Wow, more than 10 years after originally posting this, hard to believe. I now own 2 Rangers, neither of which have still been to a meet, haha. I'm still in the Anaheim area, but willing to drive a bit as well. I am no good at planning, but if there is something in the works I'm definitely still...

I installed a 12v plug into the bed of my '23: It's a minor upgrade, but now I can plug my portable fridge into the truck first to cool it down before switching to the power bank. Not related to the '23, but last week I turned the old passenger seat out of my '88 Ranger into an office...

Yup that's pretty much it. Dealers near me didn't stock many Rangers, if any at all. Between the time I first went in to inquire and the day I actually placed the order, the one I bought my truck from had one Ranger that was fully loaded and already lifted with a dealer accessory package. Also...

Hey everyone! About 5 months and 3-4k miles into owning my new '23 Ranger someone rear ended me while I was parked at work. This bent the steel structure of the bumper which buckled the plastic trim quite badly. I was able to fix this to a degree, but I had to remove all of the plastic trim...

Hey everyone! I think it's been somewhere around a decade since my last post here, I'm excited to be back. Here's a few photos of my new '23 Ranger XL that I special ordered and have had since this past January: It feels cool to drive two Rangers that are 35 years apart. So similar and so...

Can anyone tell me which sensor is the one that is threaded into the side of the intake manifold? On my 88 2.9, it's threaded into the passenger side of the middle intake runner. Can anyone identify this for me? Tried to find pics but haven't had any luck.

Okay guys, so my 88 2.9 decided to start idling high about a week or two ago (right around the same time that mornings started to hit the low 30's when I leave for work). As soon as it's fully warmed up, she normally idles perfect, dead at 800 RPM. Now, as soon as it's warmed up, she's idling at...

I'd like to see how many members we have in these areas. I see Rangers EVERYWHERE, no matter where I go or when, so there have to be a few of us around here. I'd like to find out where everyone is, and maybe organize a few meets or something. Never been to a Ranger meet, myself, and I'd really...

I recently discovered that the vacuum modulator on my trans is leaking fluid into my intake, so I decided to buy one and change it. Well, I noticed that it's kinda tricky to get to on my truck (the cat. converter blocks easy access), and that Autozone offers two different ones for my truck: Blue...

Over the years, my Tan dash has started to discolor and turn dark brown right by the far left hand vent, exactly where the sun shines through and bakes there every day. It's definitely due to the sun, because it's colored along the line of my carpet dash cover, which you can see is still fine...

So, a long time ago, a honda fit ran into the driver side of my truck. A new paint job and used door from pick your part later, and I have a non-demolished door. However, this new door seems to be off a bit, as if it's camber was off. The top of the door has a good half inch gap that required me...

I just saw one of these on the freeway the other night and about shit myself (not this exact one, just googled for an example): What I want to know is... WHY DON'T WE SEE MORE OF THESE? Holy crap!!! I'm pretty sure if they made more of these, Ranger sales would have been through the roof! I...

Hey guys. I've been having this problem pretty much for the past two years. Whenever it gets hot outside (75 degrees or above), or whenever I do stop-and-go driving for long periods of time, my truck will start to pull to the right really hard. I have a very strong feeling that it is a brake...

I've been doing a bunch of research lately out of curiosity, and from what I've seen it looks like the first gen dash is not compatible with the 4.0. I know it has been done before (4.0B2), so what I'm curious about is what exactly isn't compatible? The Tach, fuel, temp, battery, oil gauges and...

Alright guys, I need your help. I've posted about this on two Suzuki forums in hopes I'll find something, but this site has helped me more than anything else, so I figured I'd post this here, too. About 5 months ago, my sister's 1997 Geo Tracker 1.6L severely overheated, causing a warped head...

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I'm trying to install an aftermarket tach in my girlfriend's 1998 Escort LX (she has the base tach with just speedo, temp and gas gauges). What I'm having trouble with is the signal wire. Switched power, lights, and ground aren't a problem, just wondering if...

Just saw this down the street from my house a few nights back: Don't know about you guys, but that's the only factory dually Ranger I've ever seen. If it's not factory, it's done REAL well.

So, I just put in a brand new Kenwood headunit in my truck today. As soon as I finished everything and took it on a test drive, I noticed it was idling unusually low. The further and further I drove, the lower it got, until it would start to stumble, recover, stumble and recover, then stall. It...

I'm trying to figure out exactly what axle I have in my truck. I don't have stickers on my door anymore, so I am trying to figure it out using my axle tag. This is how mine reads: A S3980 - - 3 4575 7L09 I can't for the life of me figure this out. Anyone mind...
