Post Your Rides

Well we have not had one of these for a while and im bord so why not.

My first car a Turbochaged 2.2L I4 Dodge Shadow ES (Was quick but was falling apart)



My second and first TRUCK.  A significatly better vehical and alot of fun a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd with the 3.0L V6



My third (Owed when i had the ranger. this was my project vehical)
1977 Dodge Tradsman 200 Fully Decked Interior Shag carpet, double bed, mini beer fridge, black and white 13" tv, swivel drivers and passengers seat, twin tapedecks one plays up front the other plays in the back.  UNder the hood lied a 318ci V8 pmping a whoping 150hp




And then theres m current and only remaining Vehical.   My 1994 F250XLT Extended Cab Long Box 2wd.  Under the hood lies the beast a 7.3L IDI (PRE powerstroke no electronics) Turbochaged Diesel.  This ones a keeper and will be in my stable for A LONG time to come.

I dont have it no more  i had to sell it due to finachial troubles a while back.  It was fully done up though with full BLUE Shag carpet inside. 

Nice i for some reason always loved Crown Vics.

Oh and the F250 is also straight piped (NO MUFFLER). A turbo charged 444ci (7.3) V8 Diesel sounds NICE when not muffled.  most people thing i got a Big block gasser under the hood with a HUGE turbo .  But at idel the thing sounds like a stock diesel.  At its loudest its still quieter than a Gasser with flowmasters.  It get 17mpg and the thing weighs 6300lbs or in other words three honda civics.   Its not the fastest vehical on earth but is no sloutch either.  Id guess a 1/4mile at 18sec.  I have loaded the bed with 2000lbs (1 TON) and the thing did not even notice climed a grade 6 hill in overdrive accelerating .  This thing will pull a house off its foundation if you give it enoug traction its peak Tq is at 1400rpm and it idels at 600rpm Redlines at 3500rpm.  Torque curve is FLAT and the hp curve just keeps riseing god i love this truck.

97 Jimmy, it looks nice, but it is the biggest lemon ever, I paid $6200 for it, and have put $2400 into it for repairs.  Its most likely getting sold come spring, and after that I'm planning on building a trail jeep.

well, here's the 1999 Navigator that my dad bought. im hoping he will give it to me when i need my car. that picture is when we were replacing the engine. the previous owner was stupid enough to only change the oil twice in 6 years. right now it is all waxed and looking very good. i might post a more up to date picture soon. 

Mine...

Nice Chevy built like a rock crumbling away LOL just a joke i wish i had a smaller truck to go back and forth to work with too my truck gets cumbersome in down town city driveing . 

Nice jeep whats under the hood 4.0l or the 4.2l?

I thinking of saveing up some $$$ to buy myself a small car for a daily driver cause i have alot i want to do to my truck but cant disable it untill i get something to drive to work with.  I was considering a Hyundia Accent or a OLDER VW Diesel Jetta.  Or i know its not small but a X Cop car Ford Crown Vic.  I also was gona buy a used ford ranger agian but i want a 4 seater.

4.3L underpowered for that size truck? I highly doubt it. This truck weighs around 2,500lbs(probably less,that is the weight of the 97 extended cab), and with my fuel injection performance kit(K&N) this puts out nearly 245 hp. It is a low sitter, but I don't plan to off-road with it. This also has the towing package. I don't know what gas mileage your 7.3 gets, but I can get around 28-30 mpg(highway) with this.

I would have liked a Ranger, but I just couldn't find any.

i just prefer the rangers and 4.0L for power or the 3.0l for fuel milage.

 And what are you saying? A 4.0L has more power than a 4.3L?

The bed is easily big enough for queen size air matress with a couple pillows and sleeping bags. I just have different purposes, I don't need to haul anything in the back on most occasions, and when I do, I just take that stuff out.

I didn't know I posted my truck to get your judgement of the performance based against what you have, nor that this was any kind of competition. But I think I know my truck a little better than you do.
