Everyone has to have something done to their truck or vehicle that no one has, or just a few have.

It could be anything that others identify you by. Such as your exhaust tone, a particular feature, some one off feature, or perhaps your truck; like mine, is just an oddity in itself to look at for most (?).

What do you have, and why or what made you perform it...?

the sound of my truck. it has dual exhaust with a flowmaster like many of us have done to our trucks. but i dont know why but for some reason weather it be the way the pipes are bent size of pipes or the way i drive it. whatever it is my truck has a sound of its own that is unmistakable

I added a cab visor to mine that I almost never see on a Ranger, I usually see them more on full size pick ups.

My truck likes to play jeep, so I guess that's kinda unique for a ranger.








One time, while I was away at school, my old man drove it for a week when his truck was down. I got like 5 calls and a dozen texts saying someone was driving my truck.  Haha.   So, I guess the old turd is kinda recognizable.

Mine has OEM parking assist. Don't know of anyone else that has that on their Ranger. If you look at the rear bumper, you will see the 4 sensors. One of my favorite mods. :)

For me i believe it to be that I'm one of the only few that slides it like i do . On top of that rocking a 96 5.0 fuel injected with a t5 behind it with no cares . I'm the only truck at the drift events . Maybe the ugly duckling, But i embrace it ... and maybe the flatbed lol ...it is what it is

@Mike: your truck is definitely unique! It has a cool factor all its own. When I think of drifting, I DON'T think of trucks, for sure. If I tried to drift mine, I would be doing the roll routine. :)

If you have a Gmail account, you'll have access to creating a Youtube channel under it. If you setup the Youtube channel. You can upload any and all videos under your name and maybe create additional cult following and maybe get some real exposure and even sponsorships.. always a chance

You get as far as the above and we can walk you through the rest.

My custom gauge cluster, Very few have taken theirs to the level that I have.


I also am swapping an OEM black interior and all the factory power options along with factory wiring, most people paint their parts black and make new wiring harnesses.

Love that cluster! My white face Expo Sport will have to do for me. I am on vacation until the 2nd of January, so I am planning to recolor mine sometime before I go back to work.

WHY?! Does everyone like the blue lights on everything?

Just asking because for me it really wreaks havoc on my eyes and its because the blue lighting ISN'T good for you.

Blue light, which is part of the visible light spectrum, reaches deeper into the eye and its cumulative effect can cause damage to the retina. Furthermore, in certain wavelengths, blue light is implicated in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
What are the effects of blue light?
Blue light from digital devices creates visual “noise” which reduces contrast and can cause digital eye strain. Nearly 70 percent of adults who regularly use media devices report experiencing some symptoms of digital eyestrain! But very few do anything to avoid or relieve symptoms.
Symptoms can include: tired eyes, shoulder pain, headache, fatigue, eye irritation and pain, blurred or double vision, light sensitivity, tearing, dry eyes and trouble focusing.

https://hws.wsu.edu/2016/06/10/blue-light-harmful-eyes/


Further researching will show some benefits to blue light too, but only in the sense and effect OF "visibility".. short of that you may as well be sitting 2 feet in front of a TV 12 hrs a night/day.

I'd almost be willing to bet all of my computer literate or border nerds all wear glasses and have many of the symptoms above, just dont know what possibly may have been a contributor to them. You young bucks will be too stubborn to admit or recognize the issues.. until the effects become more permanent or disabling.

I know for me my vision use to be perfect but with all my years, i've developed near-sightedness (sp?), everything up close is like HD but if I am driving at night, street signs elude clarity unless I'm within 45-50 ft and my headlights are on them.

just a thought

Haven't seen any pics of an all white Ranger cluster, but it looked pretty good in a Mazda 6 rental I had a couple of years ago.
