Hi All,

I just thought that I would drop a note to let everyone know that my 2000 4X4 Stepside Ranger is being featured in the April 2009 issue of 4 Wheel Drive & Sports Utility Magazine. Copies should be on the news stand as I am writing this. If you get a chance, browse the article and let me know what you think.

 

Sweet, Can you give us a free preview?

 

Thats awsome.

Like Bugz said, if you have a chance post some pics.

 

I don't currently have the ability to scan the article, but I would assume that the magazine's web page will carry the article once it is updated for the current issue. The web page often carries many of the feature stories. The web page is www.4wdandsportutility.com/

 

sweet dude! ill look for it, its not on the website yet.

 

Just inquiring, but how'd ya get in there??

 

Congrats. I'll keep a look out for it.

I had my old B2200 featured in MiniTruckin Magazine last year.

 

Congrats, that's pretty exciting.

 

is it in the readers rides section??

 

It is not in the reader's ride section, it is on the inside cover and also has a 3 page feature writeup. As for how I got into the magazine, I guess it is all about who you know. I met up with an old friend of mine who is an assistant editor for 4WD&SU magazine and a contributing editor for Off-Road magazine for a trail run in Sedona late last year. While we were out he did a photo shoot and later informed me that he would be doing a writeup on my truck. Since it is not a Jeep it is pretty cool to get noticed.

 

You got in a magazine for just having an RCD? Wow

 

The RCD was a part of it, since it definitely improves the offroad performance of the truck. The article, actually focuses on how difficult it is to build up a Ranger since there is little aftermarket support. The article also discusses my search for sliders, addition of a custom front light bar/grill guard, and bed rack.

 

Hopefully someone will read that article and MAYBE help the aftermarket support....

but I doubt it...

 

Congrats!! Way to represent the ranger nation. tell them there's a market for offroad stuff for ranger's....."if they build it we will come".

 

I think an article needs to be done on Beards truck. That thing is built so much better than alot of the rides featured in off road rags

 

NICE!!!! I'm gonna pick it up when i hits the stands...oh wait...i'll get it in mail too! lol. Both my classic trucks have been in mags...one in Classic Trucks and the other in Petersen's....both readers rides sections. Thats great man!! Good to hear people spreadin' the ranger word!

 

It really is all about who you know...

So how do you know Kevin?

 

congrats!

 

Enjoy... you guys can thank me later...
