TRS Event 2026 Carlisle Ford Nationals

[red Ranger (Sarah)3.0L]

Looks great from here.

Thank you ! It’s an 03 that I have transformed into a splash and I’m doing a 98 to 2000s facelift on it soon

registered this morning!

I'm going to try and make it out to Ford this year. I typically only make it to the Truck event. Question is.....what Ranger to bring?

Think “tow bar” or “tow dolly.”

My son and I are going down in his 23 Ranger Supercab again, it'll be parked at the school beside the fairgrounds and not on the show field. We first went in 1997, skipped 98 when he graduated, skipped 2010 when his buddy got married, and missed one year during the pandemic. It takes about 8 hours for us to get there.

Oh no, why no show? We want you and the truck! What gives?

Can’t you dig into your shed of miracles, like mine, and sell a couple old tires or such and get the registration fee up?

Man I can’t wait to go I have a new face lift I want to get done before the show !

An old girlfriend did that. Don’t you have to wait a couple of months before you do anything tremulous and taxing?

ALERT!!! Lincoln and I are probably coming in the Road Ranger again! I might even have the cute little brunette “in tow” (well, actually in the cab with me and Lincoln).

If you follow my posts, I’ve been having problems with the Road Ranger since I left the Carlisle Ford Nationals show field last year, literally starting on the ride home and ever since. I think I finally figured it out and got it fixed by swapping the cam sync about a week ago. I’m cleaning it up right now, planning on driving the hound out of it for the next couple weeks to make sure it’s running OK. Well, I won’t really drive Lincoln out, but I’ll test drive it a lot. If it checks out, I’ll sign up in time to get the discount. And, I’m working on a half dozen+ not–so–subtle upgrades: new (old) fold-out mirrors, running boards, improved cab over lights, fog/driving lights in the lower valance, and maybe new CB antennas. The step trailer will have an improved storage box and maybe an additional one under the deck, a rack underneath holding loading ramps for the back, a portable winch on the front, and a secret surprise that has to do with Scary Baby.

I’m hopefully going to show in my class* and win another award.

*my class: “2WD crap that doesn’t fit into any other normal category because it’s so weird class”

And I might not make it for this year, but hopefully for 2027: Hopefully, I’ll have my converter dolly built, and the second trailer finished, and I’ll be driving up “doubles.” I’m still checking some of the DOT rules outside of Georgia on that one. If I run the doubles, I’ll be in the big rig class or ???

And hey, everybody, if I can drive the 11 or 12 hours up there, there’s no reason why 90% of the rest of you guys and gals can’t make it! It’s a HOOT, and @JohnnyO does a great job hosting and he knows all about the features for the weekend. Come on over!!

BTW, now that I know the Road Ranger might be running, that’s why I started posting wise ass comments today. I’ve got a couple of months to make up for!

Can’t wait!

His truck is his daily driver and he's not as focused on keeping it detailed as I am with my truck and Mustang. After the 8 hour ride to get there cleaning up the truck is low on our list.

My plan is to bring the 2019 in all of it's overlanding glory. That way, I can camp at the campground and have an easy setup and tear down. I'm thinking of showing up Friday night for Saturday and Sunday. It depends on how things play out as to when I arrive.

EDIT:

I’m hopefully going to arrive during the day on THURSDAY, and stay in my hotel. I’ll be with TRS on Friday and on Sunday, and on the show field on Saturday.
