If I can find a supercab that isnt beat to heck and ready to die, i would. I would have to do 2 things: 1: remove the back seat. 2: raise the seat and extend how far back I can put it.

Even in my truck, I have the seat all the way back... Thankfully its at a perfect seat height for me.

I know a guy who is 6' 5" 285lbs and he packs himself into a SINGLE cab Ranger everyday with no complaints.

ANY year group Ranger is a stout vehicle, from the early 80s through 2011.
A late 80s/early/mid 90s 2.3 Ranger with the 5spd manual is hard to beat for cheap, reliable, stout transportation that can do a surprising amount of work.

Good evening Rick. Just finished watching the Hawaiian, or is that Illinoisan, or was that Kenyan - I'm so confused - so I guess that tells you what condition I is in.

Remember the McCarthy era of the 50s when there was the big communist scare?...............someone with Obama's credentials and politics would not have been allowed to VISIT the White house, much less occupy it!

Evening Jim!

All will be better in the morning.

I think he was Hawaiian, or was it Kenyan? I know it wasn't Illinoisan.

I had to go away for a few minutes. I watched the State of the Union and my wife happened to be in the same room. For punishment I have to cook dinner. At least I don't have to sleep in the dog house tonight.


Venison Back Strap for dinner.......
