[cove rider]

ya sure once i get my license cause of that stupid rule about having yer permit for 6 months i cant get it for another like 2 weeks or somthing like that

 

[Universe]

Ouch gas mileage

 

[cove rider]

its acctually not too bad really like 16-17 city and 18-19 highway or somthin like that

 

[HRDTLBRO]

That thing is in great condition, especially for being a 93' Ranger...and it's black. Hotness man.

 

[Gex]

Cool, but i find that rangers have 2 have the tail gate down 2 haul my 250 ktm on the other hand my f150 hauls it just fine but in all that truck is sweet! get some mud on it.

 

[cove rider]

ya its not quite long enough to haul my cr125r either but thats okay i dont mind having the tailgate down. ya i cant wait to take it to reader pit or how ever you spell it i herd they got some good mud pits there

 

[toughguymagee]

Tood bad it's a Ford!

J/K..nice rig...My brother has one like that and it's a good truck. I hope it treats you well.

 

[cove rider]

ya i originally wanted a toyota but they were too dang exspensive for me so i got this but i happy with it so whateva.

girlwhoboards: indeed yer cr80 will fit in the back with the tailgate up

 

[Mocha]

Nice truck! We just sold our '99 Ranger. I have nothing but good things to say about it. It was the best vehicle I've ever owned. Fun to drive too!

 

[cove rider]

girlwhoboards: bummer its being worked on but ya keep me posted

Mocha: ya there like second to the toyotas around that same year for quality and indeed they are fun to drive

 

[Universe]

The truck Mocha and I drove. Bonus points if you can tell me where it is parked.

Are you putting the bike in at an angle, or does it still not fit?

 

[Certified Drunk]

Parking lot across from John Henry or at Safeway base of Seymore.

 

[cove rider]

ya that truck is a bit diffrent than mine its the stepside version which has a narrower bed than mine

Base of Seymour. Someone knows their North Van geography.

 

[Mocha]

Yeah, we were a little concerned about buying a truck with a smaller bed, but it turned out okay. We could still fit 5 bikes in it.

 

[cove rider]

nice i cant ride right now so i dont know how many bikes fit in mine yet

 

[Kntr]

I had a 99 4wd with the 4.0L and it had a K&N filter, Gibson exhaust, and a superchip. That thing was actually pretty fast for a little truck.

 

[cove rider]

ya they are pretty fast. how much was the chip?

 

[Kntr]

The chip was a little over $200. I did get better gas milege with it and the automatic shifted waaay better. I got about 20mpg on the highway. The exhaust was about $250. Both together made a HUGE difference. I could lay a patch just by flooring it. It would chirp the tires from 1st to second and it was an automatic.

[cove rider]

would it work in a stick though?

 

[Kntr]

Yep, the auto chip just helps the shift points too. It was a big difference in power too.

 

[cove rider]

hmmm might have too get me one of those

 

[boxxerace]

Cove Rider: I know where you live! <enter stalker music>

I come like a thief in the night to thief your truck at night.

Wait a minute. That looks like a Ranger... a FORD ranger!!! What good is a chip going to do in a truck thats going to fall into many pieces as soon as you even loosely steer it in the rough direction of reider?

I will crush your puny truck! Crush I say! I mean, that is, when my truck is running and well, yah, after I get some new rubbers! Crush!

(everyone else can zoom into the picture to figure out where you live to thief, pillage and otherwise take your oh so sweet (- the ford) toys.)

DIZ

 

[cove rider]

:nuts: well you have no room to talk cause yer suburban is sittin on an 11 inch lift with 28 inch tires. loser

 

[boxxerace]

Funny thing about my temporary 31" tires, these are the same size as your "upgraded offroad (slicks) " that you have. 31" thats at least as tall as... nevermind. So, whats it like to be rolling around on tires that are the stock size for my truck? (ha... sounds so elementary schoolish)

Onto diz #2: My vehicles, unlike your truck will be in 6 months, are also insured. Yes, spell it out, I N S U R E D (which looks funny when you add spaces). So, I guess, besides the embarresment of driving a ford keeping you inside, you wont be driving anywhere at all, no shuttling, no riding motorcycles with girlwhoboards, nothing!

Oh.. (this would be a semi dis, call it diz # 2.25) I got my license when I was 16 to the day. to bad the rules changed!

(ok... time to lighten it up a bit: So when are we going to go "break" in your ford out at reider? I have some trials we can take it on. (yes trials like bike trials)! Last time I was out there it was pretty wet, have a look. Let me know when you wanna go.

and

oh what the heck... subi rippin eastern wa

Sorry if we got off the bike topic!

yers arent 31's i went right up next to them and they are 28's which probably means they are acctually 27's cause they always add one inch to make it sound better. mine say they are 32's but are really 31's.


anyways um about reider im guessing when i get back from my europe trip cause thats when i get my license. seems how i leave for europe one week from today w00t!

o and hey where are you in the subaru?

 

[boxxerace]

near vantage. Your dad knows where it is.

 

[cove rider]

ya beverly that place is small and boring we went dirt biking there once and i got hit by a quad except i was okay and the guy on the quad flew off and his quad almost hit this guys truck but the owner of the truck jumped on the quad and stopped it. it was also all the guy on the quads fault he was looking sideways while riding . he was an idiot

 

[buildyourown]

OMG I hope that subi is a lease.

 

[cove rider]

this is true cause sand is murder to vehicles

 

[lucky13]

LOL,.. yea Aaron, does your wife know what you were doin' with the family rig?

 

[cove rider]

she probably took the picture

 

[boxxerace]

yes Mr. M, cove sometimesIride rider is correct, the wife took the picture(s). There are more pictures at subaruoutback.org under boxxerace as well. The car was washed pretty well, although at one point I forgot to close the sunroof and windows, resulting in you guessed it, sand inside the car! Little Misa did not mind to much, she just grabbed a handfull and had a snack!

The sand was pretty good about not sticking to everything, it was wet underneath from rain the night before.

I do generally avoid sand... except I saw that aussie Mick doing it, so I had to give it a try!

Lets see that pavement cruiser (ford ranger) get dirty here soon!

 

[cove rider]

yes the sand does seem to get everywhere and there is no stopping it but o well it sounds like it was worth it for ya.

ya i need to get a new set of tires maybe today or tommrow or somtime soon then im good except somebody has to ride with me cause its illegal for me to drive by myself so ya.

 

[RhinofromWA]

Are you putting the bike in at an angle, or does it still not fit?

My 88 Ranger SC held my 89 Yamaha 250WR with the front tire in the corner with the back end slid over. If they are straight I have to drop the tail gate....but you would on any 6ft bed.

My Dakota is a 6ft bed....same problem/issue.

88 ranger could hold 2 full size bikes (front tires in the corners) with the tail gate down.

 

[cove rider]

ya i just deal with the tailgate down it isnt any big deal. i dont need to put anything back there really anyways cause i got the extended cab

 

[Langer]

I always see highschoolers in their moms subaru outback ralleying Moses Lake Sand Dunes. It gets real good when they hit the whoop sections.

The best was when I saw all wheel drive Astro van get a 50mph head start for the mud pit. The van load of drunk highschoolers hydroed the pit and kept going.

I wonder why the banned alcohol in the sand dunes?
