Alrighty, Im going to make myself the first newb here.

I can donate some good material for Bronco 2's and rangers for what ever thread y'all agree on:

That sight has tons of info on everything you may want to do to rangers/b2's.
They have charts on the lift/tire needed, upgrade info, custom work, etc. I don't like their forums to much, that's why Im here.

I think the Newb thread is a good thought, bad Idea.
the newbs (like myself) ought to be able to post a new thread to ask questions or whatever without getting flamed to much right? I understand if you've got some kid talking about how he's got some mallcrawler his daddy paid for that's whippen stangs on a circle track or said something really stupid... sometimes gettin flamed is the best way to learn.

Just my newbular 2 cents...

Oh yea,

Someone also touched on how some threads start to get filled with conversation and drifts away from the original idea. This is a PITA when searching something. You find a thread, but it's got twenty pages of arguements over things that don't relate to the main idea, so it's hard to find the answer your looking for.

Again, my newbular 2 cents.

why get upset over a little of topic chatter. we try to keep it on topic for the most part, but we're all friends here (for the most part) and as friends we like to talk to each other. most of the off topic chatter i see is after the OP's question has been answered. i can see how the off topic chat would make it kinda difficult to find info, but thats why i just scan a page rather than read everything in detail.

We get bored talking about the same stuff over and over and over again. So we get off topic inside threads that cover the same old junk

Its VERY easy to tell if you have a body lift or not.....

If you have big round blocks spacing your body off the frame, that would be a body lift.

I have 37's on my dad's 95 f350 with no front bumper and lift. They fit.

If you can't tell if you have a body lift or not maybe you shouldn't be giving people advice in the offroad forum????

So,they even allow Unlearnt,racist,hilbilys in here? Welcome Back!

In defense of the one youve quoted,he and i have argued some points,and he seems like a solid guy,and he doesnt seem like a mall-crawl kinda guy. Im willing to listen to his ideas,and others here seem too,as well!
This aint meant as a shot at you,either!
