#Top5 #Mods #Under$100 #FordRanger
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 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
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 my 2011 Ranger. Best truck I have ever had.
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.
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
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
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
@@shanewestphal7986my 95 ranger has the 3.0 and automatic, slips a little going from 2 to 3rd , but she still pulls good,
Just got a 96 Ford Ranger XLT. Super stoked to just juice it out
Thank you for the motivation man
Anytime! Thanks for watching.
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
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!
I remember my first car mod... Windshield wipers!
HAHA! :)
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
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.
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.
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
@@Jcperformancelab 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.
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.
Bro just picked up a 03 Ranger Edge with the original 6 disk and I’m so happy to be on CD searches.
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!
Radio technique when the truck starts making noise always works! Funny stuff!!!🤣
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.
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?
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!!
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 👍
Sick parkour in the beginning
LMAO! Thank! I've been working on it.
@@DoinitwithDoug We can tell, what a legend! 👏
Buddy played crazy for you by heart. That’s awesome
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 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
Absolute Legend love you Doug
Much love!
Those TRICO blades are NO BS. Good blades for the price. FYI.....NAPA has these on sale like every other month
Thanks Doug glad to be doin it with ya
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
This was neat. Thank you Doug.
You're welcome, thank you for being here and watching.
Don’t know if u ever messed with ur head unit but kenwood has some great ones that slid in perfect with no gaps.
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!
just got a 2011 ford ranger today very excited !!
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!
Three years later I’ve happily done it with Doug
The comeback is coming, dont you worry. Im not done with you lol ;)
Just picked up my first ranger yesterday!
Nice! Congrats!
I just picked mine up 3 days ago 2003 Edge 3.0 5 speed rwd :)
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.
I like how he said Bluetooth radio just jammed in there for real on my 2001 Ford ranger😂
bro I love your truck looks cool
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 .
I've legit done half of these and didnt even think of them as a mod
Got a 99 Ford ranger xlt a couple mouths ago and love it
I am 15 and I have a 1993 ford ranger xlt 2wd and it was my dads truck but gave it to me and fell in love with the truck we took the engine out and working on it like new spark plugs and wires, water pump and timing belt I can go on there is a lot but after I am done with I love to get outside kit and I do the inside too but it’s good truck my dad had it since I was like 8 so yeah lol
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.
now thats a beautiful drive
yo tbh you deserve way more attention, i thought i was watching a million sub youtuber and i was disappointed when i saw you only get this little amount of attention.
You are way too kind! Thanks for being here.
@@DoinitwithDoug 100% i’ll be watching your videos while chillin inside my ranger as well
Diego, i know right?? Tell all your buddies and everyone about Doingitwithdoug, there's a whole other chapter coming soon!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Check out the dual media player radio . It fits perfectly in the radio spot
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?
got a Ol'2011 sport. great vid - the drive at the end was God's Country Sir
Sure is pal! Thanks for watching!
dude i love your videos man!
You're the man Thomas! Thanks for being here man.
Dope! Thanks for the links brotha
I was the 1000th subscriber. You're welcome.
You the best! Much love.
Yes , and his Dad thanks you as well!!
Thanks man just got my truck for 750 bucks and can't wait to upgrade it
What a deal!
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.
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.
Just pulled my 01 out the stable little seafoam and fuel pump after 7 years sitting and it runs like a brand new one
Just got me one. I really like it.
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
You look like Josh Allen lol great video 👍
Keep it going man!!
I am excited
Glad you liked it!
the radio part is very true. I can’t hear my exhaust leak when I turn the radio all the way up while singing with Zach Bryan and all the problems go away
Just bought a 99 with 93k miles for 3k cash... runs like a champ
I just bought a 99 with 13, 500 miles for 13 K. I dont deserve this truck , it should be in a museum.
Dang, nice score.
I love doin it with dude
I've heard that a time or two ;)
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.
You can get windshield wipers for two or three dollars at Walmart! In the automotive department! They come in a white box labeled windshield wipers!
Helpful tip, thanks for sharing!
Also you can get new headlights (not the bulbs) off Amazon for $70 and I have had mine for a year and they haven't hazed over they look brand new.
Yeah, I want to get ones that are black housings with clear lenses. Mine aren't too bad so I just haven't pulled the trigger. Hoping to do a coilover conversion here soon.
@@DoinitwithDoug those are the ones I have, with clear reflectors on the side marker. I really like them. What type of coil over kit are you thinking? One of those $3k ones or something else?
@@brevanhansen5084 You can get the parts you need for like 1200 with extended brake lines, bumpstops, limiter straps, extended eyelets to clear your CV axles.
@@DoinitwithDoug huh, my main thing would just be figuring out the mounts. That's the only reason I haven't done something like that. All the forms that don't use the full long travel kits buy other mounts that couldn't find anywhere. If you end up doing this then put links to the parts.
@@DoinitwithDoug I'm not sure about coilovers , but the torsion bar suspension is better than the coil system on most 2 wheel drives . That's the best thing about my Ranger Edge , it's a 2 wheel drive with the torsion bar suspension from the 4 wheel drive , almost a stock pree runner .
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.
Just pick up a clean 89
You’re lucky you got the 4x4 I’m stuck with the RWD
Sorry bud.
Intro got me. Subbed
Ayye oh! :)
Yo this beat is sick
Subbed great vid
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
I have the same bluetooth, Named it Reginald
Mine is named Jenny, mine has a girl voice. Lol 😂
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. :)
Walmart has touch screen units that almost fit but I had to cut a smidge then it fit in perfect.
Look up Sony they have a nice head unit, touchscreen. I’m getting mines installed next month
I defiantly will have to. Thank you!
This looks very fun
Oh it was lol
Not to mention the fact that if your front end is any more than 1 mm taller than your rear end. That is by definition a squatted truck and you will be relentlessly called Gay.
Very true. lol
Thanks 🚘
No problem 👍
Just bought a 2004 Ford Ranger
Just got my first 99 ranger for 3k just over 100k miles and pretty excited to fix her up
Thats awesome. Hard to find with lower miles.
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.
The Ranger life is good.
It sure is.
I need alot of work to do with my ranger I really wanna keep it forever
It'll keep you busy, but she will good to you for sure.
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.
Just got my 2000 XLT already shredding tires
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching them!
Just leveled my truck for 3375, started with new coils for 100$, but then needed this, then that, then this, now 3.3g later i need to wait 3 weeks for an axle drop bracket to correct the camber issue (truck cannot be aligned) becareful throwing mods in.
Not sure if you're still looking at comments, but I have the email address of someone I bought Explorer coilover brackets from just a month or so ago. He should still be making them i assume and they should be the same for Tbar Rangers.
I found a company that makes them, I think ill order it from them only because a buddy of mine works there. Trying to support a local business. Thanks for the update buddy.
What company had these available?
Had flash backs to when I flipped my Ranger because the lights were too dim.
Had some heart cranked aha
Show some cool mods like that center console
I show it in my walkthrough video of the truck.
what tires are those? super clean
