This is my 94 Ford Ranger 4x4. It is not a common overland rig for some reason but I have grown to be really enjoy this truck. I have had the truck for 2 years now and the truck has yet to leave me stranded. Here is a picture of the truck when I bought it, it needed some love but it was a solid truck with 140,000 miles. Now I think the truck has close to 170,000.
When I bought the truck I was not aware of overloading but a friend told be about this site and I was hooked. It wasn't before I was exploring some of our local logging roads and seeing the sights. This photo was on the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route.
But of course I can't take a stock truck with bald tires too far off pavement so the modifications began. It started with wheels and tires, I ended up with cheap black wheels and General Grabber AT2. So far the wheels and tires have been great. Then a canopy, then drawers to organize things.
I was very happy with the rig at this point but then we went to the Northwest Overland Rally. We were walking around the vendor show and there was a 40l fridge on sale. When I came walking back into camp with my fridge my camping neighbor Ed said "You are walking down a slippery slope my friend" He was very right.
We camped in Yellowstone last summer and it was amazing but our ground tent just want cutting it for the 2 week trip. So we got a CVT Mt. Shasta Roof top tent. This has been a fantastic addition to the rig. This is also how the ranger got the name HaRVy, get it? Here is a shot with the tent on top at Ocean shores, Wa
