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:

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*

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...

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.

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.
