Off road stories, Adding lift kits, grill guards, larger tires, pulling someone out. Just shows that 4x4 can be overrated sometimes.

At the last Florida Ranger meet, I was following behind an 04+ Ranger 4x4 on 35's through the sugar sand trails. The guy driving the 04+ thought it would be fun to spin his tires every time we slowed down. Each time he did, he'd leave decent sized ruts in the dirt, that I had to go through. I'm only running 235/75's, but my little 4x2 Ranger took it like a champ and never once got stuck on me.

My favorite story has to be that people dont think 2wds can have any contact with dirt lol wtf!? i havnt done anything yet towards the ranger that pertains to being offroad but getting to my mountain bike trails sometimes is NOT for low clearance vehicles and there is this one parking lot that has a HUGE rut in it and i can park in it and be closer to the gate and not worry about people parking next to me or blocking me i get in and out no problem even when it is hella raining!

2nd story....I drove in sand and i got out. shocked a truck nearby me i also had 3 kayaks in the truck

Nice fordzilla this weekend ill see what my truck can really do!

lol not a story of my ranger, but my dad's 1990 Nissan pick up 2wd went up a steep mountain pass with only a couple rocks in the bed for traction. my dad's friend had an 1970s Land cruiser diesel 4x4 and he didnt make it halfway lol

Havent had my ranger long enough to have crazy stories. Just drove through a snow bank approx 1 1/2 ft high and didnt get stuck the chevy impala taxi behind wasnt so lucky and didnt make it through lol. He was impeding traffic as I was driving away

A 4X2 with a LSD or locking differential can be quite a capable vehicle. Trying much of anything in a Ranger with an open differential is a different story, at least from what I've seen with mine. It doesn't take much to get wheel spin on a wet road from what I've seen.

dont ask me...i push my 2wd to far

ill submit a pic for the group photo album tonight

i can drift in a snow filled parking lot much better than anyone ive ever met. i can beat all 4x4s and the overrated subaru's lol. just because i have a 2wd truck

Still waiting on that pic there Hazard . I have no doubt in my mind that 4x4 is overrated for daily driving. I will take the Simplistic 2wd and its fuel economy over the odd time I would need the 4x4 any day.
