Have you been here for 15 or 20 years or more?

[Jim Oaks]

The Ranger Station is 25 years old this year. I doubt any of you have been here for 25 years, but is there anyone here that's been here for 20 years? What about 15?

22 years.

Well I've only been an actual member since 2020. But I did use the site several times when I would ask Google for help on my 05 Sport Trac. So probably started stalking around the site in about 2010 but then didn't come back from 18 to 20 since I didn't have a Ranger for that period. Once I bought the 2020 this was the first place I jumped on. Actually found the T.A.T. vids on YouTube that reminded me when searching Rangers offroad.

I've gotta be close, I first started in the Ranger online world in September of '00 when I was fresh in college and found fordranger.com back in the olden times then migrated to RRORC and TRS then BroncoII.org with various life breaks through the years... I miss the good old days of AllanD, DaveR, Ric/Redshred, BillG, Bogger, Pattsy, MechanicMatt and some of the others... the olden days were simpler, I still remember refreshing the FR.com page and figuring out how to tab through the posts that just had a space as a link with 4 separate boards for everything, was a mess but a good time... those were also back in the AOL and MSN messenger days...

Similar timeframe here. I'm not sure exactly when I joined TRS, but rrorc was still a thing as well as FR.com. By the time I went up l to Sparks place (Fall of 03 maybe?) I'd been here long enough to have been a mod for a couple of years.

Edit - Fall of 03 for sure. Didn't realize we still had the pictures and write up on the site. Just found a few with my old Bronco II in them at that event.

Ive been around for awhile, not sure how long. there was a issue at ine time when everything got reset and Im not sure how long Id been here at that point, Im not sure when I discovered TRS, ‘91 was when I got my first ranger (the ‘88) 2003 I bought the green ‘93 and I know I was here for most of its 14 year ownership. I just looked and the first post Ive found that I made was on 8/24/07, Im not sure when the forum reboot happened, but I recall it and how a lot was lost & post counts got reset. A couple of other forums I was on that were ranger related dont exist anymore.

Officially 16 but I've been visiting since 2003 When I got my current 98. Sure could have used this info resource when I had the old 83. That one broke alot.

Edit: I may have mispoken... wouldn't be the first time. I had the 83 from mid 93 until 2002. I think I did visit here a bit when I was having some timing belt issues around the turn of the century.

I’m still a newbie at almost exactly 8 years.

 

[RangerFabWorks]

I just hit 15 years. Joined in 09.

 

[rubydist]

I joined in 16, after RPS went away.

 

[19Walt93]

I think I joined in 2018 or 19. When I bought the shell of my Ranger it had(and still has) a TRS sticker on the back window.

I can’t pin down a year, It was early… there were around 1000 members.

Math says I signed up 16 years ago, pretty sure I was grabbing info before that
