Hello, Im new to the forum, my name is Kris....I love working on my truck and trying to figure out ways to make it better. However i dont really go off-roading with it, (its my full time vehicle) but i would love to make it my toy one day.
got lots of dreams for her but who knows if they will come true. in the mean time i would like to bring forth my experiences, answers and questions to the forum.
thank you

 

welcome from Mass. i took my ranger (full time vehicle) off roading all the time after i lifted it on 33s

 

Welcome To RF

 

Welcome!

 

Hey man,

I'm in CT too. I'm on the shoreline though. Not that many places to offroad around here, but I've got my spots. Even if you never take it off the pavement, they are a great truck, and fun to work on as well!

 

i just found my first off road....found a puddle went deeper than i thought....the lift idea is becoming stronger hahah. new tires and shocks held there end. loved it. need more power tho definitely!! BTW...need an off road budddy. it was lonely and quiet just me and my truck ah

 

Welcome to RF Kris!

 

Welcome im from RI. and theres no wheelin in CT. have u heard of voluntown?

 

yes i have...i used to live in putnam, ct which is like right on the border between the two. i actually did find one yesterday in glastonbury and my friend says there is one in pplainfield, but he loves his truck too much to use it haha

George Washington State Park In Glouchter ri is great. Your just outside hartford so its not too far. I go there once a week

 

your truck will definitely kick mines a@%, are you lifted? cuz im not so idk if you can go further than me...but im always down to go on a trail.

Not lifted just leveled.

 

how did you level yours? i just twisted my torsions about an inch. barely noticeable but i notice it

Maxed them out

 

new question...yours is a lil newer than mine, but was one of your adjuster screws out more than the other when you went to go adjust them...my passenger side bolt was much further out that the driver side.

 

Im not sure, but that might have something to do with Ford considering the weight of the driver+gas tank when tuning the suspension.

 

thats a good suggestion...i like and will go with it. i dont like to think about what the prev owner might have done. questions like why inside my gas lid is green, are questions best left unanswered haha

 

100% correct lol



and just to ***** since we've both posted in the thread...my old truck (far left) and daves truck are in this pic lol

 

Welcome!

 

One of the bolts it longer than the other i forget which tho lol

 

is that my current skid plate? you must miss your truck...it was nice. that was a good day we should do that again but in the bronco

 

yup thats your current skidplate under my truck haha. yes i miss it and the bronco is for sale lol I want another ranger but not a sh*tty one like that green one i had for like a month

 

Good Sell It!! get a ranger save you a lot of money on gas. ik of a 4cly 5 speed for sale down the street but idk what they are asking.

edit i lied either a 4L or 3L i found it on CL
