You know you own a Ranger when...

[tmcalavy]

YKYOAR when other Ranger owners at work, neighborhood, or even public parking lots come and find you to tell you that your truck is doing strange stuff...like groaning, puking oil/fluid, or that you just left your lights on...no experience with cheby or turdota guys doing this so it must be some kinda club?

How about when the only vehicles you pay attention to on the road are rangers.

When you dump 10,000 into it and your neighbors still call it a piece of shit.

..... And it still has a oil leak.

That is almost not really funny.

Does that really work? I consider that EVERY FREAKING TIME I fill my truck up but I've never actually decided that it would be worth it (granted I'm considering 93 - highest octane I can find in UT besides the 114 at the raceway I don't even know why I haven't done it yet actually....

Worked for me... My girl's on a strict diet of 89 grade non-ethanol from the sane exact station, and from the same exact pump every week.

Wow, threw 91 in there twice this week and since then I'm not hearing any pinging and I'm getting about an extra 60 miles per tank!

Fixed

And I get asked what kind of weird contraption my front end is all the time. Once an NTB "mechanic" told me they can't do alignments on custom axles :/

You know you own a Ranger when you leave it unlocked with the keys in the cab and it never gets stolen.

You know you own a Ranger when...

You have the ENTIRE wiring harness colors memorized out of the manual because you had to replace the rear lamp connector that rots out behind the license plate lamp, and all the brittle wiring in the engine compartment because back in the 80's they didn't use weather proof electrical connectors.

 

[racsan]

you know you own a ranger when: you notice other older rangers with the back corner on one side or the other drooped down and you know they need a new spring shackle/hanger...and you know what its gonna cost them in parts-cause youve already done your own!

 

[90longbed]

you know you own a ranger when you have a cracked and leaking windshield, rust, dents on every panel , a non working fuel gauge and love driving it

 

[det107]

Only then I knew I was definitely a Ranger owner when I couldn't locate the timing marks (sanded the rust off & still not showing up)-

A couple of times. Cause that's how long you've owned the truck,and live in the salt belt of the U.S.

 

[1994Ranger$$$pit]

You know you own a Ranger when:

You've owned the truck so long the instrument panel lights are starting to burn out.

 

[simpler=better]

You know you own a Ranger when people make fun of you for driving a little truck, but you don't cause its awesome!

You know you own a Ranger when you can rebuild 40% of your truck for less than $1000.

You know you own a Ranger when a part may fall off of it every day, but finding another part is as easy as looking on the side of the road.

You know you have a 3.0l Ranger when you have half the horsepower as a fullsize truck but only get 2 MPG better on a good day.

You know you own a Ranger when you take your brother off-road and he says "my YJ couldn't do this."
