (was stuff i already had laying around the house) and an auto zone antenna. I also put seats from an 04 (or close to it) ranger. Its a split bench with a center console. Also have the shift boot from a 96ish truck, the one with cup holders. Also i put 20% tint all around. I bought it to get good gas mileage and to keep my nicer truck clean going to and from work. I only paid $350 for this little guy too. :headbang:

MIB called. They wany their truck back.

Nice little Ranger bro! Welcopme to TRS! We're kind of like Earth: Mostly Harmless. (See Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for more.)
 
Haha, i plan on blacking out the corner lights too, and the ford emblem on the grill. I like the look, its cheap to do, and it looks alot better than the faded gray crap that was on it. Easy to keep clean too. Like they say, once you go black, you'll never polish chrome again.

I'm gonna have to watch that movie to have any clue what yer talkin about lol.

BTW, i just got done putting a cherry bomb glass pack on it. Made it a bit louder but still pretty quiet. I wanted a straight through muffler for gas mileage. I'm happy with the sound so far. We'll see what it does for the mileage.
