New Members Introduce Yourself!

[DukeCanBuildit]

Glad you're here. Tell us more about yourself, as I'm new here too. Bounced over here from Facebook. I have a special interest in Ford 'history'.

Wait until you find out we have our own resident expert in the history of the Ranger - only because he’s a retired engineer/exec who’s pretty much responsible for the first 4 generations. Keep reading threads and you’ll soon run into several posts from Phil. Enjoy.

You’re going to love his back stories!

Looking forward to the dissertations as I'm driving my 4th new Ranger since 1988 - my 1st 4 cyl Ranger to boot. Have been very happy with them all. My 1988 SWB 2.9L was in the family for 13+ years (181k miles) until trading up to a 2001 super cab 4.0L 2wd. Then came the 2006 super cab 4.0L 4wd. Lariat has been in the family since May, 2019. Has been a very good road to travel!

Warn Zeon - on order
ARB rear bumper
Etc.....

Welcome Gary - I’ve spent a lot of time in that area, from Silver Star to Osoyoos and all places in between. Lived in Kelowna for a year - great place to own a modified Ranger!

Now, let’s talk about those front crash bars. They gotta go - seriously, they do.

I mean, I love your truck but no Ranger should have overgrown ear hair.

Hello all,

FINALLY got mine last night after 20 weeks. I guess in the end I'm not as patient as I thought.

Anyhow, my daily driver and used for tailgating at UM football. Super happy with it and how it turned out. I basically ordered it using the information/reviews on the forum as I was deciding between this and a taco. I wasn't able to find either truck to even sit in or take a test drive which was crazy at the time and probably still is in certain areas of the country.

Needless to say, I got the damper (lol) and where the hell is the heated steering wheel? Heated seats, navigation, and power folding mirrors but no heated steering wheel, what the hell! No big deal but just surprised. Who came up with that?

That blacked out look is awesome. Almost as nice as cactus grey

It's on the list. I promise.
I had the bumper installed and realized I couldn't get the bolts out. So I'll either cut them when the new tires arrive or unbolt them when the winch arrives (easiest to mount the winch with bumper dropped). So, plucked or trimmed they will be gone.

Thanks. It does look much better than the electric blue with BC pinstriping.

I’ll be watching and taking notes. Enjoy all those logging roads and abandoned mines out your way!

Sweet, we're "almost" twinsies! I just got mine 2 weeks ago, after a 12 week wait!

Oh man, the back order sucks! No, I haven’t seen it but I’d like to - you should drop the link into your signature. ?
