What I like is watching You tubers try to be polite when saying how much worse trail condition are once quads, side by sides, UTVs or what ever you choose to call them start using the trail.

Honestly, they also tend to be the ones who are intoxicated and engaging in dangerous or destructive behavior. The YouTubers won't say it because they're afraid of offending subscribers.

Not the group I watch.
I can just drive around my local area if I want to watch rowdy yahoos.

I realized that as much as I love the Ranger, it's never going to be or do what I really love which is crawling over rocks with ease and efficiency and getting to places very few people can get to (without hiking of course). I also struggled with the transmission-stock, multiple tunes, etc. No matter what I did the harsh shifts returned after the relearn process. Dealer was no help.

Here she was on one of our last days:

Moving on to my next project:
20230617_150114~2.jpg


I have a lot of takeoff items I'll be posting over the next few days (mostly for CO local pickup-Shrockworks rock sliders anyone?).

Links to my stuff!
Bronco wheels and 33" BFGs - SOLD

Tuners

Sway bar quick disconnects - SOLD

Tom Woods Driveshaft - SOLD

Shrockworks Rock Sliders - SOLD

Misc goodies

Husky floor liners available - $50 OBO

PM me with any questions or offers!

Stock parts not linked but still available:
OEM leaf springs
OEM bump stops
OEM gravel protectors

You're all a great group of guys and gals and I'll still lurk on here to make sure @AzScorpion is still cursing me over Unleashed.

Take care and I wish you all the best.
Only a few items remaining: tuners (price dropped), floor mats, and misc items.

What’s your mpgs been like?
I want a rubicon with a standard transmission.
Found a pretty good deal on a 23 gladiator. Just don’t want to extend my car note ?
Towing is a concern as well. I’d like a small camper in the next few years.

I got the ecodiesel so I'm getting 27mpg combined. Towing is technically only 3500 lbs but they're rated for 5000 lbs in Europe and it's the same vehicle so...

Now that is the way to off road / rock crawl in style. Perfect vehicles for the mission!
