First Gen VS second

[85_Ranger4x4]

Does the different dash/collum have much bearing on legroom?

These 60/40's are pretty similar to stock buckets and seemed very doable.

If it does... it probably isn't much. Been too long since I've sat in a first gen though.

Is that a slice of cheese on the floor?

 

[Dirtman]

DIBS!!!!!

On the cheese, not the truck...

The other side was just as... seasoned.

The owner probably had to scrap it to pay for his tetanus treatments...

Half of it is probably still in the guys driveway. It was dropping chunks as I was pulling a wheel off it.

Damn skippy. She had another 100-150k in her easy.

..... 100-150k *feet* that is....


Maybe inches!

It was weird. Check out the rockers and cab corners in the interior picture, I have seen much worse in less cancerous trucks.

I didn't crawl under because it was muddy and I didn't care... Frame was decent though.

I have never seen a ranger box that far gone though.

I'm just a medium height dude who has no problem with leg room in either interior style... although I did talk to a guy who was like 6'7 and drove a Bronco II. He said that the first gen was much more comfortable for him. Something about how the dash is angled gives very tall people more room was his opinion.

It is hard to say, the second gen has a different shaped dash and I wouldn't say that the steering column might be shorter too.

The stupid steering wheel is what killed the Explorer and EB BII buckets.
