Used it to take a load of junk to the dump. There were only 2 of us dropping off, and the other guy was in a nice old blue Ranger Edge. The guy working there was real keen on the 2019, asked a ton of questions and couldn't take his eyes off it. It's nice finally having a truck that turns heads for positive reasons! :crackup:

Added this nifty Roush sticker to the rest of the gang.

It even came with this awesome cold air intake!

Phil, are you going to tell us why you measured his front stabilizer bar with a micrometer or just leave us wondering?
Hi Al,

A forum member asked what the diameter was so the member might investigate alternative rubber isolation methods to improve understeer of his/her Ranger. Just trying to help...

Best,

Took it on a road trip. We had to cancel our spring trip to Utah due to Covid which is now rescheduled for the fall. ?Decided to get away up north to Flagstaff for a few days and get out of this heat. It's been 110 lately and last weekend was 116 so this cool 85 degree air feels great right now. Nights are going to be in the mid 50's so yes,I'll be freezing! lol One of the nice things about living here is you're only 2 - 2 1/2 hours away (depending on how you drive ?) from the high country. Goodyear is at 1000' elevation and Flagstaff is at 7000'.

Even with the rise in elevation I still managed to average 18.5 mpg driving 80-85 mph all the way here. There are some long steep grades near Crown King and Bumble Bee and I never felt the tranny lag or hunt for gears like my Tacoma use to on the same trip. Actually it never downshifted lower than 7th gear and the rpms were just under 3000. This truck impresses me every time I drive it! Was coming up on someone in the left lane and of course they weren't moving over so I just nailed it and in an instant I was in the right lane and by him and he was a blip in my rear view in no time. It still amazes me that there's only a 4 cyl in this truck!

It's pretty amazing. Everytime I whip by someone, apparently I grin from ear to ear, according to my GF. She says my face lights up and my eyes crinkle.

Put on Icon 2.5 coilovers, Icon tube Upper Control Arms, and 2.0 rear shocks. Got the rear up in the air to get ready for the 1 inch blocks coming tomorrow.

Destination reached... Nicolet Bay, Peninsula State Park. We parked in Fish Creek and rode in.

Reached our destination. Everyone was beat after the bicycle ride in and out of Peninsula State park. Regardless of the photo I couldn't get the bikes loaded the same way.

It reminds me back when I had my street bikes. With a quick twist of the throttle you were around someone and gone! I was coming up on him doing 80 already so with just a little more gas it was like a rocket and I was around him. It's hard not to grin driving these trucks! ?

How much would a man expect to pay for that setup on the front?

I have the same setup on the front, but bought the reservoir rears (Stage 3). I bought them from Poly Performance and the list price is $2679.75. They have a 10% discount if you use code POLYFB10. Free shipping & no tax. Bottom line was $2411.78. Stage 2 is $2419 less the 10% discount. I couldn't be happier with the performance. Works amazing
