I prefer the thicker wheel for comfort.

Never really had any issues with the skinnies myself... just too used to them I guess...

That's another reason I picked one up.

Maybe my wheel was defective or something.Idk,they just never felt sturdy to me.As soon as I torqued that new one down and tested it,I noticed a big difference.

I drove an 86 bronco a bunch with the skinny wheel and it just felt wrong. I have the full size in the 94 PLUS the steering wheel cover. Nice upgrade.

Exactly.But I don't think they offered a skinny wheel after the 7th gen,they're not very comfortable,and that's about the time Safety started to come into play,and I wouldn't necessarily deem the skinny steering wheels safe.

Oh I know they're strong,but the XLT wheel feels alot better.

I had the skinny wheel on my 69 and i like it honestly. It had a leather wrap on it and it was nice...
Im used to my 95's wheel with a cover on it...

 

[flareside_thunder]

Im used to my 95's wheel with a cover on it...

Agreed......even with the cover off it feels weird.

 

[Lost]

Thanks Duncan.

I don't know about everyone else,but those skinny wheels just feel like they're gonna break with the slightest tug.I'd hate to see what happens in an accident.

They both hurt I still have a circle mark on my chest every time I get xray.

Well,I picked up a headliner from the junkyard,and I finally drilled the holes for the rear trim piece that goes above the rear window.The center console is also done.I just need to pick up some foam and Realtree material,and some 3M Glue,and put it all together and then install it.After that,I need to find some map pockets,and some black carpet,and the interior will be good to gnce I get the headliner in,i'll post some pics.

 

[RedLariat85]

It's looking great, Shaun!

Does that tach work?

 

[Fordzilla80]

A couple updated Pics...

If anybody notices,I was able to get those door panels I missed out on when I got the new interior.Not sure if I ever posted them or not.

She's sportin her Ranger Lariat insignia now too.

And last but not least,the new (2007) Pioneer Receiver.And yes,it works!

Still looking for a Ranger Lariat Radio Bezel too.If you've seen one and can acquire it,give me a holler.

Thanks man,I appreciate it.

The truck originally came with a vinyl floor mat.But i'm retiring the truck from hard work,so i'm gonna treat it to carpet.It's had a hard life,it's time for luxury.This truck will be more of a show truck and an occasional play truck.

I picked up a new Ranger Lariat seat the other day too.It'll eventually be recovered in a black/silver/white scheme.

 

[fordman76367]

aah i see.... and what material u gonna go with on the seat just normal fabric? or are you going with velour or vynyl/leather, or neoprene or somethin?...i need to mess with my 84 and replace the trannie and fix the couple oil leaks and the vaccuum leak but the money well is dang near dry right now.. i forgot what engine ur pickup has in it..i wanna say the 300i6 or am i wrong?

For the seat,it's gonna be recovered in the same vinyl/cloth it's in now,just Black and Silver.

For the engine,it is a 300 I6.Most people look at my truck and assume it has a 302.lol.

I'm gonna keep the 300 as it's somethin different.This won't be a high horsepower truck.I'm kinda concerned about the condition of the block though,so I might have to find another one,but I definitely want to keep a 300 in the truck.

I've got the seat in the truck now.Alot better than the original seat.
