Awesome job man. Very impressive. I bet some seen a ranger roll out and laughed to themselves thinking you'd be an easy mark for them to gain a win. SURPRISE!

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
you didnt break anything? i've thought about doing a tough truck competition around here but im afraid of the carnage...



My truck was a stock 94 Ranger 4X4 4.0 5spd.


thats about as tuff as it gets....especially all stock save for some 31's and with stouter springs




the video links say private when i click them.

The huge cloud of smoke is kind of a hit something was seriously wrong with that dually, a Ranger just doesn't have the weight to out pull a full size truck. In any kind of pull superior traction will win. If his engine couldn't produce or his transmission couldn't put the power to the ground he should have just stood on the brakes and held you... With more tires and more weight he should have had no problems...

A win is a win though...


I dunno man, I've pulled loaded and dead-headed 3/4 ton trucks out of nasty stuff before. Just sitting on the brakes doesn't always keep someone from pulling you away.
