BUILT RANGER TOUGH!! LITTERALLY!!!
#26
I read about a couple of older folks here in the Cleveland area that were driving on city streets that had water on them, the next thing they knew the water rose and the streel level went down under a freeway ramp and their car was submerged and they both drowned. It only took them a short time to get into trouble. If they would have turned a different way, they would have survived.
Water can be very dangerous.

Rangers aren't designed to do this. They are designed to be a light work truck. Driving them in deep water is just asking for trouble. I'm just glad you did that to YOUR truck and not mine. That's also a good way to ruin your brakes.
It's not a submarine, it's a truck. Maybe next time buy a submarine and get your kicks.

How would it ruin your brakes?

back in the day yes, jeeps where made for offroad. 1980s + no, unless its ARMY issued type of thing.
You brakes get wet and they dry up in about 2 secs, how did that hurt them?
I think I would be more worried about getting water in my diffs, seals, bearings ect.

You've never had your brakes fail when they are wet ?? I have.
I drive on rainy days but I know to take it easy and drive slower than usually and leave more room for slowing down. Tailgating on rainy days is not a good idea. Even when the pavement is wet you can hydro plane. Never heard of that ??

Well I think everybody drives on rainy days, I have never had brakes fail from being wet or know anybody that has had their brakes fail from being wet. Hydroplaning has nothing to do with your brakes. So yes I guess I have heard of hydroplaning. However you still have not enlighten me on how the brakes become "messed up"

As for hydroplaning what does that have to do with brakes?

I spoke with my agent, who said, "it's a myth that your vehicle isn't covered when driving on a frozen lake"

In Minnesota your vehicle is covered by insurance if it falls thru the ice. this is due to the thousands of people who ice fish and actually live in makeshift "towns" on the larger lakes.

Okay you guys win, go drive your trucks down the middle of a river. See if I care. I'm outta here, and don't send me anymore e-mails requesting money for R-F decals, i don't belong here, I am not a mudder, and have no desire to have my stock truck lifted. I do not belong on this forum .
Sure, the majority of the people on here are 4x4s that has some sort of lift, even if it's just a tire lift by installing 31s. But there are also a ton of stockers and low rides.
I think the only people that really don't belong are people that don't contribute back what they take. Just ask, ask, ask and help anyone else.
