$230, check them out at Motorhaven, if you're not familiar with Motorhaven, just click on "Parts Shop" at the top right of this page. It was the most performance gained by any single mod I have done so far. On my 93 it was a bit of a pain to get the chip in because of the location of the ECM, but well worth the hassle. Takes less than an hour. If you need more info, check out the computer tuning forum, Ken (Webmaster) can help you out if you have questions. Do a search there in computer tuning first though, there are lots of questions you can have answered without having to post. Also, if the premium in your area is only 91 octane, don't worry about that because unless you specify it for 93 or higher octane, it will work fine since it will be tuned for 92 octane which will work with 91. Sorry if I lost you in all that

You can find them on Ebay, but you'd still be paying over $100 and you'd still have to pay to get it reprogrammed for $35. Like I said, it'll it's worth it for the power but it'll never pay for itself. Just don't buy into those $5 fake chips on Ebay that are out there, they are a scam to get you to buy a 50 cent resister for $5 or more. Sounds like your money will be just as well spent on those swampers.

tattoofever - what airbox mod did you do to get WORSE gas milage? THat seems strange...... Also Quack - if you are really worried about gas milage, then forget about the Super Swampers! When I my Dunlop mud terrains during the firestone recall, they knocked my gas milage down at least 1 or 2 mpg. THey just weigh so much more than regular All terrains. And swampers are even worse than most Mudterrains. But if you go off-roading very much (i go at least once a month), the mud-terrains are totally worth it. They make so big of a difference off-road.

oh heck yeah, i love to go mudding, i try to go everyday, but when i go everyday, it's usually stuff that is only decent, but fun, nothing to worry about, but just last night i went hardcore mudding, in a marshy field, ended up getting the ranger stuck, over night! just got it out an hour ago, were gonna use a trailer but the basturd got a flat when we were 1/2 way there haha
yeah i have all terrains right now, but ONLY because i got them for free, actaully i will most likely buy those dunlops!

Yeah, the Dunlop Mud Terrains are pretty decent in my opinion. They are pretty much the least expensive Mud terrains you can get, but seem to have pretty good preformance on and off road. Plus, I've had them on my truck for a little over 45,000 miles, and they're just nor getting down to where i need to replace them. Pretty good for a mud-terrain.
PS - Quackhead - what state are you located in? Just wondering if it was anywhere around Indiana.....Always looking for fellow Rangers to go off-roading with.
