just another static truck in the making

What ever tails you decide to get there gonna look way better than the ones your got on now. I like 2011 ones alot but that's just me.

ya, i think i've decided i'm gonna go with the 2011 tails unless i can get a damn good deal on 2005 tails

I like that new shifter lol. I previously had a Molson Dry handle for bar's draft beer as a shifter.. It was looking nice until I did one hell of a powershift to 3rd gear and it decided to explose into my hands.. lol

Bough my 2006+ tails brand new at local autoparts and they were around 65$ each I think(but I'm in canada so everything is more $$) I've also bought one for my old 97 b2300 and it was the same price, so I guess there isn't gonna be much difference between the 2005 and 2006 lights...
Like way2fast said any lights will look better than your current ones lol.

i understand that theres great danger running lowbacks in a regular cab, but screw it, if i fuck up and bust my own back glass, i'll just replace it. if somebody rear ends me and i bust my back glass with my head that person has fucked up horribly cause their getting me a new car

^^^This is not rly a great way of thinking.. I got rear ended with my b2300 and the way the OEM seats were made is that headrest were good for people up to 5'5'', over that the head can hit the backglass .. Had my sis with me in the truck when it hapenned and she smashed her head into the backglass, luckily enought the guy bounced me at only 20km/h or so while I was at a stop, she had almost nothing but she felt it for a day or two.

Imagine getting rear ended at 40-60 kmh and even more.. Backglass is worth 40$, does your head and life worth less then this?? What if it's your GF that smashes her head?

Just put the lincoln headrests back on, unless you drive the truck with a fullface which I doubt.

i know it's a bad way to look at it but i **** the way these seats look with headrests and i know it's stupid to continue on with out headrests but fuck it... that's all i can say is fuck it. and i don't drive crazy when somebody is with me anyway that in itself is a bad idea.

[beluga420]

Yeah but you never know whenever an asshole is going to rear end you, they're everywhere. Your choice !

[Belvader]

ya, i understand that its a bad idea but just for now it's staying like this. and to everybody who likes this build, check out http://turborangerforums.com/showthr...?t=3302&page=1 it's beluga420's build..... it was GREAT!

Do yourself a favor:

-Stop posting pictures of your truck if almost nothing has changed
-Make up your mind and do something about your tail lights
-Stop asking so many opinions
-Stop saying "sorry for the shitty pictures". If you know they are bad, try harder to take good pictures and hold the camera still.

Your truck has some potential, just clean it up and stop doing cheapie things just to do them. A stock Ranger grill, some 2011 tail lights, and badge removal would look so good on your truck at it's current height.

thanks man, and i know i should make up my mind on the plan ( which i have now) but before i just had tons of different ideas running through my head. about the shitty pics most all of the pictures i take are with my phone and they don't look half bad on my phone but when there enlargened on the computer to make it a reasonable size it turns out shakey. and i personally like my billet grille, i've always liked the way they look but i am currently looking for some tails. and i'm getting wheels within the next couple weeks and when i get nice wheels on my truck i will drop it back down with the lowering blocks and cut coils up front. so i am making progress on my truck it's just slow as hell because i'm only 15 and i dont have time for a full time job, so i just take fairly nice photos of my truck just to keep something going on this build.

[Belvader]

i know i only gt one wheel spinning but u can tell where i hit second and it kept spinning so i'm happy with it

got some cheap ass used tires that will flex well to stretch them to fit on the cragars just for the hell of it

oh my.....
