    haha i think it was more the fact i only paid 6k for the truck and it was clean and solid. (besides the o2 sensors)

    america first valued the truck at 10k soooo if it ever gets totalled. thats roughly 4k on a new 2nd gen haha

    had an old 96 that was totaled and that insurance money went to my current 01

    i joke around that ill never buy a car again, "ill buy a shitty ford ranger before i buy a car again in my lifetime"

    Bumper looks great man, thats the Elite bumper yes? Looks very similar to the Relentless Fab bumper...those hoops should offer good protection, any one who says they dont like the look of hoops clearly has never clipped a deer at 50mph..:eek:

    Haha yeah? You never noticed that? That's pretty much the only difference between the two. That's why I like the Elite bumpers better.

    Yea never payed much attention. when i was shopping then thing that i didn't like about the relentless vs the elite is how much narrower the wings where so there showed more crap hanging down..granted..better approach angle...so..give and take.

    but they are the same becaue Tim and Eric went to school together and sorta designed them together..then added their own touches.

    but yea. never noticed that the relentless's were just straight.

    yea they look sweet. my 33s feel like my 31s..haha but still. 33s look good on a well built taco like your own. And no where remotely close to the hassle to fit them :p haha
