Hello everyone,
My name is Cameron and I have been a Ranger owner for over 5 years. My first Ranger was a 2001 2WD XLT. I recently purchased a 4WD FX4 LVL 2 and intend on turning it into a Pre-runner/Off-road hybrid. I am new to Pre-running, so if there are any tips or advice you could give me, that would be great.

Welcome to TRS

Usually Pre-runners are 2WD, but "pre-runner" has taken on its own meaning now

In the beginning of off-road circuit racing when team race trucks started to cost $20,000+ the drivers would often take an old beater 2WD truck and run the course in it to see what to watch out for, so he was "pre-running" the couse, and it didn't really matter if the old truck got beat up/crashed during the pre-running, that was the point of doing it in an older cheaper truck

But as guys will be guys, teams would often race their pre-runners, lol, its got an engine? I bet mines faster, lets race

So the Pre-runner was born, and like yours, they can be very very nice trucks and 4WD
Common attributes are quickness/speed, long travel suspension, light weight, and larger diameter tires
