there used to be many many rangers like his in the area...and still are.
in my teens and 20's i did quite a few 302 conversions...when i got to my mid 30's i slowed down to nearly nothing..
all the cool guys i looked up to and helped and learned from did crazy shit...svo, big blocks with m2 or aero front ends ect..
its how i know dakota racks steer 351 cleveland tib rangers good enough...
the cool guys were aged 50's and up. they had money and experience...
and the internet did not exist when i started doing this shit. they did not/do not tend put shit on the web, i think mostly because of how we are.
we dont gaf what people think.

I appreciate everyone that came out. Especially since it was last minute and not that warm. It was great meeting everyone, looking at everyone's trucks, and hanging out. The food was pretty good too. The hostess.....not so much.

that's my black 2005 2wd with 345,300+ miles. and yes, I do go around impersonating Santa Clause. but I only do it to get the list of the naughty girls.
the 4 wheelers wouldn't let me in their picture
just kidding, they're a great bunch

Nice meeting everybody today! Great group of people with some awesome RBVs.
And a picture of my truck for identification (I know I’m better with vehicles than names/faces haha).

I'd really like to see you start a thread and post photos and details of your truck.

Not very fun fact. The night Henry died flooding knocked out the hydroelectric plant and for all his wealth he died in a cold dark house.
