 For some reason I really like this one, if it ends up in my driveway the wheels are for sale. Not my style.

I'll still go black with the rims but a little more rubber.

 I still kinda want to DD it, if I go stroker then I'll be putting a cage in and 4 link... get a trailer and take it to milan on the weekends.. probably not a stroker. I do want to be able to pass about anything efficiently.

 A steppie?  For you, Jim?  I think the world is coming to an end! LOL  Nice truck, though.  Good call on the wheel delete, they don't look right on that truck at all.

 Some would disagree with us, but evidently we "see" the same thing.

If it is going to be fast and not a hauler... steppy is cool AND it weighs less.

I do too, if my Ranger did not have the fender flares when I replaced the bed I would have looked for a steppie bed.

 I love my steppie... I think putting the step side on was the best mod I've done to my truck

 @Adam: Speaking of that, I didn't know your truck WAS a steppie until you posted a pic in the ROTM thread.  I saw it and thought; "he has a 2006 truck, which didn't come with a flare side bed from the factory. Oh, he MODDED his truck!"  LOL  It is not readily apparent in your avatar pic.

 It was such a stock looking job, the time he came to my work after he had just switched it I didn't even notice he had changed it. The frame underneath is replaced also from cab back for those not following the black06xlt saga.

I hear season 14 is just around the corner.

Correct you are James. Black interior conversion. And possibly a dana 35 swap. But black interior for sure. Just have to find new seats

 I luv the short bed steppie, if no one knew, BUT that Extended Cab would ride better.
The Wheels... I don't understand the long thin spokes look... being old school, I think the Old style slotted wheels, black, looks good on a Ranger.
