charlie, your truck should already have 3 skid plates on it (radiator, transmission, gas tank) because you have the "off road" XLT, which came with skid plates.

I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm saying that someone must've removed the other ones.
Your ranger also came with Bilstein shocks.

Where was that pic taken at man?

Oh and I am out in the Black Hills, at Keystone SD. I saw Mt Rushmore and the Crazy Horse memorial, went on some cave tours, stopped by the Ellsworth Air and Space Museum, also a Presidential Wax Museum.

Lots of shops and places to spend money lol. Too bad I am so broke, we are eating sandwiches and chips and staying at cheap motels. Gas and rooms are our biggest expense. But alot of these places have like $10 -$15 entry fees and some have parking fees so it all ads up.

Beautiful hills and rocks and countrysides. Seen alot of wild life, deer, buffalo, etc.

why is it when I know that XLT OFF ROAD RANGERS all came with 3 skid plates, people are suddenly questioning my knowledge?
(3 skid plates, bilstein shocks were all that the off road XLT 4x4 had different from the regular ranger XLT 4x4)

I think the packages did differ.
My white 98 ranger had the t-case and gas skid plates, no front skid, and that truck doesn't say off road anywhere. My 99 ranger came with no skids at all. Both trucks had the same 4x4 sticker, only on the tailgate. So what's up with that??


Went thru Custer State Park, saw lots of deer, mule deer, and tons of buffalo, and turkeys.

I mean we had bufallo and deer so close, walking down the road right past our open windows!!
