    Another Newbie! OH NO!

    I am a member of a forum for the Suzuki M109R. A fellow there referred me here. I have been viewing and posting at The Ranger Station for quite some time. I own a 1998 3.0 Sport with the automatic trans. I have done numerous mods to it since I aquired it in Jan 2002.
    I am going to attempt to post some pics the way it works on most sites. Here goes nothing.









    Well, I have more, but that is the jist of it. A custom made cat back dual exhaust exiting in front of the right wheel, MAC intake kit, Clear tails, corners and 3rd brake light, Lakewood traction bars, oversize front and rear anti-sway bars in urethane bushings, Jacobs ignition and wires, Jet chip on ECM, Lund hood scoop, louvers and tailgate spoiler, and some others I have forgotten about.
    What do you all think?

    PS Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, 255/60-15 back and 205/70-15 front on 8.0 rims in back and 7.0 rims front.

    Well, let me tell you. With the intake, exhaust, ignition mods, and chip on the computer, the answer is no, it does not have any trouble turning them.
    In fact, it is the reason I put the Lakewood traction bars on the thing in the first place. Got tired of them spinning everytime I dropped the hammer at a light.
    Lakewood makes a set of bars especially for rangers.
    Don't know if anyone here knew that?

    Hey cbxer55 That is the Lund "Backdraft" tailgate spoiler??? It's specifically for the Ranger? Do you know the part number? That is sweet and was going to be the "finishing touch" to my 07 STX! Though I have the Mazda bed I'm pretty sure the tailgates are the same?

    And by the way, welcome to the fourm!!!

    Here is a link to Stylin Concepts website for the Lund Backdraft Tailgate Spoiler. I put it here for the 93 to -4 Ranger.
    Like you said the Mazda should be exactly the same.

    Welcome to the site! The truck looks cool. I was thinking about having my exhaust routed like yours. Have you ever had any problems with it doing anything "funny" to your tire? Or eating the clearcoat off of your wheel? I know the 97 F-150's had exhaust like that, and there was a recall becasue of that. But lightning's have the same setup.
