Took the Ranger to MERUS Adventure park near Amarillo this weekend and stayed in one of the Cabins. Highly recommend for off pavement play time. My Ranger is stock height with 32" Toyos and handled the steep climb in and out of the canyon like a mountain goat. We drove most the Green (Beginner) trails without difficulty, attempted four Blue (Intermediate) trails, completing two. My rig needed more clearance for the rockier sections and we were too far from home to push the limits. All in all, good time.

Right near palo duro canyon?

That's an impressive canyon. We did a hike to the lighthouse when we passed through. Gorgeous area.

Maybe because of time of year but not crowded at all. No events were going and it seemed like we had the canyon to ourselves on Friday. We only saw maybe half a dozen vehicles out on Saturday.

Drove to the store.

When I came out this lady had parked next to me. It's a 1977 f150 ranger. She has owned it from New. It has the same engine and trans only basic maintenance on it.

Rusted but brought back memories of my scout masters 1978 f150 truck we drove to summer camps.

I had a 2003 Ranger I bought new and still owned 10 yrs ago back in the day when I met my wife. When I met my wife, I also owned a 1968 F100 Ranger (short bed) that I had tricked out like a period hot-rod. Damn I loved that thing. It's on my wife's finger now, along with several firearms. No regrets though.

My daddy once owned a '69 Ranger. I learned to drive it in a hayfield ( picking up hay). Yet another one of the vehicles we had "back in the day" that I wish I had now.

I learned to drive in a 1987 F150, 4 speed manual. . . that thing was essentially a 3 speed. lol 1st gear was to about 10mph so most of the time I started in second gear. when I went from that to my manual tacoma that thing felt like a sports car. LOL

My grandfather had a 1979 F250 that he let me drive as a little kid to dump the compost at the back of his farm and out to pick fruits and veggies for the table. And I mean, I was a little kid, maybe 8 to 10 years old, when I started driving it with him. Damn, what I would give to have that old truck for my own just because of the memories.

drove 4 hours total to get my military surplus trailer to use to build out an off-road trailer and camping trailer for the family. everything pre-made was wayyyy over priced. My current roof top tent will be moved to this new build! for 1200$ it's in really good shape. can you guess the tire size?
