Welcome to the club. You will not be disappointed. You may want to consider insoles in the future.

Just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to chime in. There are some great points in this thread and I have a new appreciation for the sliders. Thanks to this thread, I have decided to buy a van with a slider. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I get it home. Thanks again for the...

Thanks for chiming in, Witt. 285/75 is equivalent to 33" if I'm not mistaken. Good to know a slider will clear 33s without modification. I think 33s would be good enough for my intended use. I appreciate the info.

Agreed. Thanks again to everybody who chimed in. I'll be sure to check back in when I make a decision.

Thanks, MG! I really appreciate your insight.

These are all good points... When you say that sliders eventually require adjustment, is that a lubrication issue or do the sliders actually become misaligned over time?

Thanks for the input, so far. The collective wisdom found on this forum has yet to let me down. The van in question is already 4x4 and I had not considered the interference of larger tires with the slider. Is there a magic number in terms of tire size with regards to this issue? I'd like to go...

Decided to get an e-series wagon with hopes of turning into an expo/camper platform eventually. I found pretty much exactly what I was looking for in terms of options BUT the van in question does have the sliding cargo door which I did not want. The reason I didn't want a sliding cargo door was...

Awesome.

Absolutely love the look of your explorer. Very tasteful. What kind of lift/tire are you running?

I think you just answered your own question. Top heavy bikes suck to pick up and can be sketchy in certain riding conditions.

KLR ******!

Say it isn't so, Frank. I just joined the KLR club and was looking forward to having you as a trusted resource. Your KLR thread was very informative and helpful. Sounds like you may have set your sights on something else (probably orange...) but you will be missed by the KLR community.

Good looking rig you got there. Congrats to you on the new acquisition. May it serve you well.

Definitely looks like a nice bike and seems to be a real contender on paper. I was going to hold out for one, but I decided to pull the trigger on a new KLR instead.

Added a 650 to the stable. Really enjoying it so far.

I really like your rig. Thanks for sharing!

What a nice rig. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely buy this bike if it is in good mechanical condition and you can afford it. Like Frank, I too would buy a 640 in a heartbeat, but I can't seem to find any decent local examples. I was very close to purchasing a KLR650, but have now set my sights on a 640 Adventure. Good luck and let us...

Thank you, thank you!!!! Never even expected a reply! I will keep my fingers crossed. I know there are other Ranger enthusiasts on this site as well; I'm sure they would be excited to hear this. Thanks again!!! P.S. There are sooo many Rangers out there...
