Anyone from Minnesota?
Post here, along with what city you are in.

I am in Alexandria,MN.

Looking for local owners, to share tips and stuff.

I'm from Minnesota. I'm not the most knowledgeable fellow... but I'm always be willing to help out. Got any pics of your 99 Ranger? I'd be interested to see the front Light Wing. Anyway, take it easy.

Kool.. where at in MN??
I am in ALexandria MN, about 1 hr from St cloud

CHeck my pics at http://www.rangerpowersports.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=41885&sl=g

that should work..

the light wing just mounts where the front license plate braket was on the front bumper... it allows mounting fo 2 lights without drilling holes in the bumper...
it comes in black and polished aluminum..
its made by CARR i think i got it from jc whitney but cant remember.
I also have an old black KC roll bar with 4 KC lights, that i put on the truck in the summer. but when thats not on i normally have my topper... wich i use to carry tools and computer stuff.

I am prob gonna have to throw in a new 3.0 engine in it, my current one has a scored damaged piston/valve... would cost me about 1500 to rebuilt.. for for another 500 i can put in a new engine that only has 60,000 miles, mine currently has 128,000.
Or i can throw in a brand new 2006 3.0 for $3600.
but i think i will just go with the 66K engine for $2,000.

Talk to u soon.

I'm in Minneapolis. So not the closest to ya.. but not horribly far.

Hello From
Park Rapids, MN. home of the Headwaters of the Mississippi.:wiggle:

I'm in Bloomington. I just bought my first ranger last night.

I'm working on getting pictures to create a sig.

I'm in Brooklyn Park. I run a shop, so if you guys need help. let me know!

Winona.

Mac J when you going to be working again? Will try to stop in and discuss some mods.

Lot more guys that I thought we had around the area. Good to see so many people showing love to the Ranger. Haha...

I'm up in Duluth man, anybody ready for huntin season yet?

im ready..

Can't wait. Try some grouse in the far northeast, then some ducks in west central, phesants down south and then on to the deer just of the Purvis.

Sounds f'in great, I'm so ready! Went deer scoutin yesterday, so good to be out in the woods.:fire:

I hunt deer with a pistol. Got a Super Red in 480. Talke about bark and buck! But when you hit them, they stay down.

Anyone here know anything about the 4wd system of a 99 Ranger xt cab 4wd, automatic, 3.0ltr? My mechanic says i have a bad vaccumm line and seals in my hubs, my 4wd wont engage, the transfer case is fine as far as i know, its just the hubs wont lock/engage.

A friend told me to invest in manual lockouts for it, anyone know anything about these? Where can i get them, how are they installed, etc..

Its winter here in MN, and here in Alex we got hit hard on Dec 1 with about 4in of snow.. and not having 4wd sucks!!

Id appreciate any info,
Thanks.

im in oakdale near st.paul!

Pat from Buffalo about 30-45 min. west of the cities. i went to college at Alex Tech.

Hey I'm in St. Cloud. Sorry haven't posted in some years but I joined a long time ago. Still got the ranger, but I drive a s/c 03 tiburon these days.

i'm only about an hour east of the cities. straight shot on 94. i would be interested in going to an event.

Sooo all you ranger members...... Any one thought of a meet in Minnesota???

I am always game for a meet, but I haven't driven my ranger in 6yrs. I still have it in project form lol.

Your in the same boat as me..... My truck is sitting in the shop taken apart. Its going to have alot going on over the winter. So I am sure I'll be rangerless unless of course I find me a good daily. :zoom:

Yah, my truck is burried under 100s of boxs in my parents garage. Hopefully I can finish swapping engines and paint. I planned on this summer, but I got side tracked with other projects.

A meet would be cool.. My 2wd is almost ready for hibernation, but I still got my 4WD.

All us MN guys over on Ranger-Forums also have a meet at MOA tomorrow night at 7.

Moa?

Mall of America

oh... guess I've never seen it abbreviated that way.

Haha not a problem. You should come to the meet!

Its like a three hour drive one way for me....

Ewwwww that's no fun.

Yeah. I don't usually make it to the cities often. I was there twice this summer. Back to the 50's (Missed Car Craft) and the PPG refinishing center for training in Edina.

Haha wow thats not a lot! I missed the Back to the 50's because of work but made it to Car Craft.

Who's got a garage that wants to help bag and body drop my ranger? LOL F*ck my small ass garage! I can't get into a bigger garage until March when my lease is up.... It sucks having a garage as big as most peoples sheds.... :redface:

Haha wow thats not a lot! I missed the Back to the 50's because of work but made it to Car Craft.

both were awesome this year again. i made to to both. i can be there in about 1.25 hours.
