Hi guys! It's been a while, but I have a question: I need to find a new floor pan for my beloved '94 Ranger. I called LMC (they dont have it :bawling: ) and my local dealer (the part is "obsolete" from Ford, whatever that means :dunno: ). Any ideas for other sources? It's just the driver's...

Hi guys! It's been a while, but it's been fun. I've started a new job driving a school bus, but over last weekend, I entered my Ranger into the local Kwanis car show. Sadly, my (possibly) one of-a-kind 2.3 with factory 4x4 didn't win any prizes, but a nice older gentelmen snapped some REALLY...

I had a job interview this morning and I have a new job starting July, 11th. Hide your kids because Hopman will be a... SCHOOL BUS DRIVER! :3gears: :yahoo: I'm psyched because it's been the first job interview I've had in a while and I get the job!!! I already have my CDL-A, so they'll...

Here's the linkage: For Ending Ranger Production in Dec. I hope this is wrong. But Ford should be doing something for a replacement. Heck, I'd take a "world Ranger" with an Ecoboost & a stick shift! They need to make the Ranger cool again.

Okay guys, it's getting time where I need to sell my beloved '94 2.3 4x4 & get something that isn't as rusty. The good news is that I've come across a 2000 (I think) Mazda B2500 2wd with a stick (regular cab & XLT trim) with a bad engine (the shop says the #4 cylender had a hole in it) with...

... Who's 62 and pedaling across the country starting July 1st. Yep. He's celebrating his retirement from working for the State of NH by riding from Seattle, WA to Bar Harbor, Me along Route 2 & it's Canadian counterpart. He's doing this BY HIMSELF and is camping along the way. He'll need all...

I just got some pretty crappy news a while ago. My dad has lost his job for a company he's worked for for the past 10 years. I don't know a whole ton of details, but it's party to due with one of the managers. If anybody knows of any openings for heavy equipment mechanics and/or hydralic...

I was up at the NH Motor Speedway for the "Loudon Annoying" 24 Hours of LeMons over the weekend. One of the officals set up a camera for a time-lapse of one team bebuilding their rollcage FROM SCRATCH overnight. U0fQvU5mros I know it's not a Ranger, but it is a pretty cool piece of fab.

It's been a cazy few weeks, and I feel like I've been pulled in about 20 different directions at once. It started towards the end of March when ski season and my job ended. The next week, I was out hunting at had about a half dozen interviews and people interested in me, and that's on top of...

I just was looking at the new issue today and low and behold, there was a buying guide for Rangers. Specifically, they say look for a clean gen 3 w/ a stick and 4.0. It was a very well done piece.

Well my Ranger's clutch is FINALLY fixed, to the tune of $900 :bawling:, but I got a few surprizes from the mechanic. Sadly, the factory clutch has not been in there for 170k as orgionally thought. Turns out one of the other owners had replaced it around 100k and from what the mechanic told me...

Well it's cold in New Hampshire this morning, at least by NH standards. -10 degrees F in Concord, but up north it was closer to -30. By Minnesota standards, -10 is t-shirt weather! :icon_rofl: Thankfully, my trusty Ranger started. Good thing I bought a new battery a couple of weeks ago!

Well guys, I'm wiped emotionally & physically. My job at the ski area is going well, but my Ranger decided that now it would let the clutch go. Speaking of the jobs, its been insane!!!!!! Between the crazy people and high winds, this week has been nuts. I'm still alive, but feel like I need...

Well guys, it's been a while. Life has been nuts and I don't have acess too the the net that often, but such is life. Anyway, one of my roomates is planning a solo, self-contained, cross country bicycle trip in July 2011. He's riding from Seattle back to NH. His planned royte is across US-2 and...

Well, I have some good news to report on the job front. I'll be working at Pat's Peak (a local ski area in Henniker, NH) running lifts this winter. I worked there about 5 years ago (before I had my Ranger) on the Fun Squad. So, back to my roots. I'm psyched. Now all we need to pray for is snow...

It's it just me but does nearly everybody who drives a Ranger follow some unwritten code about being honest, friendly, and willing to help a friend in need? :icon_confused: It kinda hit me today on the way home from work. I passed a silver Ranger w/ his hazards on on I-93 north today. I felt...

Well, I guess Tractor Supply doesn't want me. I got canned today. On the upside, I had an invterview with a mobile shredding company yesterday and talked to three other places today.

I had one of those "truck and driver being as one" expeirences the other night. It was funky and cool at the same time. I was coming home up NH-121 after having dinner with my grandparents, and it was about 7 PM when I started heading home from Atkinson. Now, I've driven 121 many times going...

I know it's been a while (about a month) since my last post, but I assure you, Hompan and his trusty "Flying Eggplant" are still alive & kicking. I've found a place to live (renting a bedroom from a lady in my church) and in a couple of weeks start a new JOB :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: at a NEW...

Well guys, the last piece of my puzzle has fallen into place. I'm moving today. I'll be renting a bedroom from a friend of mine who I go to church with. She's happy because she needs the money (about $400 a month) and she won't be renting to a stranger, just somebody strange. :icon_twisted...
