the concrete im talking about is on the other side of my truck you cant see it lol but thats why i went left was to get away from the concrete and ended up stuck! haha oh well made for a fun day!

 

We should get a group together and go off roading or mudding some time. I think it would be awsome to see a few or a bunch of rangers running trails.

Any one else like this idea? Maybe we can go some where and make a weekend of it and go camping or something?

Just an idea

 

Come to Midland.

 

whats out there and I would need a place to stay while out there

 

Wow, alot of arguements around here. haha! Like i saw someone say on a few pages back. It's all about Speed. MMMM.....speed. I've taken my 2wd places i never thought it could make it through. But, ofcourse there are many, MANY places that a 4x4 can make it, and I can't. I like the speed and driver skill that it takes to go off-roadin' in a 2WD. I mostly just use mine for racing and trail riding. Those are my preferences, thats all that matters to me. Enough with my rambling on........heres a pic of my 1999 2WD parked at my buddy's place.

 

i wish there were more guys with rangers within a 2hr drive of cincy so i could go off roading

 

i could come to midland lol will be there sunday to see my dad

 

this thread sucks. I saw EIGHT pages and thought SWEET! there's gonna be parts lists, pics, years and models that kits are limited to...I know what mod this thread needs..."thread delete"

or better yet, make a sticky for it and change it to blink rapidly in random colors and read: "want to thread-jack? COME HERE"

I feel bad for whoever started the thread, which I noticed was very nice about the first 3-5 pages of DUMP

 

OP never said anything about posting a parts list or model lol. Just wanted to see what 2wd rigs looked like. This is like "post a pic of your ranger" thread lol

 

yeah, I may have gotten a little excited/over the top with what I thought people might post in EIGHT pages...but still. the thread has like 2-5% pics...almost worthless, sad cuz the ones that are posted are good. it'd be worth starting over in a new thread.

 

pm the person if you have any questions about their rig would be my guess

 

I'm not really worried about it. Like I said tho, I was a bit agitated after reading all 8 pages of DUMP.

 

A couple more updated pics. I will be installing a 3" Suspension lift a week from today, SO I will post more then. Here ya go.









My mods so far, only:

3" PA Body Lift
33" Big Foots
Custom front bumper
4 KC's

Mods to come soon:
3" Suspension lift.
Rear locker
New Gears
Roof-Rack w/Basket
8 more KC's, 4 of them square
Custom rear bumper w/Tire mount
And much more......

 

I can't wait to see pics when you do everything. your truck is already off the hook! lovin it. keep this pics coming.

 

I'm not going to get into the 4X2 vs. 4X4 argument but I can tell you that I am amazed at what I can do in my Ranger ever since I put a Powertrax No-Slip Locker in my truck. It has made a night and day difference vs the stock open diff. Aside from the locker all I have done to the truck that would make it more off road worthy is a T-bar crank and I put some 255-70-16 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires on it.

Here are some picks from today

How much did the locker run you?

 

You didnt stop reading after about the 2cd page and start scanning through to see if you could find the info you're looking for? That is your fault

 

you could say that. but it was my "first" day and since I had read so much I just kept reading cuz I figured I'd might miss something. but no, I didn't really miss anything at all. And like I said, once I saw 8 pages I was estatic thinking maybe there'd be more details as to some specs and such. So I was already interested in reading everything.

whiteedge, I'm guessing those are 31.10.50's on stock rims? Your pics are great! thanks for posting! I especially like the first one

 

Walter i love your truck i want a locker still man you ride looks SICK!!!!! looks like you had a great time

 

before i lifted it

 

I think it ran me about $485 when it was all said and done. I did the install so that saved me some money.

Thanks, and I would not mined seeing your truck in person some time. I want to see how the 265-75-16 tires look on your truck.

 

The tires are 255-70-16, so it is about a 29.5" to 30" tall tire and the width is about 10.5". My rims are stock but they are 16" not 15".

 

i offroad my truck not all the time, but every once in a while,and i have a 94 2wd 2.3 5 speed with 4 " lift and 31s, funny thing is me and my dad where heading to work and it was realy rainy so the job site was muddy, i made it threw with little problem but my dads 2007 gmc 2500 diesle got stuck about 30 seconds in to it, thats the only time i have gotten threw somthing and a 4x4 hasnt.

 

2wd offroad. isn't that an Oxymoron?

 

I have taken mine mudding a few times at a buddy's mudhole and went through wat his jeep did and didnt get stuck but the steep hill i dint make mine is on 33s t-bars cranked new exhaust and light mods
