Re: Project: DANGER Ranger!!!

So..... a little update.

Tried to find a nice little civic, got 2 lemons so I said screw that headache.

Did the good ol' cardboard/winter mod to the ranger and it's doing a lot better, my financial plans will have me owning the ranger for about 2-3 more years at least so as with all my cars I will do a little something to it.

The list is:
-Tint (walmart +me = hopefully a win) - right now its like being in a fish tank its weird.

-Get rid of clutch fan and get an electric fan, not only will this help with MPG, but also heating up faster and maintaining a constant running temp.

-Intake, this is just something to make since i do have a welder.
-Seats, the seats in that thing are pretty worn out and if you are a hunchback they would be awesome, right now I have some $15 walmart lumbar support thing that seems to do the trick, but if a cheap option presents itself I will snatch it up.

-Get rid of the cat, this helps with the low end torque (owner feedback). I'm not sure about this one depends how much of a pain it will be.

-stereo, one of the speakers are blown, it doesn't have any rear speakers or speaker covers right now. I think I will just get some for the doors and leave the rears out, I think after I get the tint done I might consider a HU upgrade (one out of the talon)

Oh, and I guess I will be back with pics of the interior because I didnt get a good pic of the woodgrain!!

Re: Project: DANGER Ranger!!!

my 2c:

get a really nice set of electric fans. I cheaped out at first on my jeep when I eliminated the Stock clutch fan, and the cheapies couldn't keep the car cool enough in stop/go traffic or at a dead stop. Get a quality adjustable thermostat fan controller.

Re: Project: DANGER Ranger!!!

^Thanks for that.

I already put on the electric fan and adjustable setup and the truck will run a lot hotter on longer drives, 45min+.

The truck feels a lot better, it doesn't feel heavy and lazy like it used to. But I will need to get a better fan for it I think.

I also got the windows tinted 35% all around, I forgot it was a truck and I could of done darker in the back, but for $100 oh well.
I also put in some nice, well they were nice polk audio speakers. I put a hole in each of them, which hasn't harmed the sound quality that I can hear, but well they will be forever beater car speakers.
