We planned to go camping rain or shine, lots of rain forcasted... but snow was forcast for higher elevations so we headed for the hills.

I’ve been lurking since I got my ‘21 Ranger in March 2021 so figured it was time to have an account.

I installed the 2.5” levelling kit, replaced the crash bars with Rough Country ones for more clearance, added 1” wheel spacers and 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I also have a set of studded Nordmans on winter rims. Replaced the rear shocks last year with Bilstein 5100s. Probably need to do the fronts this year.

Leer canopy has been on since I got the truck and I really like the extra weight on the back. Makes it feel (and look IMHO!) more balanced. Usually have a NorthShore rack on but had it off yesterday for a recce out near Sugar Lake.

I’ve been in the Okanagan for over 30 years and love getting into the backcountry. Attached photo was just over an hour from home yesterday and at about 1300m. Beautiful. These trucks climb like goats.

Cactus grey.

So many great routes. I spent part of the early 90s working in forestry so I’m pretty familiar with most of main forestry roads. Some stuff has been deactivated but there is still a ton to explore.

Hey! Long-time follower but just created the account.
Live in Ontario, but this Ranger has seen St. John's, NFLD as well as Vancouver Island and everything in between.

The part that doesn't answer this online so my truck stays right where it belongs 😜 lol

Jokes aside - now in the general area of Kingston.
Spent most my life in the GTA before here.
Great setup Sean.
