  1. How fast have you driven in your Ranger?

    Speaking of ā€œSHOā€s, loosely; I had a 92 SHO Taurus with the Yamaha motor…that was definitely a giggle to drive…and a tad quicker than the Ranger.
  2. How fast have you driven in your Ranger?

    Not as fast as in this…pretty close though….
  3. How fast have you driven in your Ranger?

    Uh huh. No pix—didn’t happen.
  4. How long did your stock tires last on your Ranger?

    Original Hankooks. Too lazy to rotate; keep the pressure between 15 PSI & ā€œThat looks about rightā€. 3 yrs & 35,000+ miles & still good. Dammit.
  5. What the heck happened to my Ranger?!

    Maybe aliens, a lightning strike, or a solar flare, turned your Ranger into a Honda…(chronic electrical issues)….
  6. Said Goodbye to the Ranger

    Drastic times call for drastic measures; no one is going to really blame you for shedding the Ranger. I love my 2019 XLT FX4, but…I just completed a 2800 mile round-robin trip from Seattle to/through Wyoming. We opted to drive our 2018 CRV (36 mpg @ 80 mph) vs. the Ranger (25-ish mpg @ only 70...
  7. Not as good as I thought it was. (MPG)

    2019 XLT TWO-Door….33,000 miles, bone-stock suspension still w/original Hanpoop tires, MBRP exhaust: 25 MPG @ 70mph. (ASS disabled.)
  8. FOR SALE!!

    What’s a good wife going for these days?
  9. How much fuel will ruin this engine?

    Please? Seen this video…multiple times. Great if you own a 2019 or newer. No small comfort for guys like me who own a 2018…don’t live in one of the ā€œ21 northern statesā€ā€¦still consistently have increasing oil quantities (not counting the initial oil change I did at 5,000 miles & drained 5 quarts...
  10. How much fuel will ruin this engine?

    You’ve got ā€˜no worries’, compared to the real debacle with the Honda CR-V’s 1.5 liter ā€œEarth Dreamsā€ engine…. where some engines had so much gas in the oil, folks were getting sick due to fumes in the ā€œcockpitā€.
  11. This can’t be good. Ugh!!

    I’m trying to picture oil leaking down around the coil packs… How many times have you changed the oil in 35K mikes? Fresh oil on plug threads doesn’t (necessarily) equate to internal engine/cylinder damage. You would definitely have other unambiguous indicators (lots of smoke, misfires...
  12. Regarding my Ranger on order...

    Anyone looking for a great deal on a Bronco Big Bend!!!? Found one in Thiensville WI…sorry, pictures are at night, in a rainstorm. MSRP is $45,650; Out-the-Door w/Dealer Markup: $75,650. ?ā€??ā€??ā€??ā€?????
  13. What are you other toys?

    For places my Ranger or FJ-40 can’t take me.
  14. What are you other toys?

    Thanks; this was a late 77 build. Was looking for a Willys flat fender Jeep & my son saw an add for this instead. It was on a farm…on an island. We raced to the nearest ferry terminal (@ 50 miles) & found it parked in a field. I told him ā€œif it starts, we’re buying itā€. It did...
  15. My Ranger next to a new Maverick+driving impressions

    Great write-up; thanks! The stock steel wheels certainly don't help. But regardless, it just looks....boring.
  16. Official: 2022 Ranger Splash Is Back. One-time-only Colors to Drop Every Few Months

    Not a big fan of added graphics, except for maybe the stripes on a 66 Shelby GT 350. This looks like more of a ā€œDripā€ than a ā€œSplashā€. I could do better with a can of Rust-Oleum.
  17. A bad day for the Ranger

    Nope: Double-wall box; they can’t slide hammer it out from outside, & can’t get inside to pound it out. Answer: Cut entire outside ā€œpanelā€ off all the way to the seam (behind the cab) & graft on a new skin. Then paint. Also, body shops have to comply with manufacturer ā€˜policy’ to avoid voiding...
  18. A bad day for the Ranger

    $7,500….hmmm. More than $6,000+ for this, so, don’t hold your breath.
  19. How fast have you driven in your Ranger?

    Since this thread has morphed into another LinkedIn-style debate; I’m switching gears (pun intended) back over to the ā€œWhat Tires To Buy?ā€ discussion. But before I go, did I mention I also hit 1.2 Mach in a B-1B over Afghanistan? Awesome ā€œexhaust noteā€; horrible MPG.
