I'm with you on that but also am big on cosmetics :)

Several months ago Josh, a young relative of mine, found some large building blocks discarded in an Arroyo. Him and I lugged the 38 blocks out by hand about a city block length along the bottom of the Arroyo and then up the steep concrete side of the Arroyo (15-20 ft. deep) and into the Truck bed. Disappointed that no access to get the Ranger down into the Arroyo to use the 4X4. We hauled the blocks out in two loads and the Ranger carried them like a piece cake to my house. The blocks weighed 52.5 lbs. each which made each load approx. 997 lbs. I cancelled my scheduled home gym workout because my shoulders and forearms were sore that day :LOL:

Do you have any pics of it lowered with the 1000 lbs in the bed?

How's the heat down there Frank ? Bet the THI is killer with the hurricane moving into the gulf.

Could be an exciting weekend. If it moves east, LA gets slammed again. If it moves west, we'll get the rain.
I feel really don't for the guys out west; Arizona, Nevada, NM and California. The heat is extreme.

No, after the fact, wish I would have thought of that but in the busyness lost track. It would be interesting to see what bed level looked like with a load in it. But here are the photos of the garden that Josh built out of the blocks.

Now wait a minute! Some of us ARE grandpas or at least old enough to be one! :crackup:
Some of us "older gentlemen" like lowered rides also! :sunglasses:

All good! I think everyone is ready for this! :like:
I resemble that remark :LOL:

What's the title to this thread again? Oh yea, "Anybody planning to LOWER their 2019 Ranger?" You are exactly right. "to each their own".
BTW, I don't drink Starbuck! :like:
I don't either, grind my coffee at Trader Joe's :LOL:

I am probably the only guy on this site that loves the factory rake. I think it looks bad and beefy along with the high bed sides and wouldn't want it any other way...maybe this is an old school thing :LOL:
I like it too but this forum is starting to get to me... :)

Looking forward to seeing some slammed #FFRs.
Saw this cruise by the other day and it took me back.
