Thinking about getting another Ranger
Ok, so heres the deal. I regret selling my Ranger every single day lol.. I LOVE the fiddy, but its just too god dam big for anything(offroading wise) that i like
Im thinking about giving the Fiddy to the fiance to drive and possibly getting another Ranger for me. The Ranger will be double lifted, sitting on 35's if i so choose to get another Ranger.
My question to you all is, what would you do? Should i just lift the fiddy, and make it more off-road capable, or hand the keys to the fiance and get another Ranger and lift it?
If i go the Ranger route, it will be my DD and the fiddy will be the fiance's DD. I really love the fiddy, but i just think its tooo big to do any offroading other than mudding. I have a hard enough time getting the thing into and out of small parking lots let alone wheeling it lol..
SO, what would you do? And if i do go the Ranger route, would you guys go with the OHV or SOHV 4.0?
Thanks for the advice/oppinions guys!
Basically i am wanting something that i can use as a dd, and also take wheeling wherever without having to worry about not being able to fit.

well right now i am in florida, i leave for afghanistan in october, dont come back until the following september/october then going to Iowa. There are ALOT of little places to go wheeling back home, most places the f150 would fit(open fields, just mudding), but the places that alot of people have the most fun at are trails that the f150 wouldnt fit. Mostly jeeps/taco's go into these places.

ok, well ive talked to 5 different people and they have all said pertty much the same thing. I will have NO problems with the f150 back home. All of them actually told me to lift the f150 and through a huge winch on it so i can be the one to pull them all out lmao.
so i guess its keeping the f150. Sorry to post this thread, should have done the research first.

I defnitely respect what you guys do. My fiance's brother in law was special forces, capture and kill in iraq and he was deployed right after he got married for about a year, and then again after he had his first son. Horrible timing, and when you get used to shooting anyone that comes at you or causes problems its hard to come back to society. He doesn't even know how many people he has killed. Just shoot until they stop shooting back.
