Did a bit more fiddling in Illustrator last night. Now I’m thinking on top of getting some black steelies, I should also paint the letters on my tires white.

After seeing that I’m now thinking thats it... Thats where I want my truck to be visually. I’m not sure I wanna go crazier than that. I think thats the most menacing I can make her look without stripping her of her elegance.

So here’s a visualization of the proposed transformation of my truck, including what has already been done and how it was originally:

PS: My local U pull it sells steel wheels for 15 bucks a piece. If I grab 3 full size spares off of other Rangers, use my black steel full size spare as a 4th, and one of my aluminum deer hoofs as a full size spare, then I can have steelies for 45 bucks out the door, plus discount tire mounts tires for 11 bucks a wheel so thats $78 bucks total. I also have a discount tire warranty so they may even mount and balance them for free. I’ll have to deal with their stupidity again, but at least I know what I’m getting into this time and can correct their mistakes immediately instead of finding them later on.

Try taking off the hood deflector, and putting on clear corner lenses. That would look fantastic.

Elegance? Menacing?

You do know that's a Ford Ranger, right?

Yes, black steelies and white letters rules!

Bruh. It's a teal 90s ranger... it's never going to be menacing unless you swap in a v8, paint it black, sell it, and buy a more menacing.

Not steelies, but still black with white letters.

All trucks and truck-based SUVs should have white lettered tires.

Also, here's a cheap mod: take that damn bug deflector off. It made my Safari look a million times better and I bet it will make the Ranger look better too.

Yep, '02 FX4. Had a '97 as well. Agree on the bug deflector, my '97 had one and it looked terrible without it.

Lafayette. I had just finished painting the last of the wheels and drove into a construction site to get a better background.

Fair enough. To each their own!
