    At first I was saving tons of money watching ChrisFix videos, now he's tempting me with modifications i don't necessarily need.
    Now I'm searching for a fancy steering wheel for my 2006 Ranger.. 😅

    Thanks, this is great, it's actually illegal to permanently remove the airbag in my country so I thought I was stuck with an ugly stock wheel
