So my fiance, me and a co-worker of mine went out to whats called the Porter Pits north of Ferndale WA, had some really good fun runnin the trails and flexing out my stock 97 Ranger playing "follow the leader" I gotta say a stock 97 Ranger can wheel
Untill it comes to water... My co-worker-running a 84 Yota, 4 inch lift on 35's made it through in 2wd (all he has right now) so I thought I could make it through in 4wd just fine-keep in mind, the waters up to the Ford logo on the grille-first run did awesome then some more trails, then second run just as the sun was setting it happened. Hit the water a little too fast and BAM dead My co worker towed me out in 2wd (I died inside a little) After a few calls and getting the spark plugs pulled trailered my baby to another friends shop where she now sits and waits the diagnosis of really bad hydrolock or bent rods...
Guess where I'm going with this is ended up having 2 Yotas help me and a third as my DD. I'll try to upload pics but I'm computer retarded so it may just be on my profile not on this thread. And I'll probably be asking a LOT of help from y'all
