That make sense, i can see it would work well for that. What are castings?Its shorter and lighter than a digging bar and made for prying castings apart. It works great for rolling logs in the feild and unpinching your saws bar.

Gotta admit, i looked over all your picts and first thing that popped into my mine was, 'nice, a lot of spare parts'.

We are still happy with this "little" truck. Trying to find steel rims and have snow tires mounted on them now.

Same here, except no snow tires since we usually only get snow once every 7 years and we had our one week snow event last year.
Inventory at dealership now shows they have four new 2021 Rangers and no 2022 on the lot.
ArlyA, Is that fire gear you are wearing in the pic.

I like both of those. I never had a SportTrac, but I did have one of the "real" body on frame Explorers before they turned them into a car, and it was bulletproof.

I bought a new XLT Ranger HiTec in August '21. (3.2 engine) I was lucky. There was a long wait on them and I had been shopping around for a while. I called into the local Ford Dealer and he said he had one just came in for a fellow and he had changed his mind so if I wanted I could have a look at it. It was exactly what I wanted and the colour was what I wanted so I told him I would take it on the spot. I had to wait 2 whole days for them to Pre-Del it.
I love the truck. I fitted different wheels and a rear tray cover and I have a bullbar to put on when I get time. It has all the gizmos on it. It is very quiet on gravel roads but can be loose in the rear end if you hit corrugation on a corner. Love the adaptive cruise control and the only thing wrong is my wife hates it as she has a crook back and has trouble climbing into it. I haven't driven our Honda since I got it but my wife likes the Honda. She thinks the Ranger is too big for her to drive and park.
Overall I am very happy with it. I have about 3500 klm on it now. I usually take my Mustang on road trips so haven't gone long distance in it yet.
I fitted a different grill and tail-lights since these pics. Added photo.
Gidday mate.

That tonneau and roll bar combination is very neat.
I opted for the tri-fold factory hard tonneau for my needs.
Doesn't look anywhere as nice as yours.

Thanks, I researched a lot. I got that tonneau because it is raised and can hold taller cargo.

i finally ordered some steel rims for our ranger which will get snows puts on them as soon as they arrive. I guess the snow showers we had prompted me to move!

My original alloys and tyres are in my storage shed with less than 1000 klm on them. Not sure what I'll do with them yet. If I ever sell it I might put them back on. We don't get any snow here and where I live, no frosts either.

These but they need a wash. Wider and bigger diameter rims.

I got blizzacks (snow tires) ordered this week and 4 steel rims showed up here. We got snow on the ground this am! The tires ran us about $200 each.. I'll take a pic of them all soon and post it.

I'm just happy that I don't need snow tires here in the Ozarks.
If it snows, it's gone in 2-3 days.
If it snows, I'm home in front of the TV until it melts.
Last year we had one storm that left 6".
I got out my Kubota and cleared the driveway.
2 days later all of it melted.
The clearing was just winter fun with the tractor.

Similar here. Just sit our snow out for 2 days and it is gone. Once the marine air comes in it is melt-o-rama.
Here are some similar links:
