My credo
the grey-t escape
I think he means that the headlights themselves were straight in their mount, but the rear sagging caused the whole truck to point slightly nose-up.
yep and the adjusters were froze.

Damn, this brings back some memories.

I messed up the transfer case trying to climb a steep hill.

I about sunk it in a swamp with some other guys and their trucks playing" let's see who can get the furthest in the swamp."

Remember that scene in "Empire Strikes Back" when the x wing was sinking in the swamp? You get the idea.....

I was speeding one night,passed a cop (slow responding cop), luckily, we were at a location that had some powerlines so I turned off onto those after I saw him hit his blue lights and took off. He tried to follow....some. Luckily, it wasn't bad enough to get out and lock the hubs, but it made me sweat. I was worried I was gonna get stuck without being in 4WD. He gave it a hell of a try, I'll give him that!:icon_cheers:



I remember one time I had an F150 and got in a race with some jerks at a redlight. I could have sworn they flipped me off at the light. anyway, it was on like a chickenbone. We took off on a 4 lane. I buried the speedohmeter by the time we got to the next light, which converted to a 2 lane. I was laughing so hard when I blew past them (yes, they were racing too) and about sh!t myself when they turned on a blue light. I did not think it was possible for the human jaw to drop so far or to go from such a rush to such a sinking low.
They said they were doing 130mph when I passed them.


I could go on and on.....


One summer a friend of mine bought a car for $300. We spent a lot of time getting it running.
So, one night I had a date with a stripper, she was gonna hook him up too....
I had a quart of moonshine and the place, he had the car and the time.

Only he didn't have a license, title, insurance, or experience in playing it cool when the cops get behind you. He's too busy paying attention to the cop behind that he runs a stop sign.....hard. The 'shine splashes out all over the inside of the car....and us. his muffler falls off in the middle of the road, and the cop hits the blue light.....




But this wasn't in a ranger so....maybe I'll save the results for another forum.....:icon_rofl:

How the hell do they get them IN your airbox? o_O
There's a small circular hole at bottom of airbox, or they get in through my unscrewed airbox. The clips still work

You should still be able to turn the headlights down and make them point in the right spot. Unless the springs were so bad they maxed the downward adjustment, at which point it probably wasn't safe to drive anyway.

Much humor has been derived from reading this thread, good job! lulz....

The most redneck thing I've done in my Ranger? That would probably be throwing some mud tires on a bone stock 2wd Ranger and taking it into Wellsville with TRS several years back. Oh, yea, the truck was nearly brand new too, lol.



Oh, yea, and when I got back to college (after being stopped by a cop who made me clean my lights and plate off, lol), I put it on display. So much for the pretty pavement pounder theory.....
