Wow, great pics! Beautiful truck & dog:thumbsup:
If you have the HD version of the Diamondback cover, you can mount a tent rack. I'll be doing that this winter. Have you considered it?

I have a trifold tonneau cover. I like the tent setup for the Rangers, but we've been looking to get a pull behind travel trailer for awhile now. Hopefully in the not too distant future!:like:

Good luck with your trailer choice. I was heading in that direction until I watched some 'Overlanding' videos where most of the rigs have a rack mounted tent. I thought it was cool - and much cheaper than a trailer. Post pics of the trailer you choose.:thumbsup:

took on Ocala National Forest (FL) again last weekend! I need to start pinching pennies for a level and tires ASAP. have any aftermarket companies come out with a snorkel setup?
You need new tires my man! I had the exact same issues when I took the OEM Hankook's to an off road park. They clog with mud and they're impossible to clear.

I upgraded to 265/70/R17 Falken Wildpeaks and they're much better. I'm slowly saving up for a coilover level kit as well.

I think we’d all like to appreciate some pictures of where our trucks have been.

Big Bear Ca, got snowed on a little. Ranger exceeded my expectations for comfort off-road.

How did you get away from not having a front plate bracket being from California?

They only time I’ve been asked why I didn’t have one was coming back into the US from Canada. ‍♂

Took the truck out this weekend on Hermit Pass just outside Westcliffe, CO.

https://www.dangerousroads.org/north-america/usa/3938-hermit-pass.html

Truck still amazes me. Got it on two wheels going up a 6 degree incline without the rear locked and it was able to apply traction perfectly. Incredible traction control system on this truck.

What impressed me most is that I never once hit a rock on any skid plates, sliders, or underbody bits. This truck is just the right size for off roading on these tight trails.

Trail control is something I wouldn’t want to do without anymore. Having it lock the throttle at a steady state when you are bouncing over boulders makes for a greatly improved off road experience. No more jerky throttle from your foot bouncing around.

Nice pictures, Andy, and great post. How do you like the taller Nitto Ridge Grapplers?
