Makes sense. I’m still surprised how cheap the TRD Pro equivalent of the Hilux is here. It’s about $10k less.

Did Ford release the new Ranger yet in the US? They’re everywhere here. And they are massive. I’d say it’s about the size of an F250.

 

Oh No Tyler! "Look! It keeps pouring out!"

Nah it's set for a 2019 release though. TRD is cheap there because most of the pro features have been standard in other markets forever and everything is more expensive in the US

 

i went to go pickup a car im fixing for a friend... 20 miles from home the power steering belt snaps. driving home in a sebring without power steering is hell. my taco without P/S was easier to turn.

 

I didn’t know @Jamesboy2233 name was tyler too lol

 

Hmm im debating if i wanna drive an hour out the way to hit some trails and hike then drive a hout to the beach or just hike and goto the beach
Edit: to bad tyler aint here to come with me and see some dirt

 

Trails, always

 

My factory plastic bumper is about as thicc as a piece of paper, hit a bumblebee on the freeway earlier and it almost folded in half

 

I know that feeling far to well.

but instead of a kid asking "are we there yet?" It'll be Tyler asking "engage 4LO yet?"

 

Here’s the engine of one of those knockoff Jeep Wranglers.

 

Other than the Asian brake master cylinder and booster that looks like an AMC 2.5l Jeep motor and underhood area.

 

Is it an authorized Jeep reproduction? Because it sure as hell looks like a Jeep Wrangler, just a very cheap version that’s all polished steel.

 

Ship one back

 

I'm almost sure those are genuine and likely not even reproductions. They look like old stock that people have been keeping going with whatever they have.

 

Here’s what it looks like

 

Looks like an original DJ-5 or DJ-7a. Like they just stripped the paint, polished it a bit and then clear coated it.

 

All of them look like that. I haven’t seen a painted one yet. They’re very common.

 

Looks like they are reproductions. A company makes them here in the Philippines modeled after the original Willy’s Jeep.

I thought my welding was bad until I saw the average welding job on a motorcycle here in the Philippines.
