Well i finally got my ranger out of winter storage and it was nice to drive her again. feels like sports car compared to my F-150 although the ride isnt near as good. lol i have a couple mod ideas for her right now, the stabilizer bars are coming off to make the ride smoother off road, limiter straps will be added to the front to keep the shocks from bottoming out and i have to rig up a mount for my scangauge II. i couldnt resist snapping a few pics of her and the F-150. the trucks need a bath though.























im unhappy the ranger has to live outside, but i will soon be building a carport off the garage for it to sleep in out of the elements.

Just kick the Chevy out, the Ranger is way more deserving of the garage.

why put the ranger in storage isn't that more equipped for winter or you don't want it to rust out from under you haha
