Thanks for moving the post for me Rangerx! And I got the truck at 100,000 at the beginning of last summer after my other ranger was totaled by a drunk teenager in a hit and run, which I believe I posted something about it at some point. I have 138k on it now, just ordered my timing belt kit...

At it again So I finally moved to Montana. I posted my other picture like a year ago after I graduated and went on my round-the-country trip, and saved until this last March and FINALLY got to move out here, and I haven't looked back. I did some much needed upkeep on my truck. New (used)...

i guess if you have enough clearance around your wheel well it might work. i would like to see it done with a truck, tho

you know, a lot of people say they would rather do it in an RV or something, but there is something about going out in the bare basics with not much cash, just a sleeping bag, a coleman propane burner, a few sets of clothes and some other camping stuff that really humble you, when you realize...

well thank you very much. see Bats you and i have the exact opposite problem. you have a job and no time, i have no job (other than my part time one i had in college) and too much time! well it has been nice, it lets me hunt nearly every day this season so far

completely by myself. I stayed with family in SF and LA for a couple days each, but that was it. the rest of the time i spent on my own, talking to people, hanging out with some extremely interesting people, and hiking out in the wilderness on my own. My grandfather had passed away in...

oh yeah, two times i decided to drive for 20hours straight and see where i ended up. now THAT was ass-in-seat time!

yup, it was pretty sweet. I encourage anyone even contemplating it to go ahead, say screw you world, and just go for it. it was the best decision i could have made. literally, i would wake up in the bed of the truck at sunrise and think, "what do i want to see today?" then just go and...

After my ranger was totaled in a hit and run by a drunk teenager, I spent some of the insurance money i got on a small, cheap 98 ranger 2.5L 5spd. When I graduated college in May, I decided to take my truck on a little trip. 16 states, 30 days, sleeping in the bed of the truck in the...

I recently noticed that my shifts are getting horribly clunky and something was wrong. I looked and saw that the balance on the front end of my 98 ranger 5spd was loose and flailing around like crazy. This is not a picture of mine, my camera is on the fritz, but I found one that looked similar...

Well, there is a little back story on this one. My buddy and I decided to drive from illinois to montana in january, and due to mechanical problems i was having at the time we took his ford contour instead of my ranger. This is in paradise valley, montana, after a night of having a little too...

well i got everything settled out now. i STILL haven't actually talked to the little punk that totaled it, i guess he's not man enough to meet me face to face, or even call me to apologize. after i did extensive research and negotiated the crap out of the insurance company, i got WAY more than...

well the claims adjuster came, saw, and stole my truck. well, they gave me two grand more than i paid for it, so i guess they didnt steal it, but i would rather have that truck than the two grand. i was more upset when the wrecker drove away with it than when my girlfriend of three years left...

oh i absolutely called the police at 4:30 am that morning, and got a report form the officer. This was before the parents of the kid showed up at my house, but apparently the police went over to have a little chat with him today, so we will see how that went. As for the rental car, i got...

so i drove by the house the kid lives in... its huge, these people can pay. I'm going to have to wait until next week for the claims adjuster to call me, since the two huge storms here in the last week and all the damage they caused are keeping them busy. Also, state farm wont rent me a car...

im going to try again to contact them tomorrow, i want to know if his airbags deployed. They had to have. anyone else think alcohol or some other mind altering substance was involved? i'm convinced of it if i figure out my new camera, which barely works for some reason, i will post pictures

Yesterday morning I stepped outside at 4:30 am to pack my truck for a mini fishing trip. I noticed my truck wasn't where i parked it in the street in front of my house, and was extremely confused. Where the truck stood, I found, scattered about, glass, pieces of sheet metal, and my mud flaps...

Okay, so after temporarily fixing my truck, the stupid flex fuel sensor has completely burned out, literally. All the wires going into it are melted for some reason and the part is done for. I took (towed) it into the dealership to have it confirmed, and my worst fears were right, there is no...

so after i took basically everything apart, just short of disassembling the block, and cleaned every nook and cranny, I got it to crank and turn over, yet its idling horribly, and after about a minute it stalls out. any clue to what is happening now?

As far as i know i do, but i wont have an actual compression gauge here until my friend brings it back to me hopefully tomorrow night, who lives an hour away. I checked, and the fuel pressure is presumably fine, the pump is working, the filter isn't clogged or anything, and all the lines...

I have a 2000 3.0 ranger flex fuel So my truck started to seize up on me, badly, so i got it in to have the computer run. I got the generic codes P1132 and P1152. The engine finally stopped working when i got back into my driveway, and hasn't worked since. The problems listed are: Leaking...

I have a 2000 ranger 3.0, and my check engine light went on. I took it in to have the computer scanned, and it was the fuel composition sensor that was out. I know i dont actually need it except for my emissions test. Is there a way to trick the computer into thinking that i have a...

I nosed around a bit looking to see if this question was already asked, couldnt find its, so here it goes. I fairly recently bought a '00 ranger xl 3.0 v6. The guy before me didnt want to change out the faulty tensioner and serp belt, so to make the squeak go away when it was wet, he used...
