Best mods you ever did to your Ranger?

The left seat adapter will be a little more difficult because of the Altima mounting points, but I will get that done next week if it isn't too cold. My major problem right now is figuring out the 7 wires that control the seat power. I went to some Nissan forums looking for an Altima wiring diagram but have gotten no response yet. If anyone has any suggestions re this, let me know. The seats are a good color match to my dash and headliner and will look great when I finally finish. I am having a carpet made and I haven't decided if I will build a center console or put in one from an Explorer.

Cool.
I am liking the little lamps. After quite a bit of research I found it was legal to drive with them as fog lamps and their placement was ok. And here it's legal to leave fog lights on whether in fog or not. So I will drive with them on some now. Trying to conserve the bulbs. Anybody got any idea on the life of 55W bulbs?
The CAI with the bigger filter sounds good. Looking at the box, I think I might be able to put a cone filter into it, allow more airflow than that stock flat POS. Might see what I can do with it.

I had a old '86 Ranger with big 3" tube bumbers front and rear. The best thing I ever did for my truck. I was rearended and all that happened to my truck was a little dent and minor scraches. I also hit a tree with the front driver corner if not for the bumber, which suffered minor scraches, the truck would have been totaled.

the first thing i do to any truck i have owned is put manuel gauges in it, a real oil pressure gauge, a real water temp that show how hot it really is, and a voltage gauge that tells you what the alt is really doing. the "trio-set" only cost about 40 bucks or so but can save alot problems and guess work.

How'd you do the "trio set" as you call it?
I know OP you just get a real sender and viola, problem solved. Water temp I'm not sure about, new theromstat? I didn't know ours didn't indicate truly. And the voltage gauge? I would bet it's a dummy light, it snaps to neutral once my truck is started.
Hmm, reverse myself on that one, could be my yellow-top not moving really.

the water temp gauge has a its own sending device that takes the place of your factory one in the intake manifold. the voltage gauge you hook up to a hot side of a keyed fuse (fuse that only operates if the key is "on") and it will tell u the exact voltage that alt is putting out. the set i use uses machanical gauges so the oil pressure gauge acutally has a 1/8 tube that runs from the sender to the gauge,and the h2o gauge uses temp wire from the sender to the gauge (note when istalling the temp gauge do not put sharp bends or kinks in the wire.) you get these these sets at just about any parts store.
