I know, kind of silly, but I have yet to meet someone who knows about TRS that I didn't meet from TRS (or other Ranger site).
Last night my boss and I (deployment, nothing funny going on here) were talking about Rangers and BII's and he asked me if I have ever heard of The Ranger Station.com
:D
Yep, I know that site a little. Though, I am a nobody here now :haha:
I have yet to meet a TRSer...... cept my wife ...... but I tirned her onto TRS.

Took me until a few weeks ago to finally meet someone from TRS at our scheduled offroad meet.
People think I'm nuts for liking a website, about Ford Rangers, so much... *shrugs*

wow...now there's a guy I haven't seen...er..seen post in a long time...what's up man!
I've met...2? no, 3 TRS'ers...sounds right....Raginranger and...uh...Roadkill? Don't know if he still goes by that...and D.T. Starr...
I've met several TRSers over the years at different meetings. Josh and Bill more than most.
However, the 1st was BillG. I still get a little anxiety when i think about that day. hehe.
Let me lay out the surprise meeting for y'all. Bill in his uniform with his badge in display... me just finding out that I was wanted up to state for several months of road racing like a day or two before. Actually, they didnt know it was me for sure, but my truck was profiled hard and it was a matter of time. Bill walks up my driveway, looks over my fence and asks if I'm Ric... oh yeah, I thought I was busted for sure.
No I dont race on public roads anymore...

I have only met one. Big04ranger. I sold him the front diff for his SAS swap.
Thats pretty funny Sidewalk.
The first person I met from here has been one of my best friends for like 4 years now...he actually worked with one my football teammates when I was in highschool.
Hey Sidewalk,
Know what you mean.
But I got it worse!
Talking to a friend at the university I work for,
mentioned going on line and getting useful info
at TRS from other Ranger fanatics.
HE LAUGHED AT ME! :mad:
Couldn't believe there was actually such a place
or that Ranger/B2 crazies exist. :no2:

I have met quite a few over the years from sites, but this is the first I met someone on the site who I didn't know on the site first.
Can't name them all, but I have passed out at Ric's and Andrew's house. Hell, Andrew's wife Crystal was nice enough to entertain me with lots of good sweet tea for several weeks :D

Heh - I still remember getting pulled over in the bronco for suspicion of DUI after dropping you off one night :shok::woot:
What's sad is that my wife has met more people from TRS than me just about - and she's not even on here :icon_twisted: (not like that, I hope :no2:)
Good to hear from you Josh :icon_cheers:

Met one at kal tire, didn't know it at the time, but he's on here now. I got laughed at by the guys at work for being a RBV fanatic until I outwheeled both their 3/4 ton's and a jeep. They were goin full throttle at stuff and gettin stuck through places that I was walking through at an idle in 2nd gear, low range.

I drive 100K a year all over the country (part time!) and have yet to see a ranger station sticker on anything and I make a point to look... but it ain't over yet.

Samsonite, where in Southern Indiana? I'm in louisville and travel up Hwy 151 often. There is a truck I see with a TRs decal on my way to Orange County.

Im near evansville... My truck doesn't have a TRS logo on it... my old one did, I sold it to a guy north of here, it was a blue gen1 extended cab with about 6" of lift..

I have yet to meet another TRSer, though I don't have many stickers on my truck yet. Just two. Have had a bunch of people ask about it though.
I so love my ranger! and this website!

I've met a few, they turned out to be really good friends. Todd, Evan, and Jrod-13 all go to school with me and are some of the few people I hang around with outside of school (mostly them and the people they've introduced me to).

I go wheeling with Mark (BLOODBANE) and Larry (Thumper 113, formerly Warrlord) and they turned me onto TRS. I had originally joined during the downtime, and just recently got back into it.
