265/75R16 Cooper Discoverer STT
They measure about 32X10.50
Tell me what ya think. I still have to put an add-a-leaf in the rear to get it leveled the way i want it. Thinking about putting some smoked recon roof lights on it yet. I noticed there isn't a write up on the best way to install these yet. Any suggestions?

looks really good man!!

those lights...explain lol

 

[BlackRanger06]

Thanks.

In the tech library there is not a section about installing roof lights on a ranger. Just wondering if anyone here has done it and how difficult it was.

Looks BA man! Me likey!!

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

ohh ive seen some rangers with those, they seem cool, but idk it depeds on the owners taste and if ur really into drill holes on your roof.

Nice truck!! Those tires look more like 31's to me. Jack up that truck....lol

Looks great! I really like the look of your truck. Is the exhaust custom?

 

[BlackRanger06]

yeah the exhaust is custom. used a flowmaster muffler and tips. sounds pretty good too. its loud when i get after it. I just ordered superlift shocks and a pro comp long add-a-leaf last night. cant wait to get it so i can raise the rear end a little.

how is the noise with those tires? My buddy had some on his Chevy and they howled like banshees. I never knew whether it was the tires themselves or if they had just worn funny due to a bad balance or alignment.

I have lights on a rollbar, I hate them... they keep getting snagged on crap and either aiming up at the sky or at the truck roof.

My rollbar had two tabs, so I took a hunk of angle iron and drilled holes in the right places and put four lights aimed ahead and welded two tabs on the back for two worklights.

When I take the lights off the bar I am going to dissassemble my rollbar and reassemble it with the tabs going down with just the two worklights (since I don't have a cargo light)

You can barely hear them. I think the tires are pretty quiet and i drive a lot of highway. I have a buddy who has a couple ford one tons and usually runs a bfg mt and they howl, but he just ordered some 35 STTs, just hasnt put them on yet. I will post back and let ya know if his howl any more than mine do. Overall, I was quite supprised by how quiet these were compared to my buddies truck.

In reply to the roof lights. I dont mean a light bar. I mean marker roof lights, like full size trucks come with. Anybody know how hard it is to install these? I was thinking the smoked recon roof lights would be pretty cool.

Nice looking tires. How much did they set you back? And as for marker lights, don't do it. Just my opinion.

 

[disciplerocks]

I just ordered me some tires and those were in the showroom. They looked really good. Now go find somewhere to get them dirty.

The tires were on sale at fleet farm this past week. originally 206 a piece, but i paid 580 after taxes.
