Kinda noob from Western Kentucky

[Suwanee Broncos]

Long time lurker, two time member gone astray. My first truck in 2001 was a 1988 Ranger 4x4, I ran across this forum and learned a lot. 2.9 5 speed, done a 3" body lift, lighting, Daystar coil spacers, 33's solid aluminum Ultra wheels, and a lot of cosmetic stuff. I don't even recall my screen name from back then, I had a few more Rangers over the years. They always held a special spot in my heart. In 2017 I traded a S&W .38 Spl for a 1987 Bronco II with a frozen and cracked block. I replaced the engine and drove it as a daily for a bit before deciding it was time to build it the way that I'd wanted to build my first Ranger. Since then it's undergone a 4" Superlift suspension lift, 2" body lift, welded axles with 4.10 gears (still 7.5") 33" tires on old school Centerline Hellcat wheels (that I wanted but couldn't afford when I was a kid!) After that I swapped in a 302, T-18, and 205 transfer.

I've traded through and parted out about a dozen Bronco II's and Rangers since this project started. Some drivers, some not. I have two 15 year old boys. One with a 2000 Explorer 4.0 and another with a 1990 Bronco II that we are currently 4.0 swapping, he's already done the manual swap himself.

I live in Western Kentucky at the northern end of Land Between the Lakes, home of lots of good public land wheeling.

Looking forward to learning and sharing.

Welcome aboard!

Kind of a bummer, a couple years ago the annual TRS Roundup was at LBL twice.

2023 Fall Adventure - Land Between The Lakes - The Ranger Station

For 2023 TheRangerStation.com hosted a Fall Adventure at Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area instead of an Off-Road Round-Up.

Man, both years I was out there and never knew yall were around, then saw on Facebook that I had missed it once I got home. I'm so close that I look across Barkley Lake from my bedroom window and see LBL.
