Jeff Conner’s 1994 Ford Ranger 4×4
Jeff Conner contacted me through our facebook page, and shared some photos of his 1994 Ford Ranger 4×4. Even with just a quick glance, how can you not like this Ranger riding on a solid front axle and 44-inch tires? Jeff wanted to build a rock crawler on the cheap, so he mounted the Ford […]

Eric Benner’s 1993 Ford Ranger 4×4
Forum member ‘ericbphoto’ (Eric Benner) brought his 1993 Ford Ranger Splash 4×4 to the 20th Anniversary Trail Ride in Ohio, and he was definitely not afraid to wheel it. I was surprised at how well the truck worked, and the fact that he never broke an axle shaft or locking hub wheeling it so hard. […]

Jeremy Fitzpatrick’s 1991 Ford Ranger
One of the trucks that quickly got everyone’s attention at the 20th Anniversary Trail Ride was Jeremy Fitzpatrick’s 1991 Ford Ranger 4×4. What really surprised many of us is that he actually took the Ranger off-road. We’re glad he brought it out for us to enjoy, and pretty cool to actually see him take it […]

The 'Loan Ranger' - 2019 Ford Ranger
The ‘Loan Ranger’ – 2019 Ford Ranger FX4
(Looks like a backdrop, but this photo was really taken in Colorado!) In March 2019, Ford loaned me a 2019 Ford Ranger FX4 to use for 6-months to celebrate 20-years of TheRangerStation.com. Ford allowed me to modify the truck as long as I didn’t drill any holes in it, or permanently mount anything to it. […]

PetesPonies 1983 Ford Ranger

Fire In The Hole!
‘Fire In The Hole’ Monster Ranger
Sometimes bigger can be better. Sometimes you just want to build something ridiculous for the fun of it. Even if it’s not practical to use every day. Forum member ‘parkrangerjeremy’ did just that. He had a 1993 Ford Ranger 4×4 that had a 6-inch lift, 3-inch body lift, and 35-inch Bogger tires, but he wanted […]

BlackBII’s 1989 Ford Ranger 4×4
Forum member BlackBII’s 1989 Ford Ranger 4×4 has been a fascinating build to follow in our forum. To the unobservant eye, it probably looks like a Ford Ranger with nothing more than a lift and larger tires. But there’s so much more to it… The Dana 28 front axle was replaced with a Dana 35 […]

First Drive: 2019 Ford Ranger On/Off Highway
On December 14th, I participated in a ‘Media Drive’ to finally test drive the 2019 Ford Ranger.

Darren Parsons Ranger Raptor
Darren Parsons Ranger Raptor
Darren Parsons posted his Ford Ranger project in our forum back in 2012. A lot has changed since then. Like many projects, they are always evolving. Looking at this Ranger, it may be confusing as to what it really is. It started life as a 1993 Ford Ranger. It was updated with fiberglass body panels […]
Ford Ranger Storm Concept views: 3934
If it wasn’t bad enough that Ford told us we weren’t going to get the Ford Ranger Raptor here in the United States, Ford has released a new Ford Ranger concept to add to that frustration. Introduced at the Sao Paulo International Motor Show this week, the Ford Ranger Storm is an off-road pickup concept […]

Jeff Simpson’s Duratech Turbo Ranger views: 6934
One nice thing about meeting with Ford Ranger enthusiasts, is that you never know what you’re going to discovered when you start looking at everyone’s truck. Such was the case when I saw Jeff Simpson’s (dangeranger93) 2001 Ford Ranger at the Dearborn Michigan Meet. At first glance, you may simply think this is just another […]
