Thinking about leaving the Ranger club...

Welcome! And welcome to our world of Tacomas!

 

yeah, otherwise, they'd be super pimp.

 

I've had two Rangers, a '99 and a 2000. Both ext cab 4x4's... my '00 had the 4.0. And i've gotta say my '01 Tacoma is so much better you won't regret the switch. Like everyone else has said, gas milage, style, reliability, etc. Everything is better! The only downside is that the Tacoma is more expensive. But it's definitely worth the extra few thousand dollars.

 

Can anyone tell me how wide those TRD Beadlock wheels are? The bronze ones.

 

BAH! Not worth picking up then. What a let down, pretty wheel...
Thanks for the link.

 

If you are considering a Tacoma, this thread is a good read.

Is Icon a good Suspension lift company? Every thing I look at doesn't give off lift height.

 

Icon is a very good company, but they also make products what will fit many applications, www.downsouthmotorsports.com

 

What exactly is a drop bracket lift? Is that when you have to drop the front axle?

 

Lol, I love my Ranger. But she is being taken from me I will miss that truck deeply. I have a lot of fond memories with that truck. I took that thing to hell and back many times and she just kept wanting more. For a Ford, she is one HELL of a truck. 2000 xlt, Ext. Cab, 2.5L, 5speed Manual, 1 wheel drive 160k miles of never leaving me walking.

But time to move on...

 

So, 3" lift is idle?

 

I was a Ford guy too until trecently. I've owned two Rangers, a 2001 and a 2004. I loved those trucks, and they served me well out in the deserts of Northern AZ, but Ford no longer thinks that people like us exist (or at least that we will all choose to buy F150's now that the Ranger is dead).

Hard to say good ridence to the Ranger platform....but my Tacoma has more power, more offroad capability, way more interior room, better fuel milage, more options, and an aftermarket that rivals that of the popular desert racing Rangers.

Good luck in your search (and sorry about the D, that sucks)

Why would you ever trade when you can do this B.A. Mod!!!

 

I would so sport that around!

Mathman222: Yeah, I have NO idea on why they would discontinue the Ranger! Was such a great little truck. Cheap, little, great work truck, beyond popular everywhere. But I guess the American market is moving away from compact pick up trucks. More of a midsize and larger now. It was sad to see what other countries are provided with while we got the same chewed up truck every year.

 

Oh my God

 

Nice truck op

 

Oh how I wish it was!
This is my stock one wheel drive 4 banger BEAST! Stuck on a small hillish thing >.<

 

How can you resist doing the mustang front end! So what you gonna do? Sell the ranger and come to the taco?

Nope wife is getting my babe I'm keeping my 08 R6s.

 

Oh I see I read the op wrong. My only imput drive a auto, then a stick then decide which you want. I drove an auto recently and the difference is night and day.... better.
