New to this forum but not new to Rangers
Hi! I was browsing around the internet, looking at Ranger articles and found this forum. Looked like fun (I was checking out the picture contest thread, "Post a pic of your Ranger next to a drunk guy in a giant Subway sandwich costume", etc.)
I have a 97 Ranger, a Cayman Green XLT Flareside extended cab with the jump seats in back and a tiny little 2.3L four cyl with a 5-speed manual. With the exception of my one mod - the addition of the camper top - it's all factory and going to stay that way. I bought it when it was brand-new, with only seven miles on it, and it's never given me a single problem until now. Had a couple of small transmission issues recently so it spent some time in the shop getting the tranny (and my wallet) cleaned out.
It's my daily driver, I love this truck. My other car is a 2005 Roush Mustang. I spent a couple of years in a Mustang club back in Omaha, and that was fun. I just haven't joined any car clubs since moving back to Texas.
Here's a pic I took back in Omaha when the truck turned 100,000 miles. The moment the odometer turned, I stopped and had a one-person Chinese Fire Drill to celebrate.

'Cause it'll jump out and bite us, have to keep it on a leash when you get it excited.
That's a good question, I didn't ask, just went along with what "the guys" did. (I was the token chick member for a long time.) Not sure how much help the straps would be, the car was chained down pretty heavily in back.

Oh, cheez....good question....I can't remember, ahahahaha....
I think it was 285 torque / 298 hp at the last one (a huge difference from the 265 it got at its first dyno), it had just broken in. It's a Stage 1, so really just a regular GT with Roush rice all over it - and a really big CAI.
