a lifted truck with good gas mileage, lol. Ill try the ranger hunt for ya. Also, i took off my wing tonight to see what it looked like cuz you told me ever since i posted pics to take it off and i keep seeing yours and it looks bada$$. But where my wing was it left some scratches. And when i got it off and stepped back to take a look at it, it looked awesome. Wingless looks so much better in person then it does in pictures. But i cant stang scratches so the wings back on. But back on topic, im goin ranger huntin.

Hey homo, they didnt make talons in 85. Only made 89-99. You want an 89-92.5 though. 93-up crankwalks like a ****. If you can find one cheap, buy it. However, I dont recommend buying one as a beater because you will be tempted to install a 16g, full exhaust, a boost controller, and proceed to run 12s...
