Wheelin with jeeps
 
Who all on here regularly wheels with jeeps in their ranger? Im going to join a local off road club and 99% of them have jeeps everywhere from mild to wild. I was gonna buy me a jeep for a play toy but decided instead to dump that money into my ranger hoping I could hang with these guys. Let me know what you all have done to hit the woods with a bunch of jeeps. Thanks guys.

Is the Off road club by chance Jeep skool?

I use to all the time with my Ranger and my Sport Trac.
Both were body lifted with rear shackles and 33x12.50s, I always aired down and disconnected the sway bars. The sport trac was better because it was locked front and rear, but did very well even with just the rear locker.

cch- no its called Appalachian Ridge Runners. its not exactly a jeep club, but like I said everyone has a jeep with a samurai and an old toyota thrown into the mix.

brian- thats the exact set up I was thinkin of. Thanks guys! Im always open to more suggestions.

I have both lol. Jeep is more fun to wheel with.

you will probably do better than the jeep on steep hill climbs since the longer wheel base and that also helps sometimes when the ruts are dug out to a jeeps wheelbase.

You will be able to keep up in most situations but get some tow points
