You know you own a Ranger when...

[baddis]

When your rear anti-lock light is on

even when you don't have rear abs lol

 

[cody93]

you know you own a ranger when you tow a trailer with a ton of scrap mowers with manual steering and manual brakes... and didn't even skid or jackknife in traffic..

 

[6.2]

You know you drive a ranger when you maintain it properly and it gives you zero problems.

You know you own a Ranger when girls say "your back seat is way too small!"

And even though you are 6'3" and 290lbs you prove that it isn't

You know you own a Ranger:

when a friend who's also into them looks at your Odometer and asks "how MANY times has it rolled over?
Mine is showing 60,000 ish but when it reaches 000000 again that'll be 500,000 miles

You are discussing "frame off" rebuilds and the other guy knows to ask "WHICH frame off rebuild?"
(You've done it more than once)

You can claim with a straight face that you can list the parts on the truck which HAVE NOT been
replaced at least twice on the back of a single business card with a dull Crayon.

That you can write what has been replaced ONCE on the inside of a soggy matchbook cover
with the same crayon after slamming your writing hand in the hood latch.

When someone asks you how many engine swaps you've done on a particular truck and they
are EXPECTING a two digit number as a response.

When you look your neighbor straight in the eye and tell him that you can not only tow his
compact import truck to Chicago (from Pennsylvania) without stopping for gas (Dual tanks!),
but you'll get better mileage doing it than his truck gets driving on the highway... and you are
telling the unvarnished truth! (I got 15.98mpg TOWING a complete ranger back from Indiana)

When you have dual gas tanks and NEITHER gauge works.

When you are driving a 1993 Ranger and someone comments "I was sad to see they stopped
making those..." and you reply, "Yeah, 20years after this one was made"

When a friend comments you need a new truck and you reply " You said that
Four times already... every time you buy a new car" and the real joke is he
is the one that actually bought your Ranger new, and you also own the newer
one he replaced it with... AND he called you to tow his last two vehicles to the junkyard... (True Story)

When you meet a friend you haven't seen in a decade or more and they are surprised
you are still driving the same truck...


When you pass a guy climbing a hill on I-80 towing a truck like the one you are passing and he
tries to catch up and CAN'T (4.0 and 4.10's

When a friend climbs in for a ride to the junkyard looks around and starts laughing hysterically because the electronics (Two Way VHF/UHF Radio, the GpS the HF Radio and the Sony Stereo) in the truck are worth >10times (at a pawn shop) what the truck itself is worth.

When you've owned it so long that you've burned out an entire set of LED lamps in the instrument cluster.

 

[harbt95]

when your worn out 1995 2.3 with 200k miles holds 8k rpms one night when your boss ticks you off

when you sell your first one and miss it so much you go out and find one from the same year but ex cab and a 4.0 instead of a reg cab 2.3 both stepside 2.3 was converted to stepside and both 2 wd 5 speeds

and when you make a 65 mile trip on a quarter tank of gas but the odometer says you only went 8 miles

 

[Sweersa]

When no one breaks into your truck.

 

[Lil-Pony]

When your 30 year old power steering pump finally explodes. But never skipped a beat till the day of departure.

 

[Tlee1214]

Another one...
You know you a ranger when your clutch goes out on you after only 50k miles

Learn to drive a 5 speed lol

When you actually Believe that the TRS Decal Gives you 20Hp

When your 30 year old power steering pump finally explodes.

* and you enjoy the quiet.

 

[hoosier1104]

You know you own a Ranger when people look at you funny and say 'That does not have a 5.0 under hood. It would not fit.' You open the hood just to shut their pie holes and see the look on their face. (True story several times over)

 

[Mark_88]

When you actually Believe that the TRS Decal Gives you 20Hp

Yeah, it was only 18 on mine and when I smashed out the back window I lost my stickers in the process...and the truck has run crappy ever since...

I have a spare one and whenever I carry it with me the HP transfers over without even sticking it on the glass...so I now keep one in my tool box...

When people ask you, "Why you ever lift that?"

[racsan]

when coworkers ask "dont you want a newer truck?" and you say "nope, keeping my 21 year old one, it has many new parts id just have to replace on the next one"

 

[pocket-rocket]

When people ask why you haven't bought something newer and your response is "it's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, especially for $600", and the only thing you consider replacing it with is another Ranger or RBV.
