Re: OOPs Crew

Just noticed that truck, looks great

i have two jobs i work part time for the postal service (will get a full time position in a few years) and the other is in the autobody repair field it took a lot of time this spring to make that truck look that good lol it's almost 10 years old with 140,000 miles on it

in my experiance the chevy 6 cyl is a little wimpy in a 4x4
the ranger with a 4.0 is a good combo but they are kinda tippy and roll over easy but it seams like you have good sense when it comes to driving so it shouldn't be a problem

Re: OOPs Crew

oh yeah that 96 sonoma is the same engin as the 01 silverado same motor half the weight for the truck

Re: OOPs Crew

i had a cherokee. i could be wrong and by no means an expert at cars trust me. lol but it looks like the rangers and cherokees seem to be about the same width. . i shouldnt be doing much offroading.. only getting the boat off the farm lol. that should be fun but the tractor will probably take care of that. . than all the other boats im gunna fix up back there. nothing bigger than 25' so im guessing i have enough power.. how is the power on the rangers?

 

[ne7800]

Re: OOPs Crew

the 4.0 L rangers are pretty strong but i thing a 25' might be a litte big for a ranger probably go down the road ok but might struggle at the ramp

Re: OOPs Crew

i kinda just picked a number. i think 21 would be the limit probably. . i kinda wanna stick in the teens for restores.my buddy had a ranger and pulled my larson. said it felt like his landscape trailler with two walk behinds and blowers etc. but that was like a 2004

Re: OOPs Crew
