Very subjective bro, I felt that the best for value and performance outs Bridgestone, yokohama, check out the dueller and geolander series

Michelin, Pirelli is too expensive for 4x4, not value for money

Sorry, it's bonnet guard

Small stones if hit the guard, will bounce off over the car, protecting the wind shield and bonnet

Oh this one. I was wondering it only functioned as better aerodynamics. Didn't know it has other function. Haha ....

Actually for visual cosmetics, I rcmd these

a. Roll bar - go for Hamer knight series or Premium plus,
b light - add the black colour bracket
c. Bonnet guard, use black or silver or carbon
d. Fender - only if you find a thin one
e. Fake bonnet scoop - only if can get high quality ones

Accessories, go to Prosound in Cheras, pretty reasonable price

Tyre, any shop will do

That was my initial plan when I planned to get FoRa

Roller shutter price always the same, but the difference is the installer,

The cheaper model is more robust

The expensive one is more quiet especially when go through road bump but less robust

Choose wisely

Hi all sifus, im noob on rims n tyres. Pls give me suggestions.
Im gonna collect my new Ford Ranger 2.0 XLT+ Limited next week. Plan to add body kits and rim/ off road tyre to make it more 'garang'. But i while i survey online, it seems like my origial rim 18' wanna change offroad tyre very expensive. Im wondering should i downgrade my rim size to 17 or 16 since i want to change rim. 16' or 17' also cheaper compared to 18'.
Im not sure if i really need to change offroad tyre since i mostly drive in the city. But the original tyre really look a bit soft for me.
All sifus out there can give me suggestion/opinion pls?
Thank you very much.

Ford ranger xlt+ is 265/60 R18 kan? If u want to downsize the rim to 16 inch then best to get 265/70R16 tires which would be quite easy to source... this size is more or less the same size as the original size..so u dun need to adjust your odometer etc... 17inch not so common sizes if you want similar tire size to the original and hence would be difficult to buy cheaper tires..
Stay with the HT tires if you don't go off road. AT tires look more garang but is not worth it if you drive only on paved roads (highway ke nonhighway is still paved). You can google AT vs HT if you curious..
