Lets see some Rangers doing work

[racsan]

worked it too much and broke the strap dragging a minivan through a 6" deep snow coverd road.

truck with trailer in the summer

truck with trailer in winter, trailer is halfway filled with oak firewood that has been split.

another in the winter with the trailer, at a craft show, not much weight at all in this load.

the rear suspention with coil helpers, aside from axle capacity, makes it a 3/4 ton truck. coils only make contact with the frame at about 300 pounds of load in the bed, so the ride is still good empty.

att home after "working" its way across a muddy lot at the local fairgrounds.

Doing its usual duty hauling tools and fuel around the farm:

Usually it doesn't look that good and usually when it is getting down and dirty I don't really want to get out to take pictures.

For heavy lifting:

That engine is still in the truck and probably about in the same place but in the other end of the truck.

I wish I had a pic of when I drug the manure spreader out of the lot, it had to have been close to the bumpstops... the truck was too covered in unmentionables to be too excited to check though.

I worked at one job were on three different occasions on three different had the following in the back of my truck:

- High-end groceries
- 40 cases of chicken
- about 100 empty stacked green shipping bins and two-wheeled dolly strapped to the front bumper!

I was wiling to use my truck for work because the boss gave me his credit card to pay for a tank of gas each time.

Also my truck sees it's fair share of duty moving friends' stuff.

Here is my 05 sport trac loaded to the max. Hauled that trailer around for a summer with that truck before we sold it and bough the superduty.

when you say work, do you mean like commercial applications of the truck, or the truck physically working? i've got lots of pics and videos of my truck doing hill climbs and such...

Mainly offroading because that would be the main purpose of whatever ranger i get but flexing, hill climbs, mudding, hauling, ect whatever you got i would like to see it

How'd you manage that chunk of carnage???

 

[crawlin91]

How'd you manage that chunk of carnage???

Mud pit to hill climb...my radius arm ripped out of its mount and the driveshaft separated at the slip. We couldnt winch the truck out backwards without ripping my driverside beam off because it was anchored in the mud, so had to winch it up and over the hill.

 

[ranger530]

unfortunately i was unable to take a picture because the deep mud would suck my boot of if if tried to get out but you can take my word for it..... i took my ranger through a newly drained quarry that was like quick sand no problem.... if you look at my profile pics you can see the front end of the ranger about to go down the hill at night to do a little bit of night exploring. in another pic you can see the dragline that dug the quarries that is right next to me. IT WAS FUN!!!

 

[lil_Blue_Ford]

Yup, two motors (2.9L and 4.0L), A4LD auto trans, BW1354e transfer case, complete D-35 TTB front, complete 7.5" rear, spare axle shafts, two toolboxes (~100# total), Y-pipe, pushbar, radiator, misc small stuff, and an 80# bag of Portland Cement. I wonder what that all weighed out to....

The YJ is on a tow bar hooked to the back of the Ranger.

Around a cubic yard of limestone.... hauled several loads like that....

Yea, I took a 2wd and played in the mud....


I have some other pics of my Ranger being used, but don't have them hosted anywhere ATM.

 

[shane96ranger]

Does a Ranger trailer count?

 

[Sunk]

Puttin' the full size ram to shame.

You know, they make racks for that....

 

[TheTopher]

You know, they make racks for that....

Racks are for the weak!

 

[Sunk]

Pfft, you're just jealous!
