  1. BIGGEST REGISTRATION FEE EVER!!!

    Then I stand corrected, Hawaii may be the second highest nationwide. However, if you consider the many third world like road surfaces we must endure here in Honolulu, I may still be correct. It's common knowledge here that the state and city governments purposely maintain a main corridor from...
  2. BIGGEST REGISTRATION FEE EVER!!!

    Starting a query here, what do other members here pay to register their Ranger in your locale? Attached is my latest document, notice that this is what I pay annually Granted, I am assessed a yearly fee of $45 for vanity plates, but is anyone else's anywhere near $477 ? I do believe that...
  3. Aggressive extended care sales / Turbo issues?

    Can you imagine that Dodge Darts were considered "compacts" back in the day? The wheelbase and overall size of them are probably comparable to a new Honda Accord or Toyota Camry which are considered "full size" in this day and age. I'm guessing a Sedan DeVille or Lincoln Town Car of yore...
  4. Aggressive extended care sales / Turbo issues?

    You were spot on to tell these morons that perhaps you should reconsider and purchase another vehicle. The "back office", aka as the finance guy is where the dealership actually makes the $$$, hard selling extended warranties, paint and upholstery sealants, bogus "anti-theft" glass etching, so...
  5. Your Age-Your First Ford-What You Learned To Drive On-Your Rangers Year!

    Your stable lineup sounds like mine, my first new pickup I owned was an '80 F150 4x4 Flareside, then an '86 F150 4x4 Styleside, followed by a '91 and '00 4x2 extended cab Rangers. My latest Ford is a '20 Lariat 4x2 S/Cab which I am thinking of selling, if the price is right... Thank-You for...
  6. Friday night drunk posting thread

    Beautiful meal! If and when I do have a rib, t-bone or porterhouse it's usually at home. Most steakhouses here in Honolulu will not serve a steak cooked "blue", it's the only way I'll have a good steak...
  7. Beautiful pic of shoddy electrical work

    People who do that sort of "work" have absolutely no scruples or moral conscious at all, makes you wonder how well they sleep, let alone look themselves in the mirror!!!

    Well...it all "Depends"...lol

  10. Beautiful pic of shoddy electrical work

    Kudos to CA building code regs for that!
  11. Beautiful pic of shoddy electrical work

    I'd like to make a correction please...I believe the correct name is "Stellantis", however the name Chrysler does fit the bill immensely!
  12. Beautiful pic of shoddy electrical work

    I would not trust the butcher who did this to change the batteries in my flashlight!
  13. Icon Leaf Pack or Air Bags??

    Indeed, if the author ever saw the Mickey Mouse design of the axle bearings, he'd think twice about overloading his truck...
  14. Locking Gas Plug/Cap???

    As much as I'd like to patronize sponsors to this forum, $24 to mail this cap to Hawaii is a lot more than I care to spend. Guess I'll try my luck @ the local Ford dealers.
  15. Locking Gas Plug/Cap???

    Blasphemy! I removed my tailgate damper and only achieved an increase of .234 HP! Some fact checking is in order buster! :curse::crying::explode:
  16. Ranger makes list of vehicles with most associated DUIs

    Surprised that Mercedes-Benz nor Tesla not on this list, most (not all) pseudo "drivers" of these marques are some of the most inattentive drivers ever in Honolulu. You'd swear that they are impaired in some way or another... Don't get me started on so-called "Smart" car drivers either!
  17. Ranger bounces on road!

    Fly to Hawaii, Oahu to be exact and I'll take you on a circle island tour in my '20 Lariat S/Cab with monoleafs...
  18. Ranger bounces on road!

    As a teenager I inherited my Dad's '65 Mustang notch, the car had a nasty habit of rear end hop when in a turn and hitting a bump, almost to the point where you'd think you'd be going in the opposite direction. I tried everything from re-arcing the springs to countless brands and grades of...
  19. Parking brake boot.....Genuine Pleather

    Proof positive the the bean counters @ Ford are alive and well... Remember the plastic fuel filler decorative cover hinge on some mid-seventy Granada's and all Monarch's? How about the air cleaner cover nylon wing nuts that would almost always unscrew the carburetor's airhorn stud?
  20. Ranger bounces on road!

    I totally agree, the ride quality on my 2020 Lariat is akin to a child's spring suspended rocking horse many boomers grew up with. I.e, the front and rear suspensions are at odds with each other, with the rear being the culprit, it does not feel well dampened at all. My Lariat is a 4x2 S/Cab...
