I'm 19, was given my recently passed grandfathers 2007 ranger. It's become my favorite car by far and I want to fully restore everything about it and mod it
Just got myself a ranger, very excited thanks for the vid!
Good to hear! Welcome to the crew.
Just got me one too haha
Awesome man I love mine. Did yours have the airbag recall completed? I would double check if unsure. The front ones can grenade.
Just got mine yesterday! 2003 4.0 with 90k miles
@@samdoesit9542 Check for the air bag recall. Congrats
I'm 14, and I'm saving for a ranger. I'm that kinda of person who has their heart set on everything they want and I already have the list of mods I wanna do to my ranger. I'm not saying everything but I definitely want to throw a fresh layer of undercoat on it and hopefully put in a star light headliner, simply because it looks amazing and I love projects. Love the video brother 🤟🏻. Edit: Went to a dealership to look at a gorgeous Ranger. Saw a Tacoma, and fell in love. End of story😂💀
im 15 and i just got a mazda b4000 (same as the ranger 4.0) and im also looking for cheap mods 😹
Got an 85 ranger and I can't afford anything to expensive
@@owenblunt4670 pretty much all 5 lug wheels look ugly to me so im probably gonna get a 6 lug conversion for it and throw on some newer chevrolet truck stocks for cheap 🤷♂️
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
Dude same I am also 14 I was lucky enough to get my Grandpa's 2004 Ford Ranger when he passed away I love that car with my heart and soul
Just got a 96 Ford Ranger XLT. Super stoked to just juice it out
Thank you for the motivation man
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
Btw dual makes double din touchscreen, Bluetooth, sd card, aux, 2 channel aux plugs for like $85 at Walmart and I tell you it's worth it even works with backup camera
Link to that ?
How would it know when it’s in reverse?
@@isaiahfitzgerald1713 you tap a reverse light to a wire that goes to the head unit. When the reverse light gets power the head unit will get that power and turn on the backup camera
I love the look of the wheels. Keep up the good work I enjoy your videos
Thank you for watching. Hoping to keep making videos for yall to enjoy!
I miss this guys videos, I remember watching these when I was about 16-17, then I sold my first ranger before I went into the marines, now I’m in the fleet with the same deal I had when I was 16-17 I need another truck.
First off, thank you for your service. Second off, I'm still breathing and I am making a comeback. Thanks for sticking around my dude. Be safe out there.
Absolutely amazing
You deserve so many more subscribers and people need to see your amazing content
Good work man 👍
I got a 1991 Ranger
Great truck to own and work on
Wow, I appreciate your kindness. Im sorry I havent had a video out lately, I am in the process of moving. Hoping to get something out next week.
They are great trucks to work on for sure.
@@DoinitwithDoug hey I’d like to ask if I could shout you out in one of my next videos
Your content needs to be seen and I’d love to let everyone know who you are
That would be amazing! I appreciate your support!!! Thank you so much!
I replaced my injectors from a 3 hole to 4 hole, grabbed up a 4.0 throttle body from a junk yard doner iac valve and all that,made a gasket out of rtv and a pop can so it would fit right got double platinum ngk plugs, high performance plug wires, I replaced the coil pack box, cold air intake with a home made box to surround the filter, use Lucas every oil change, and soaked my valve covers and my rockers, springs, rods, lifters, etc with lubricant and some seafoam new O2 sensors and deleted the muffler. Still have to tune the ECU for more air and fuel because I'm getting a rich code but she rips down the road like new 338k miles on her! Gotta love a ranger
Under $100 :
- $40 K&N replacement air filter. They a warranted for a million miles. Just clean them at least every 50K. The stores are often out of the stock filters.
- $90 Ford keyless entry pad. Stick it inside the fuel cap door so the carwash wont rip it off. Use it when your keys are locked inside or you when don't have your keys.
- $3 Stick on blind spot mirror.
- $15 USB plug. Replace one of the cigar lighters with a USB charger.
Careful of KN filter oil destroys the Mass air flow. Oil only the outside. Throttlebody cable mod fix cost 0
I actually have a ranger, 2005.
It’s my first truck and I can already tell I’m going to love it, thank you for the video!
What size engine? 4 banger or V6?
Thank you for being a viewer.
@@shanewestphal79864.0 v6 Is power
Not sure if you did or not, but you should replace the headlight housing for ones that are built for LEDs. Otherwise you may be blinding others on the road, and not getting the best targeted light possible since it won't scatter correctly. It helps just as much, or even more than the bulbs themselves. Otherwise good video
Dope! Thanks for the links brotha
This was neat. Thank you Doug.
You're welcome, thank you for being here and watching.
dude i love your videos man!
You're the man Thomas! Thanks for being here man.
Radio technique when the truck starts making noise always works! Funny stuff!!!🤣
Keep it going man!!
You had me with that wiper commercial! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Totally getting wipers now! 😂😂😂 love the videos man! Keep em coming, by the way your truck is clean as F
@@Jctactics Hahahahah. Kinda a safety hazard not to have them at all lmao. I'm glad you liked it my man. Thanks buddy. I appreciate all the good vibes.
Absolute Legend love you Doug
Much love!
Perfect suggestions! I actually have the same FM transmitter 😁. Good knowledge on the lift too. I have a two inch on keys. If you go more than that, it's squirrelly. Don't forget about the camber adjusters too though. Tires are expensive!
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
Does the FM transmitter play the phone sounds through the truck speakers?
I love my 2011 Ranger. Best truck I have ever had.
LED Lights, good wipers, bug deflector, window deflectors, rainx washer fluid, anything that helps with driving in nasty weather is standard procedure here in the Northeast.
For sure. Im from Michigan so I get it.
Excuse me I have the 2wd, 5spd manual sport model, will the wiper blades and floor mats still work with this trim level?
Hey man i saw those seats i was wondering if you could tell me what you got them off lf because i love power seats and is it hard to get power to them
Great video! I love the wheels and I’m trying to find where to find a decent pair. Where did you get yours
I would recommend this setup, the links for the wheels and tires are in my "How BIG OF TIRES can you fit with NO LIFT" video. Thanks for watching.
amzn.to/3Xzr9ve Here is the link.
bro I love your truck looks cool
just got a 2011 ford ranger today very excited !!
Buddy played crazy for you by heart. That’s awesome
Dude, loved your video 👍. I own a 2003 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 I bought brand new 21 years ago this April. I've done several mods to it lift, 35" tires gas shocks about 10 grand in stereo dyna matted the entire cab. Undercoated the truck and put duel exhaust and headers. The truck is super clean in excellent condition cause it's kept in the garage but I use it in the snow and mud here in central Oregon. It's been a great truck I've enjoyed all these years. No plans on ever selling it👍. Thanks for the video, always love seeing what people are doing with the Rangers 👍
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching them!
Thanks Doug glad to be doin it with ya
I remember my first car mod... Windshield wipers!
HAHA! :)
Just got me one. I really like it.
now thats a beautiful drive
Subbed great vid
Dearest Doug, I don't comment much at all (this may be my 5th comment ever) which to me means a whole hell of a lot. Thank you so very much for this video, your style is exactly what I love, don't ever change! Pretty good suggestion for my Ford Freakin' Ranger, but the major in which you delivered it is what made this video the best when compared to other Ford Freakin' Ranger videos.
Thank you for who you are and good luck with everything you do!
Wow, thank you my man. Its been awhile since I have posted because life got in the way, but look out because I am about to get back into the game. Thank you for your kind words.
what brand rack do you have on top of the cap? I've been looking for months for a decent set and they seem to be impossible to find here in Canada under 700 bucks
They are just some generic kayak racks. They are dilled through the topper will silicon to prevent leaks.
Just got an 02 Ranger edge 4.0 with 131k a couple days ago.. First truck I've owned. Looking forward to a few mods
I just got an 02 ranger xlt and exactly with 131k miles as well… It’s my first truck, and I’m excited for it!!
I inherited an 02 XLT ranger from my dad and the fact that I even have the same FM transmitter made me think you were filming my car lol
Yo this beat is sick
Just bought my first car less than a week ago. 2001 ford ranger and she’s beautiful and I’m in love with it.
My first was a 2001 Ranger as well, forest green. Enjoy bud!
Im in high school working towards finishing up my driver's license, would you recommend the automatic or manual version of the Ranger as a first car? I've driven only automatics but im worried I'll miss out on driving a stick, but maybe not. Anyways sick video!
I am excited
Glad you liked it!
This looks very fun
Oh it was lol
Thanks for posting this. What size tires are you running and what’s your gear ratio.
3.73 and here are the tires amzn.to/3j2fGoX
Bro this is some quality content😂 trading my car for a ranger here in a couple days👏 btw where’d you get your camper shell? Looks nice
HAHAHA thank you! sounds like a good plan to me.. I got it with the truck. Its a Century topper. :)
@doinitwithdoug where did you get the camper shell? Or what brand is it? Thank you
It is a centrury topper. It was on the truck when I bought it.
Like it!
i love this dudes personality
Great video though dude. I have a 2007 Ford Ranger XL just put K&N cold air intake, spyder halo headlights, Snugtop camper, and new rubber ducky antenna. Seen some videos of people breaking in their Rangers with stock antennas. Not trying to make it easy for the criminals ya know.
love it
Got a 99 Ford ranger xlt a couple mouths ago and love it
My name is Doug and I also own a Ranger! A 2003 Ranger Edge. And mine is lifted on big tires too! Im curious to know what front Bumper you have on yours.
And a radio and speaker upgrade was the very first "mod" I did to my truck when I bought mine all the way back in 2008.
Intro got me. Subbed
Ayye oh! :)
You look like Josh Allen lol great video 👍
Had some heart cranked aha
Check out my newest video on the channel where I revive an abandoned $125 boat! 👀😏czcams.com/video/aZijFVJWUIQ/video.html
Someone thing I been thinking I have a ford ranger edge it’s a rear drive is there a way to make it 4x4
I would do a solid axle swap and a divorced transfercase. That would probably be the best and easiest way to get it done.
This video made me feel like I should own a Ranger.. :)
You really should 😂
you should thats why
It's a questionable financial investment
There good trucks
@@FordRanger-ih9wq I think they are solid for the money, parts are cheap and plentiful. Only issue is the 4.0's are pigs on gas. I'll take that vs paying 60k for a new truck that's what too big for my needs. I have zero issues with mine other than the stupid traction control system. I wanna just strip it out.
Loved the video, great recommendations. Awesome video quality too :) - I’m on my third ranger now, finally have the V6 4x4 FX4, although it’s automatic this time it’s still an awesome little truck. I wanted to ask, what brand front bumper is that? I’ve been considering making one my self, but with the price of materials now-a-days I can’t seem to justify it as well as i used to. Anyways, thx again, liked - subbed
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
@@Fit4C wtf?
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. Here is the link to the bumper. amzn.to/3Y1LrgL
500th sub 👍
I will always treasure this. lol Thank you!
You Rock!!
Sick parkour in the beginning
LMAO! Thank! I've been working on it.
@@DoinitwithDoug We can tell, what a legend! 👏
Nice video! Just picked one up, where’d you get your camper shell?
It was on it when I bought it.
I got a dual 7 inch radio and it fit literally perfect like couldn’t have been better lol
Have a link?
Yeah bro if you could please provide a linl
Dual radios suck, though. Like they are legit the worst radio you can buy.
Alpine ILX650. Roughly $399 on Amazon. Perfect head unit with car play. Fits into rangers with no mountain harness needed
@@Brad_mcginnis fuck that, the harness is barely an expense vs a good but cheap sigle din radio. Like yeah, it may be cool, but not everyone has 4 large to drop on a radio. I dropped 5 large on my truck for gods sake. Like not to be rude, it may work for you, but a cheap 50-80 buck pioneer/jvc single din is good.
i got me a ranger 2011 but i havent decided if i want to lower it or lift it idk
Both are good options!
Did you do anything to the intirior seats I didn’t know you could get leather with button controls.
They are out of a 2001 explorer
Might be getting a 2001 Ford ranger tomorrow extremely clean and he’s asking 3800. New sub here been watching some of your videos
Dude, awesome deal. Dang, I am putting together a "what to look for when buying a ford ranger" video right now. I'm a little late thought. Sorry. lol Thank you for the sub, hope it goes well for you my friend. Thanks for joining the crew.
@@DoinitwithDoug yessir, I got it now . Detailed it . And now going to be changing every fluid .
Struts for your canopy door are less than $100 ;^)
Thanks for the links! I'll use 'em and hope you get a cut. Keep the "Ford freaking Ranger" content coming. Inspiring, entertaining and informative.
Lmao! I spit out my coffee when I read this! I don't get a cut for those links, but I hope they are useful. :) I will try and keep up the content for you guys, anything you wanna see ? Besides jumping it hahaha. Thanks for watching and inspiring me to do more videos.
@DoinitwithDoug Keep doing it Doug. The mod vids are great. I didn't even know I needed the blu-tooth thingy or a floor mat upgrade. Ordered! I'll get the LED headlights if they'll work on my 99 ranger too though I'm sort of curious how long my originals will last.
Any chance you'll be doing some auxiliary lighting? Rear bumpers on the cheap? Adding recovery points? Mine lacks them in the front and it's 2wd... Only needed them once in 22 years of ownership - knock on wood.
Tempted to put a rack on the top of my canopy (topper) but wonder how much I'd really use it. There have been a few times it would have been nice.
Curious to see what you'll be running with the deep cycle batteries too.
@@SagebrushLongshots Well I'm super glad that it helped you out. Those LEDs should work on your 99 for sure. Same style of plug.
I have some lighting going on the inside of my topper for camping. I'd like to figure out a way to mount a light bar in my grill. Not a huge fan of the way they look. Maybe a rack on the roof of the truck with some round lights would be cool. I like having the rack for putting my bike, kayak, or wood up there. Especially if I'm camping cause I don't want to put all that in the bed. I have some tow mounts on my front off-road bumper, but I would like to make a rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier. That's my next big project I believe.
I'm in the process of moving back to Michigan, so it might be a month before I start getting all the stuff around to do my inverter set up in the bed, but it's coming.
It really means a lot for you to take the time to comment on my video. Thank you.
Canopy struts 40.00 Amazon a pair
I like how he said Bluetooth radio just jammed in there for real on my 2001 Ford ranger😂
You funny as hell man
No you! lol
What is this filmed near crested Butte Colorado
Is there any way that you could find out if the affordable off-road body lift brackets for their bumper will fit on your Amazon rip off bumper. The bumper you have is a better deal but I don't want a 3 in gap between it and my truck.
This bumper mounts like the stock bumper, so if the brackets are for the stock bumper then they should work.
Might be doing a body lift so I could probably test that.
@@DoinitwithDoug the bumper brackets that come with the body lift don't seem sterdy enough for a winch that's why I was looking at the brackets affordable off road sell for their bumpers. Would be great if you could test those
@@brevanhansen5084 Good point. I might check them out. Or I might fab my own.
Great video man but big question where did you get the brush guard I swear their impossible to find.
amzn.to/3Dl1ui2
Best ad I’ve seen haha
Hahaha so glad you enjoyed it.
I have the factory speakers in my ranger and they work good but I'm probably gonna put three 12s in there
That will be nice!
I love doin it with dude
I've heard that a time or two ;)
Just picked up my first ranger yesterday!
Nice! Congrats!
I just picked mine up 3 days ago 2003 Edge 3.0 5 speed rwd :)
Great video bro!! I am looking into getting a 2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 in great condition with only 68,000 miles on it. It only had one owner and I'm curious if buying a 20-year-old car is worth it?
Not all 20 year old cars are worth it, but a ranger is lifestyle and they never go out of style. So I'd say its gonna serve you well for a long time if you decided to buy it.
awesome man. ur lucky u have those tires, i can't get much traction w my h/t tires
They arent snow tires for sure, but still not bad. I actually feel like they are more of an all terrain.
7 inch double din head units fit perfecto in that setup brother.. can even get the head unit removal peg tool at autozone for 5 bucks... id get a dope touchscreen with apple carplay you will absolutely love it!!
Music is my life. So I might have to do that my friend. Thank you for being here.
Can also add a backup cam with many of them
Thank you for the video I just inherited a 1993 four cylinder ranger she’s slower than molasses……so far I have just a full tune up like alll the fluids and plugs and some gaskets….. and installed a super coil kit…..it helped but still really slow yes I know it’s the puppy engine but I know there are some parts that can help benefit it
Did ya keep the coils on the back?
I know this comment is 2 years old, but if you are able to, swap it for a 3.0! Just need a bellhousing and ecu and you’re fully set. Gives you a boost of almost 50 hp and even though that’s not much for an engine swap it’s half of what the 2.3 has
For those who got a no tac 5 speed like me: an autometer tac and wires cost like 60$ on the high end, it makes life so much easier. you can just drywall screw it to the dash if you dont care about being fancy. and OEM gauge cluster with a tac arent too expensive either. its worth it.
All I want is a way to go from the cab to the bed... with a wider opening... any ideas.
LOL I feel ya. Cut a hole? or remove the window and seal up between the cab and the topper.
Don't forget that the cabin of the truck in the cab and the truck bed moves they're not fixed imposition. Therefore there has to be some sort of flexible connection between the cabin and the Pauper in the back
that heel click bro to start the vid got you my "like" just fyi that was a sweet ass move
Thanks brother. Should I start ever video like that?
Thanks 🚘
No problem 👍
Walmart has touch screen units that almost fit but I had to cut a smidge then it fit in perfect.
ive always wanted a Ranger. but a old model. probably a 95-04. also was thinking on making it Dune style, but i rather keep it like yours. since i go often to mountains and camping
The prerunner style is cool but more of a 2wd thing.
do you have a lift kit or a leveling kit and if so how much of a lift?
Nope, just t-bars turned up a little. I have a video of a walkaround for the truck that explains everything done so far. Thanks for watching.
can you tell me the sizes and the brand of your rims please..!
I have a whole walkthrough on my truck giving all those details. Check her out. Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the rims and tires? I am just getting my license and looking at a ranger yours is sick
Here is my exact set up. Tires amzn.to/3j2fGoX and Rims amzn.to/3Xzr9ve Hope that helps!
What lift and wheel size do you have on your Ranger
No lift, just torsion keys. The Wheels are listed in the description with all the specs!
I like your truck I have a same one 98 3.0 on my channel just need the wheels and tires to see same whit this
Thanks man. Wheels are tires can really change the whole look of a truck. Keep turning wrenches my man. Thanks for watching.
Thanks man just got my truck for 750 bucks and can't wait to upgrade it
What a deal!
My dad has a 1999, I drive an Accord, but I’ve wanted a Ranger flare side for a while now.
Im sure someone would trade you for your Honda. Good luck!
Where did you happen to get the fender flairs
They were on the truck when I bought it sorry!
I got a 97 ford ranger how to lift the front 2 inches thanks
Thank you for the suggestion. I can do a video on that.
Any problems with blinding other drivers with the new LEDs? Thats my biggest concern since the leds are still in the factory housing,
Haven't been flashed yet lol You can still adjust them a little bit too.
@@DoinitwithDoug Ok just pulled the Trigger on some lasfits front and rear. I do alot of night driving so it a usefull mod. Awsome video btw love seeing these oldish trucks still getting lots of love!
@@sebastianarteaga4786 Nice my man! I'm sure that's gonna be 10x better. Thanks for sticking around. If you ever have any video suggestions, hit me up.
Just add window tint even if they flash you its not that bright
@@hunterpoucher3938 I like your thinking my man lol 🤣
Just pulled my 01 out the stable little seafoam and fuel pump after 7 years sitting and it runs like a brand new one
What size rims and tires do you have on that truck
32 inch tall tires and 15 inch rims.
Don’t know if u ever messed with ur head unit but kenwood has some great ones that slid in perfect with no gaps.
