I bought mine last winter once the snow started coming down hard here in NJ (we had a record winter last year) and i just recently took it off my insurance but its been sitting with a bad clutch since before hurricane irene.

i miss the thing. Even though its not the best vehicle at all, its a blast to drive.

are your trucks all year dailies?

When I ain't doing something to it, it probably computes to a 50/50 split between driving it and my F-150 during the summer.

During the winter... it only comes out to play in the snowdrifts in the pasture.

Mine gets driven about once a month. The 2.8 is just about dead in it and i don't have the $$$$$$ to replace or fix it. Also don't have the ability to swap anything into it either.

I DD my Ranger. I used to switch between the Ranger and the B2 every other day and use the Ranger if I was gonna be on the highway for a lone run, but the B2's clutch gave out last week. Gotta fix that now.

The Ranger was my only vehicle for years and years.

I drive mine when its cold or raining, which will be happening more and more often in the coming weeks. It sat for about 2 weeks without being driven, and I drove it two days this week and had to replace the radiator and put a helicoil in the #2 cylinder :icon_confused:

My little Ranger (2wd) gets over 700 miles/week. The big one (4wd) gets in about 4 months of dd during the winter so 8 -10K year.

Right now, mine's sitting and waiting for the snow to get serious. My DD of late has been the Crown Vic PI. When things get switched around, the CV-PI will go to the head-end of the driveway, then the CJ-7, and the Ranger will be the winter-time DD.
