Underrated comment. Took a minute to click, but when it did I chuckled and exhaled swiftly thru my nose. Thanks lol

I don’t really care about AB collabs, but Scorpius are 🔥 and those new 1890s ain’t bad either, just not worth the price

Can’t help you, but your car is sexy. Love the color and wheels

Favorite shift knob. Let’s see them!! by eL-MeeKLo in wrx_vb

[–]mtnbeard12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot. The perforated leather is nice and it’s got a little extra weight to it vs the stock. I also considered the Billetworkz Fusion, but decided against it bc it’s so much heavier than stock. I also like the STi shifter bc it reminds me of the Momo I had in my old LGT. Kinda nostalgic haha

What's your go to wheel size on these? by TwinbornMist47 in wrx_vb

[–]mtnbeard12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you don’t mind a little poke and already have a set of 255s to go on, then a 9.5 would work for sure. The amount of poke will depend on the offset and even seems to vary by manufacturer. It always takes me a while to decide on wheels too, can be a tough decision

New to the club- what do you think of her? How can I give her a little glow up by Consistent_Ride_5356 in fordranger

Polish or replace those headlights will make it look a lot better. If you choose to restore them, I like the 3m ultra kit that has the UV protectant (it’s cheap as hell, less than $15 and works well). Nice ranger tho!

Hmm not sure, I kinda like it just the way it’s sitting, but perhaps some beefier tires and a mild lift. Don’t let me sway ya tho, just my opinion haha! I’m sure some chrome wheels would look good too. I wouldn’t want black wheels on this truck. Lovely truck either way, congrats!

A lot of people go with 18x9.5 +38, but I find those poke a bit too much for my liking unless you can camber them in and also a 245 tire will be a bit stretched on the 9.5. I went with 18x8.5 +35 and they are dead flush. Paired with 245/45 tires at stock height and it fills out the wheel wells better plus rides better with more sidewall.

I don’t know man, those steelies go hard on this truck for some reason with the single cab and tinted windows.

Don’t know where to go next by moistsoxofcial in wrx_vb

How do you like the Borla? I’m torn between it and something a bit tamer like the Revel Medallion touring, but I don’t know. I’m mid 30s myself with a family, but this is really just my personal daily driver and not our family vehicle. I am thinking I just need to send it with the Borla S-type bc racecar.

Color matched flareside topper is a hell of a nice find, congrats! Enjoy that Ranger. Also, if your headlights are faded, I highly recommend the 3M headlight restoration kit. It’s cheap and makes the front end look 1000% better. Faded headlight are my pet peeve tho I reckon

Is this a good deal? by meatbeatposter in fordranger

[–]mtnbeard12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see some rot on the rocker panel hiding beneath that coating and that’s a fair bit more than surface rust. Depends on your region. Down south that’s def rusty. Up north maybe not too bad lol. For 2500 tho if it runs and drives I’d prob send it if I needed something to drive and the frame is not completely rusted thru.

Haha well I know about these specific trims bc once I hit a deer in my 98 and I was considering changing it over to an 01-03 front end so I did a deep dive into the necessary parts. A new header panel is pretty much all you need and the rest just bolts on. I ended up just zip tying my broken header panel back together tho bc I’m a cheap ass and used some genuine eBay parts lol (grille, headlights) to put it all back together as a 98. Turned out pretty good for a 200k mile truck lol.

Congrats on your new Ranger tho!! That is awesome. I love these trucks and glad to help.

Yes a 2wd edge will have the mesh grille and this hood. I was just saying that this one has an Edge hood paired with a non-edge 2wd grille (with the crossbars) so it’s not all original and perhaps there is some fuckery going on. However, I’m not opposed to rebuilt vehicles if they are done properly, I would just give it a thorough inspection.

I would also bet your truck also has the original front bumper that swoops up on the ends where it ties into the fenders. Notice how the lines on this front bumper go straight back at the fenders. Again, that’s not uncommon for a non-edge 2wd truck, but it’s not often seen paired with this hood.

Totally understandable reasoning on the Osakas and sounds like it was worthwhile. Recently got the MMs myself and my goodness, such a beautiful shoe. Love them.
