Today I decided since the weather is warmer out that I would attempt to start my ranger thats sat with a dead battery since the fall. after some time with the battery booster she fired right up! It was nice to hear the old girl run again, cant wait for the snow to be gone so I can drive her!

purrs like a kitten! still need to get a new battery before spring though.

 

Sounds good!

 

Why wait soo long to crank the beast?

 

thanks!

because the battery is junk and its been under about 2 feet of snow for some time. plus i had to snowblow the area around it so i could get to it.

 

nice, moisture in that left rear tail light?

 

yes sir, just noticed that today too. not happy.

 

atleast I'm not alone

 

I thought you kept it in the garage all winter?

 

yeah, ill try and figure out why its doing that in the spring.

it usually does, i didnt have access to a garage this year though so the poor thing sat outside. it hurts me a little each time i look at her sitting out in the cold. lol

 

nice! love that truck. How many miles does it have since you dont drive it in the winter? sounded like she wanted to shut off after the 2nd rev haha

15x10's right?

 

thanks man id have to check but its got right around 90,000 on it. it did stumble a little after i revved it a bit, i assume its because its sat for so long, had some cob webs in it. lol wheels are 15x8

 

hahaha yeah its gotta be from sitting for a while out in the cold. since every truck i've found so far for a replacement is a stepside i got curious for how wide yours are, looks great with 8's on the steppie

 

thanks man. i was worried i wouldnt like the 12.5's on those rims when i got the new tires but i really like them. they do fit the stepside well.

PS. i cringe every time i see your truck in your sig, so sorry about your rig man, i really liked that truck.

 

Nice! i like the placement of your ORV sticker, those new ones are so much more convenient than the old ones. sounds good!

 

yeah it looks great on there. not too wide but enough poke to look badass haha.

I also hate seeing my sig but it is what it is. I miss it and its gonna be rough starting all over again but I'll get it done lol

 

yeah i just wish they didnt have sucj pansy ORV colors. lol last year my ORV was on a magnet that i would slap on my tailgate for the day and then take it off and throw it in my glovebox. lol ill do that again this year i think.

ill be watching for your next project truck. youre looking for a steppie right?

 

I'm mainly just looking for a vermillion red truck haha most of them are stepsides so i have a low chance of finding a styleside. I'm starting to like oxford white edges though.
....I will definitely be getting a ranger I ordered a body lift already and i don't even have a truck but shhhh lol

 

well im glad youll be back in a ranger. hope to see youre new rig at the dunes when you get it. good luck with the truck search.

 

I'll be there but i doubt it will be this year so most likely summer of 2012. I owe like 2500 in fees to the state so i'll be broke since im still in college lol

 

Holy crap. i've never thought of that. now i don't have to buy 3 for each of my machines. now i gotta find a magnet!

 

yeah, it worked awesome. no one ever noticed it unless i pointed it out to them.

 

Man I love your truck soo simple but amazing lol glad she's purrin again

 

thanks Stu, im glad to hear her run too. i feel bad shes been neglected for so long.

 

Sounds and looks good man. I hear ya about seeing one of your rigs buried in the snow when there's no access to a garage. My Bronco was buried in the snow for 2 weeks or so while we were going threw a 0 to -25 cold spell.

 

Still diggin the exhaust.
