Went and traded the F150 in this morning. They paid it off for me and I picked this up.

Finally fits in my garage. I will get more pictures tomorrow, I got it just in time to go to work tonight after being at the dealership for 3.5 hours.

First thing I did when I got it home was take the doors off and proceeded to put a dent in the fender. Hopefully I can pop it out if not I will call a paintless dent repair guy to fix it.

Nice! Congrats Adam!

What are your plans for it?

morris 07-09-2012 12:59 AM

Lift it!

98liftedranger 07-09-2012 01:00 AM

Probably just like a 2.5" lift, 33's, some black rims for now. Eventually bumpers and a winch and all that jazz.

Red_Ak_Ranger 07-09-2012 01:11 AM

i like it. black everything goes great with orange

98liftedranger 07-09-2012 01:25 AM

Thats why I bought it. I didn't like the look of the red with the black rims and lifted and didn't want black on black on black so I opted for the dozer (orangeish yellow).

KLC 07-09-2012 02:44 AM

I like the color too. Good choice.

So where are you going to put that TONKA sticker at?

brinker88 07-09-2012 05:24 AM

Good deal. I've heard that new 3.6L kicks that old 3.8L's ass! Altho, the exhaust manifolds are cast into the heads. Im not too keen on that aspect of it.

99offroadrngr 07-09-2012 06:51 AM

looks nice! i'm jelly, i want a jeep too just so door removal is easier. Pain in the ass on the ranger to line em back up even with the ol sharpie around the hinge trick

mac 07-09-2012 07:29 AM

cool! plastidip the wheels for now.

It actually has some pickup, a lot more then I thought it would. 285HP in the little thing gives it some pep.

Yeah it nice to be able to take them off so fast. Although my arms got sunburned yesterday just from driving to work with the top and doors off. lol

I'm waiting until I find a cool chain link license plate frame first.

FULLSCALE 07-09-2012 10:22 AM

Nice! Still going to fit in the garage with some lift?

01RangerEdge 07-09-2012 10:23 AM

Nice grab. A Jeep would be a ton of fun to have.

FordTough2007 07-09-2012 10:25 AM

needs wheels and tires sooo bad. why jeep packages there best selling off roader with wheels and tires that don't even fill out the fender is beyond me. Jeep does look good tho Adam, can't wait to see what you do with it. I like the color as well

Yeah it should fit. I will probably only park it in the garage when the top and doors are off. When its all on it can sit in the driveway.

So far it is but I do miss the F150. I will probably miss it for a little while but I'll get over it.

I have no clue either. They should all come with MT's like the rubicons. The wheels are tires are the thing I hate the most.


And I can't help but want to go to the beach and burry it just to use 4wd. This is my first 4wd vehicle. haha

Do want!

What are you waiting for?!

98liftedranger 07-09-2012 10:40 AM

lol Well I just planted my money tree a few weeks ago so I am hoping that it starts to produce shortly.

BLK02 07-09-2012 11:06 AM

Sweeeet! Those new engines rip. I want to trade my truck in for an unlimited rubi in that bright green color

mac 07-09-2012 11:43 AM
