Congrats, hope you got what you wanted. Even though you really can't put a price on something you cherish that much.

Old Yamahas Give Me Wood
I bought my little ranger in august of last year for two simple reasons: it was dirt cheap and the miles were low ($3000 for a 95 with 53k miles on it). Maybe three reasons....i liked the color too.....blue pearl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
At the time I had no intentions of upgrading it or putting money into it. To me, it was just a beater with no AC, a 5 speed ****** and gas efficient engine that i'd drive until i could afford a new import (i wanted a tiburon). Then, one fateful day I was in wal-mart reading their magazines waiting for my girlfriend to get her makeup shopping done when i happened upon mini-truckin magazine. I started leafing thru seeing all the cool mods available for rangers and it set my mind in motion. I could invest in this truck what I had planned on using to buy a new car and make it way cooler than any rice-guzzling four banger ever hoped to be: It would be a MINITRUCK!
so i left wal mart with a spring in my step and dragged my girl down to H&K Sound (the local audio dealer) and asked him what it would take to put a pair of 10's or 12's in my ranger. He told me quote "I've never seen anything bigger than a pair of 8's in a single cab ranger". So being the defiant little shit i am, i set out to prove him wrong.
I went to the local junk yard and scored a pair of bucket seats to replace the ugly stock ranger seats, installed them, and started measuring for box space behind the seat. After a week of deliberation and a mountain of wadded up blue drafting paper, i finally came up with a way to squeeze a single 12 in a foot-and-a-half sealed box behind the seats. I hacked out the plastic that housed the 5x7's behind the seat and beat the box with a rubber hammer until it slid into the open space. The problem, however, was that the only audio equiptment I had was an old pioneer 12 (the one with diamonds on the cone and no dust cap) that peaked at 150w RMS and my trusty old Audio Art 70.2. So I slapped it all in there, hid the wires and went bumping along my way with a smile on my face....but not for long. As an audiophile, 130db was not nearly enough. So I went and got a second job and started upgrading my equiptment piece by piece. I started by purchasing a 3-way crossover with a remote gain and exchanging my pioneer 4100 for a 6400 (the pretty dolphins and race cars sold me), two mb quart 5.25 midbass speakers for the factory 5x7's in the doors, a pair of fusion .5" tweets molded into the a-pillars, and finally traded my ratty old sub for the monsterous Audiobahn AW1200Q. Now, I love my Audio Art amp, but I can hum louder than 140w RMS can push a 1200Q, so i wired it up to my mids and got a JBL 600.1 for the sub. It hit like a mother (+/-139), but when i hooked the sub up to my friend's bd1000 in the Lloyd Lowery Designed "Big *** Box", it went crazy and started putting out 143's and 144's consistantly, so I went and got my current amp: a 1300w Ultimate Digitalis....which I'm trading off at the end of this week for a JBL 1200.1. I haven't had any money to do much to the body yet, but I plan to shave the door handles, the tailgate handle, the tail lights, and the body lines. I also have a sir michaels roll pan and a fiberglass front air dam in mind when the funds are available.
This is sorta off topic, but it was what I was writing it for my sounddomain page, and i wanted to test it out on you guys before I put it on my page //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
