    Hey everyone,
    After driving an old 4 banger, insanely modded (different seats, front end, center console, upper console, rearend, bed, grill, stereo, etc, etc etc... manual EVERYTHING 98 ranger for 17 years... I am finally driving a big truck. 08, double cab, SR5, 5.7, 4x4.

    I sure do miss my old ranger, but after nickel and diming me to death, it had to be done. I was quite active in modding on my older ranger forums and plan to to some mods I haven't see anyone here do yet.

    I just hauled my usual trailer the other day and didn't even feel like anything was being towed.

    Welcome from OKC! Man that old Ford 2.3 soch is one tough motor. Put about a million miles on three of them in my lifetime. The Tundra is a whole new animal for sure!

    I put 200k on the old ranger, has about 250k, but I've been hauling so much more than she should have been, I'm sure someone will get another 100k or more on that motor, it's bulletproof.. those crappy hydraulic clutches on the other hand... lol, I'd still be driving her if it were a cable clutch.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone, can't wait to go to a meet and see some mods and everything everyone are doing to their rigs. I'm in Orange City FL, but will be making my way up to WV in the coming years.

    Also, I ended up naming her Gladys Knight Industries Two Thousand. I'm a big play on words person lol
