Post your off-road pics.

Where in the Catskills do you go?

My club, NORA Adventure Club is affiliated with the school Northeast Offroad Adventures. This picture was taken on their mountain.

Sorry I did not take a photo but, 4 wheeled for the first time two weeks ago when I put my mine up on ramps to put my Fitz stick in quite exhilarating. I have had it two years.

Even if you do not offroad you should drive some in 4 wheel drive. Not good on the system to go unused. Just make sure you drive in a straight line and do not make any sharp turns unless you are on a dirt road were you can have wheel spin. I would think there is some info about this in the manual, I do not have mine available to check.

This isn't actually true in *most* modern trucks anymore.

The reason that was a suggestion in the older days is due to the fact that front hubs were disengaged when not in 4wd, but most newer vehicles don't disengage at the hubs anymore, the front driveline is constantly spinning even if it's not powered. The 5g+ Rangers are included in that population.

Did not know that thanks for the update. So the transfer case and front differential gears are always turning?

Little family vacation at the beach this summer and spotted this guy.. ?

That’s pretty cool. I’d drive it.

You didn’t see this guy getting out of it, did you?

Hey!
Don't hassle him!

Yes, in every typical 4x4 the transfer case is always turning as it's connected right to your transmission, regardless of the gear selection the fluid is flowing. And in most vehicles these days the front diff is always turning as well, it definitely does in the Ranger.

   Thanks, learned something new today. This forum is a great place.

My '22 Ranger has had quite a year in 2024. All in Oregon & these were my personal favorites:

March - We went target shooting, but it turned into a series of recovery missions rescuing each other stuck or in the ditch instead. lol

I always have a shovel, traction boards, air compressor, recovery gear on board, so it was great training pulling vehicles out. lol

April - Hole in the Ground(volcanic crater in Central Oregon)

June - Off-road trail near Mt. Hood

Couple weeks ago - Southeast Oregon

My friend's Ranger on the left. This last trip was very challenging to me because of distance(around 1,000 miles of hwy + off-road driving) & one trail which felt like 100 miles long & made up of big sharp rocks. Rangers are awesome trucks though. I just hope the 10 speed tranny holds up!

Yup, pretty much. I extended the line way up to the top of the hood basically and put a filter on it.

Can you do some pics with front breathers location? I found only one near the oil filter. As I understand Ranger has 3 breathers, rear diff, front diff and transf. case.?
Thanks.

I’ll @ you later today and make a post about that.

Bear Valley, CA.

Is this at the Round Valley Sno-Park OHV trails near Lake Alpine?

 

[RuggedRanger]

Took the Ranger out today. I am always impressed by this truck.

What cyclone filter did you add to the top of your raised air intake?

It's near Lake Alpine, but specifically the Corral Hollow trail - https://maps.app.goo.gl/9PiQqvJ65VEKvKDE7

I’ve got the Snorkel Upgrade on mine. It’s a cyclone that helps clean the intake air.
