Have you been here for 15 or 20 years or more?

[JohnnyO]

Been here since 2002 and on several off-road runs when Jim lived in Ohio and not that far from me. Took a break for several years when I was driving Sport Tracs and spending my time on Sport Trac boards.

Is that good or bad thing?

Well, I've used the site several times over the years. I'm not even realizing there was a forum. First, when my speedometer quit working on my 98. Later, I will replace timing chains on my 05. All just lead here by the Google search. I was out of a Ranger till Dec 2020. I was watching YouTube and came across @Jim Oaks trip on the Trans-American Trail. Guess that was early 2021 when I finally joined. Hard to believe you were all lurking here the whole time I struggled through multiple Ranger issues over the years haha. Glad to be part now though. Oh and Thank you by the way. I was able to fix both those issues with the tech sections to help and several more little things.

So, I'm the reason your wife is afraid you're going to go live in your Ranger. LOL.

I joined in Sept or Nov of 2001 - wasn't prepared to realize that it's been more than 20 years

I'll make a registry for next year. I think the 25th anniversary is silver?

They included him and the forum along with a few of the staff in the launch of the new Ranger and loaned him one, which he used on the TAT and some other things to promote the new truck. So, If I'm mathing right, that would have been 2020.

I found this place and B2.org in the fall of 2001 stayed on B2.org for the most part.

The launch thing was early 2018, the Loan Ranger was at the 20th which would make that 2019.

I was on another forum, that is now apparently dead, for a while before moving over to here.

So with Jim's join date, I'm guessing August 2nd 2000 was the date this version of the site went online?
