The Story Of My Life LOL
Hello, I'm Bryson and I'm 17 but I go by Waffles of course, and I drive an 2007 Ford Ranger Sport 2WD. I wanted a truck for a long time and I would've gotten my dad's awesome F-150 but due to gas prices it got sold so he bought a Kia Rio, guess what I was driving. Then later on my grandpa said I could have his 88 F-150 if I could fix it, but sitting out in a field for 8 years it was to far gone. Eventually my dad asked me what I wanted, and being smart I said I ford ranger. We looked at pictures and I found the little yellow ranger just waiting for me, most people don't like yellow vehicles but I did. During summer he surprised me with it and I was pretty exited, I had big plans for and there sorta coming along. Its an awesome truck and defiantly a attention grabber, ironically I'm trying to make it an off-roadish truck and I get told you cant do that, its a ford ranger, well its MY ford ranger and I'll do what I want with it. But that aside I came across this place and found it a handy place and its been quite helpful. ~ Stay Frosty, Waffles

2WD, 3.73 gears, 7.5 open diff, 3.0 V6, stock suspension, stock wheels, and 300 yards of foot-deep water covering a soft sandy trail said that my Ranger couldn't do well off road.
My Ranger and I beg to differ cuz I made it through! These trucks are beasts man, and anyone who says otherwise is just a jealous person trying to bring you down with their negativity.
Welcome to the forums, and with an attitude like that you'll fit in well!
Any mods planned yet?

Yeah, people tell me all the time, oh you cant do that its a ranger,or its 2wd but it always seems to go where 4wds go, mostly. And oh boy do I have many plans for it, im getting a 3 inch lift, glasspack exhaust, bed bars with more kc lites, black led tails lights, black front halogen lights, underglow neon in yellow, and hopefully a new grille if i can find one I like. Its gonna run me like $1500 for all my upgrades so once i have the money for it I'm doing all that. Ive already got my tires, wheels, grille guard, and kc lights, as well as I black out my emblems, but I might take them off later. Only time will tell.

Swap in a 8.8" LSD axle, or get a locker for it & it'll be able to offroad just fine. However a winch wouldn't hurt just in case.

Damn dude you got plenty of stuff to keep you busy! And forget the nay-sayers, get out and have fun! As long as you got some recovery gear and a decent ride height you'll do fine. I've gotten through plenty of stuff my truck has no right being in
I tried blacking my emblems, messed up, and made a pair of these instead lol

Tbh in my opinion I wouldn't get a glass pack. For an extra 10 or 20 bucks you can buy a thrush welded and get a quieter, yet better sounding exhaust system! And there at almost every auto parts store! And WELCOME!!!

Yeah, but I wanted it loud and proud, so I'm getting glasspacks, I don't like quiet.
