Depending on where the noise is coming from. I’ve seen videos where a guy would jam a block of wood on the opposite side, close the door, and push in the area where the wind noise is coming from. Bit crude, but apparently worked. I’d probably save this as a last resort.

So if the title would’ve said Ranger vs Colorado vs New Tacoma, you’d be ok with it? 🤣

How can anyone compare midsize trucks without including the Tacoma? See the bigger picture here 😊

Wow. 40’s look amazing. Nice work!!

I DD a 1500 Burb. It is so useful. Including lunchtime naps in the back 😂 House projects, camp trips, etc. The best DD I’ve ever had (and I’ve had lots). Blazers are cool, too. I’d only get it as a second vehicle (to the Burb).

For 33’s, I’d just try to find some new Rubicon/X take off suspension.

😂😂 So, for the best “overlanding” experience, I need to throw $250k at a van? No, thanks. My almost stock truck and Jeep with a tent and food in the back gives me what I need.

RIP Rob 😢

I have a family so more room is appreciated. But even if I didn’t have passengers, I’d still go Suburban. Much more comfortable. And I just love the size/proportions, especially that generation. So Suburban. Always, Suburban.

Thanks. On the timing chain tensioner issue, is there a tell-tale sign? Noise?

Thanks guys. Just for clarification, I am looking for something in the 2000-2011 range. I thought that was the 3rd gen (according to wiki anyway). I found a few 2010 and 2011’s, ext cab, 4.0 with around 130-180k miles. I’ll check the frames. Thanks.

Well, one of my daughters is turning 16 in a couple months. She wants a midsize truck. Preferably a Tacoma but I don’t want to sink that much cash into a potentially short-lived vehicle. So I’m thinking a 3rd gen Ranger. I really want her to learn to drive stick but she’s not interested and...

Ain’t no crew cab making that jump!

Tuck the jeep away for the winter? That’s the best season! 😆

This is a picture of the space behind the seats. There’s quite a bit of room.
