I had a Ford Ranger plagued with constant IAC problems that would do this all the time. Taking your foot off the gas would bring it to 4k RPM. I guess it was the closest thing to cruise control that pickup ever had.... Clutch, flick the shift lever to "n," turn the ignition, and coast to the...

Driven manuals all my life to the point that I do not feel in control when driving an auto. I am not as engaged with the vehicle. 1st is so short on the 6spd Toyota trans that it is very difficult to stall in 4LO.

Did you buy that one or 'liberate' it?:D On topic, I like forest green as well. If they had offered it in the 05+ I would own one. I think it would have looked great in the base or Rugged Trail edition with black fenders. I see now that they offer "Timberland Mica," which on the website looks...

Add to that a real pilot shaft on the 6spd and I would be in.

I switched to a Glock 19 from an IMI Jericho and never looked back. The 19 does everything I could want in a combat auto. I Concealed Carry it every day when I am not going to/from work (no POWs on post). It now has 3300 rounds on it, 6 different brands of ammo- zero malfunctions. This is a...

I wish I could have done more while I was in this area, but the schoolhouse here turned into working 12-14 hour days 6 days a week and really cramped my style. Had some 4 day passes, but family/girlfriend issues meant I was always elsewhere. Still got to a do little exploring in NF and also in...

I have an '08 6spd and love it so far- with a few caveats. Windshield may be weak. I cracked mine with a small something-or-other going 15mph. Paint chips easily. I have a couple on my hood, never tailgate, and the truck is one month old. Shifting is rough from 1-3, like you can feel the...

I have been driving around town quite a bit in the last couple days (nothing to do yet) and am pleased to say that the brakes are feeling better (or maybe I am getting used to them) and the transmission is getting smoother. The previous 2500 or so miles were almost all highway, so I did not do...

Thanks for the reply. I am already riding awfully low with just 400 lbs and myself in the truck. Toyota must figure no one will haul with the truck. I used to have a regular cab ranger that about as high with 600 lbs of field stone. I think I will get the tsb work done and leave the suspension...

Hadley- Low much will 885s raise the front end? Also, if a person plans on raising the rear end as well, would it be better to forget about the TSB leaves and just add and aftermarket?

Agreed on the ugliness of the mountain sticker. I may get around to trimming it or removing the decals altogether. I don't mind the black fender flares as there is no paint on them to scratch and replacements *ought* to be cheaper. Finally and most importantly, this edition was the only access...

Like I said, I was originally looking for 01-04s but so far I am very happy with the truck and how it drives (on road, at least). Time will tell how it holds up. Got it for 6500 off sticker and did not have to pay sales tax as I bought in Georgia and registered in Ohio. Branched 35D here- I...

I was stuck with a 2wd '00 Ranger for a long time and after a few months on active duty, I could afford a new pickup. 2wd was out of the question as I can't remember the number of times I got that Ranger stuck. I used to off-road a bit when I was younger with my dad in a '77 diesel Scout II...
