Vince, Thank You for an awesome video, do not know who enjoyed your adventure more, you or the dogs lol. I hope you have many more adventures in your Ranger, it certainly appears to have proven itself in any condition. "So many roads, so little time" enjoy as many miles as you can.

Thanks so much, Tiny! Firstly, for checking out the video and secondly for giving a shout out to my two dogs. I can tell you they certainly enjoyed the trip, but I’d be a fool not to tell you that since being home, they’ve been back to their no good selves of being couch hogs (at least the Ridgeback, the GSD has more discipline ??).

Might be something with your settings? The video is public and it’s getting views. Try a different browser, maybe?

Finally got it . Beauty video man thanks for sharing with us . Some beautiful country you have there . I will make my way down there one day in the Ranger when the borders open. Nice rig you have there and it looked like it performed well . The more I drive off-road in the Ranger the more I learn and trust this truck it’s pretty darn tough and capable even with the stock ( shout out to Phil) FX4 suspension I’ve been through some tough terrain. I run 33s as well and I get being apprehensive when the going gets really tough and you’re alone. Travelling in that terrain with your dogs must have been epic . I spent many a day and night in the bush with my two Weimaraner's .

Know what you mean about couch hogs, my 19lb 12 year old Boston Terrier has a blanket on every chair and couch in the house and flops down wherever she wants. Where in VA are you from, I am moving to VA Beach next month?

Thanks, Jeff! I have been very happy with the Ranger’s off road performance. I feel it provides a lot of driver control in tough situations and it is quite a capable truck. There were a few other spots that I went through in separate locations on my trip that were tougher than what is shown in the video, and the rig performed really well. I never experienced major or minor wheel spin, it cruised through some off camber climbs and muddy bog holes.

That said, I do find the FX4 suspension to be too stiff for my taste, and I like a stiffer suspension. I am running the FabTech 3.5 lift kit and want to upgrade the front coil overs to Icon Stage 2s. I’m fine with the rear dirt logic shocks for now.

Highway performance was great. Love how this truck handles on road. I don’t have a tune, I won’t be getting one, and I still love it. My biggest, BIGGEST, complaint about this truck is the fuel tank size. It should have at least been a 22 gallon tank.

hope to see you out on the trail someday with your dogs!

I had a Boston Terrier. She was just the same as yours. I love in NOVA. Get in touch if you are ever in this area! Be nice to get to know more Ranger owners.

Nice video!

Only thing I would suggest is maybe either list or put links to some of the equipment you used in the descriptions.

For example, in the video you mentioned that you really liked the awning with the sides.

Which awning is it?

A link to stuff like that would be good information as well as possibly getting you a bit of a kickback if someone buys it

Thanks for the suggestion. So the awning I directly imported. I contacted Darche in Australia. Same with the swag. They flew the equipment straight from their factory in China so no middleman. As far as I know, there is only one vendor in the States that sells their product, and they are a shit vendor. I wouldn’t even recommend going through them. Contact Darche directly.

Glad you had a great trip, Beartooth pass can be awesome and terrifying in the same week. Funny story first, end of July my friend and I were going to Yellowstone and while traveling up Beartooth we heard and felt a "Bang!". Jumped out of the vehicle, checked all around, but could not find anything leaking or evidence of failure. I climb back in and step on a potato chip, we look under the seat and the chip bag had detonated! Little while after we made snow angels on the state border as a couple from Washington passed by laughing at us...

That's a great story! Was telling a friend of mine when I got back that the West Coast has seemingly better chip selection than on the East Coast. A lot more selection IMO! So mental note: watch out for the chip bag explosions!
