You know you own a Ranger when guys driving 1/2 tons ask to use your bed as a step-stool to get stuff from their bed.

When you have a 3" lift kit and your truck is still easier to get into than a stock Colorado.

When guys guessing the model year are off...by a decade.

you know you drive a RVB when:

you have to tell people "Yes, it is suppose to look like this"

then people respond by telling you it'd be better to sell it for scrap.
I know this one from the last '88 project. It went that way all the same.

You know you own a 2nd-3rd gen when you over heat between the 'O' and 'R'.

You know you own a Ranger when someone says you need a new car, and you have to fight the urge to punch them in the face.

You know you own a Ranger when it turns into a family thing, with you, your dad and your Grandfather all owning Rangers at the same time.
Guilty.

You know you own a Ranger when your neighbors have given in to the fact that there are some nights that they will lose some sleep on account of you grinding or beating on some stubborn part on your truck.

I know I own a ranger when all I have on my mind is what to modify next.

You know you own a Ranger (or at least spend too much time on TRS) when your shop foreman asks you questions about his RBV build.

when it stis in your garge for 10 years because you can't bring yourself to part with it. So you get it going and then sell it, then regret it for a long, long, long time.:bawling:

When you get a relatively new F150 and you plan on still keeping it on your insurance to give it to your 15 year old kid.

This and the Harley. I think my neighbors are glad I'm only home 1 weekend a month.

When your step stool for cleaning/working is taller than your full size buddies.

You know you own a Ranger when you merge on the highway at 50 miles per hour!

you know you own a ranger when you check the gas every time you stop to fill the oil (although that might just be a 2.9 thing)

when you pull a fullsize dodge out of a hole while still in 2hi.

when you watch a chevy 1500 z71 with a 3in lift and 33's get stuck in the tire tracks you just left behind

when you have 3.35 a/c (3 windows, 35mph)

when you climb through the rear window to unlock your doors bc you have better things to work on than the door locks.
