Grunizzle’s 1991 Ford Ranger 4×4

I loved the factory color and STX stripes of Grunizzle’s 1991 Ford Ranger 4×4. The combination of the factory colors and the blue James Duff suspension and black wheels makes for a nice looking 4×4.

But as you can tell from the lead photo, the truck didn’t stay like that long. The 1991 Ford Ranger has been constantly transforming in to hard core trail rig with every modification.

As a Ford Ranger enthusiast who enjoys modifying my Ford Rangers for off-road use, I quickly discovered that there wasn’t any websites dedicated to the subject. So in 1999, I created TheRangerStation.com. What started as my own personal desire to help other Ford Ranger owners, has grown into a wealth of online information from numerous contributors. 20-years later, my commitment to the Ford Ranger, and the Ford Ranger community, is as strong as ever.
