If it were any other place then Arkansas! Sorry about that.

But welcome to the States none the less. You clearly have the best combination of a stock Ranger.

Mountain biking? You need to come out to the mountains! Bought my first “real” mountain bike in 1983, a Stump Jumper ordered through the Sharper Image catalog!

My parents grew up in Flippin near Bull Shoals Lake! While I unfortunately don't know any driving trails, I do want to point out that hunting is a very prominent sport there and the first day of deer season is practically a school holiday. I mention it only so that your beautiful pup might get a neon orange reflective vest for the fall and winter if you are out in the sticks so that hunters don't mistake her for a coyote or other critter.
That’s a great suggestion! I have in-laws who are hunting CRAZY here and in KS.

Look beautiful. Are you CO based?
We have two or three trips planned out there already, Leadville and Steamboat areas.

I was born and raised in Denver, lived a couple other places in CO and went to school in Boulder. Living in an old historic neighborhood in Denver for a while now.

Spent a fair amount of time around both Leadville and Steamboat, very different sort of places but both beautiful. The pic in my signature is going over Mosquito Pass on the way to Leadville from Fairplay.

Welcome from a citizen of the Realm (and I refuse to let go of Her Highness).

Don't forget to start choosing 5G teams - damper vs. damperless! =D

And make sure to get the latest fad and fashion statement for your Ranger!

Looks great, I’ve been eyeing up some trails on onX Offroad so will add this in.

Thank you! I also can’t get used to “God Save The King”…

That is a mighty fine gold chain! Reminds me of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Hello there!

New green card holder here, just moved from London, UK to Bentonville, Arkansas!

I've been stalking this Ranger forum from the UK since the start of the year and had been lusting after a Cactus Grey Tremor. I've previously owned a few sporty VW's (Polo and Scirocco R), a sporty BMW M328i and then settled into a 2007 Land Rover Freelander 2 that we kitted out for rooftop tent camping and toured across the UK and Europe with our Border Collie (Mila) from Scotland all the way down to Switzerland and Italy, a few mountains passes and driving over 2700m/8800ft up through Italian mountains in Susa.

Somehow managed to score what was the ideal Ranger for us, a Cactus Grey XLT Tremor, so thought I'd say hi and hopefully meet some likeminded folk.
I'm hoping - after we buy property here - to build this Ranger into a little camper. Maybe GFC or a bed rack with BDV Duo if anyone has experience with either/both.

Anyone based in or nearby NW Arkansas it'd be great to be in touch!

Or if anyone knows of any great trails we could drive in a stock Tremor, I'd love to see them.

I'll leave some photos of the truck from a gravel drive into Missouri today.
Land Rover and Mila photo attached for good measure!

Great news! Moving or just a trip?
Welcome to the US Joe!, nice looking Tremor!!

I just picked up mine last May after my '19 Ranger was totaled. :frown: We just sold our house here in AZ and will be moving just north of you to Bella Vista in 2 weeks. I bought a lot across from one of the lakes there and we'll be having a house built. We'll have to get together and find some trail to explore once we're settle in.

Amazing! That's exactly what we are wanting to do next year, either buy or build but definitely Bella Vista. I'm up there most of the time using the trails. It's in much better condition that everywhere else currently after our seven tornadoes...
Excited to have you here, I'm definitely keen for some trail exploring and will have a lot of questions about the market up there.

Yea it comes from bad experience. When I was about 3, I watched a hunter run over my dog intentionally because he thought it was a wild animal.
My cousin has invited me up there for thanksgiving and if I bring my dog, she will definitely be getting an orange vest to wear outside but if you go through any trails that has rivers or creeks, be sure to try your hand at fishing. Some of the best catfish I’ve ever had was caught up there.

I've been doing some fishing in Hot Springs, hoping to get back out there again and use my in-laws fishing boat as having no luck off the dock.
Couldn't get a fishing license last time as I hadn't received my SSN :')
