You know you own a Ranger when the owner of the local Junk Yard sends you a Happy Birthday card every year....

When you back into a parking space and there is always someone who says "You need an alignment".

OR....when all the experienced counter-people see you walk in & act like they ALL have shelves to restock---leaving the "new Guy" at the counter to help you...
better still, when they just move out of your way so you can come behind the counter and get exactly what you need, because they know its easier that making you try to explain it to them

You know you own a Ranger (or one of it's descendants) when it's 18 years old, and it's still less to fix it, than pay for a car payment.

You guys with stock rangers make me jealous. My truck is a money pit.

when you look at the rear frame and it looks like swiss cheese
Or when the whole frame looks like swiss cheese and you change it...:icon_rofl:
when you look at classified ads saying it has a v6 and you wonder which one
when you know whats involved in swapping every other motor to a 4.0
when you know what parts from what other years will fit and improve what you have just by looking at them

When someone tells you to get that Valve tick fixed and you respond "its been fine for the past 5 years"

When you meet other Ranger owners and ask them if they know about TRS.

You know you own a ranger, when you get your paycheck and only think about what you can buy for the truck.

you know you own a lifted ranger, when oil changes are done without a hoist

you know you own a ranger, when every other vehicle just doesnt fit you as well.

you know you own a ranger, when you spend more time with it then your girlfriend.

you know you own a ranger, when you can name the generations, differences in parts between years, and just looking at a ranger part tell what model year and type vehicle it came from.
