Hailing from the 3rd Coast

[TX Ranger]

Hello all!

I recently downsized from a 2006 F150 4x4 5.4L to a 2002 Ranger 2wd 3.0L and have spent the last week or so lurking amongst ya'll, looking, searching for info.

Hopefully I'll bring some new questions, answers, humor to the plate.

I've been lightly wrenching (lifts, brakes, headers, etc.) for little over a decade. I'm an "old timer" over at Ford Truck World, but that place is asleep and who ever owns it seems to be more interested in selling me Mopar, 401k, or insurance products than actual information. You guys seem to be legit. And I'm stoked about that

I'll be seein ya'll around,

TX Ranger

we don't take kindly to lurkers around here!







nah i'm just kidding, welcome to the site! lots of good info, and some useless info... but you will usually know who says that, when you read it...

You scared me for a sec, nice strategy with the space between msgs, I didn't catch that second part till later.

Thanks for the welcome

lol no worries buddy! most people on here are quite playful! don't take too much of the "drama" seriously, because it's probably just kidding around...

it really is a great group of friends... there's even one or 2 people who i've told if they were ever in town, they would be welcome to stay at my house, and i've never met them in person...

(and several more i would take in, if they needed a place and asked)

It's pretty yuppy at this stage, infact, it's completely, absolutely, bone stock. Though I am missing the cheesy chrome rim covers on the rear tires...MOD #1 !!!

TRS newb question: What's a RBV and who's the nice lady modeling the t-shirts?!

RBV = Ranger Based Vehical... So a Mazda B Series or a Bronco II & Explorers.

I think Vanessa but i could be wrong, and she would be Jim Oaks (founder of TRS) Wife.

And Welcome To TRS!!

yeah, that's vanessa, she's actually a member on here from time to time, though i haven't personally seen any posts from her recently...

 

[ranger_mclaren]

Nope, not since she and Jim have been deciding about what to do about her EMT job. Seems they have really had there hands full and havn't had the time to really get online. Cause if you remember she was only online during here late night 24 hr shifts.

Welcome to the forums BTW glad to have ya!

Can ya'll see my profile pic? I can't... Or do I have to go through a probie period, and prove myself to have it activated after x amount of posts?

 

[--weezl--]

i can't see it, don't know about a probie pic... this is the first av i've ever had, and it was appointed to me at about 1300 posts...

profile picture is not what shows me in a coon skin hat, btw, profile picture is the picture on your profile... the one with the coon skin hat is your avatar
