Hokay, so, here's my rides.

now, i guess i can get "proof" pictures later, if you really need me to, but it's not as if my vehicles are something somebody would lie about owning, and once i post photos, you'll understand why.

To start out with, my pride and joy (with a blown engine and exploded flywheel) My 86 Bronco II:

Stock drivetrain, 2.9 V6 (dem torks) A4LD autotragic, 3.73 gears front and rear in a ford 7.5 rear and Dana 28 front differential.

A poser shot:

Next up is my 86 Ranger, which nobody wants to buy:

It too has the 2.9 V6, TK5 standard transmission, and has two gas tanks, which is pretty rare for a ranger.

Here is the ranger and bronco together:

Finally, my 2000 Ranger:

It's for the 2.5 I4 Pinto engine (DEM TORKS) and an M5OD 5 speed standard, with 3.73 rear gears in a ford 7.5 differential.

It is fast and danger.

Honestly I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to buy that 86 Ranger.. Looks awesome as hell. I have a love for old American, and a few Toyota trucks. My dream vehicle being a 70 Ford 100 Explorer.. Anyway they're all awesome as hell.

I half wonder if that little Ranger could handle hauling a small car. My friend's got an old Saab 99 stored on the Maine/Canada border, about five and a half hours from here, that I'm interested in buying and turning into a project car, provided I can find accommodations for it once it's in my possession. Half the battle, though, is getting the vehicle and the trailer and actually towing it back down.

no reason it couldn't.

I see you saved the best video for last. The others were pretty "meh," but when I watched the last one, and the water just kept getting higher and higher... it turned into a "whoa."

M8, if you were here in Australia I'd take the Ranger off of you in a heartbeat. That thing looks to be in nice shape for its age!

that was the day we went back to find out what we drove through the night before.

the night before, was terrifying.

hit the water at 50, thought it was a cliff because the road just disappeared into blackness.

then we saw the ripples and knew it was water, followed the guide posts all the way through.

it was pretty okay till the lights went out because the headlights went under water, kept it floored until we came out the other end two miles later.

no water came inside the cab, but i've flushed the transfer case and differentials at least six times since, and it's been about a year, and there's STILL water coming out of them.

My old truck would just give up, turn belly up, and we'd be dead.. I like the video and your vehicles. Very nice.
