Was looking through some of my old photos and it seems every car or truck I have driven in the past 12/15 years I have photos of with the exception of the 2 mini vans I won't mention.

I'll start with my Dodge Ram 1500 that I only miss because I pulled many rangers home with it. Truck was so big I couldn't reach the ATM without taking seat belt off especially after cranking the t-bars and the 33's. This pic is actually with the 33's and tbars cranked you can imagine how low it was before...

I had another 2000 Ranger before the one I have now equipped the same as this one only blue.

 

Before the blue Ranger I had a green 96 Ranger 4x4 4.0 w/5spd. Before the 96 Ranger I had a full size GMC short bed step side 4x4 with a plow package & 33's that I had the same problem at the bank drive through it sat up so high I had to unhook the seat belt to reach.

I've had a butt load of cars and trucks in the past 45 years.  The only one I care to show that I have pictures of is my 2001 Ranger EDGE.  This is a couple of days after I bought it.

My very 1st car, a 1962 Dodge Wagon W/ 360 V8 rust free had only 33,000 miles on it, and ran like a tank. My Grandmother gave it to me for my 17th birthday.

The 2 kids are Linda and I in 1974

Had a 1975 Alaskan pop up camper that was put on brand new and never taken off. Was an awesome weekend rig. Had to sell it to pay for school.
Photo was taken on a crappy phone.

This little thing got a consistent 32MPG. Bought it barely running for less than 300 bucks. Cleaned the throttle body, put an oxygen sensor on (easiest one I've ever replaced and cheapest) and a crank sensor (not as easy), drove it for a year and sold it for 600.

Thanks Mike, wish I still had it. I had to take a picture of the picture because when I had that car (1978-1990) I had a 35mm camera & did not have a digital camera.

I know what you mean. Back in the day when I had my "cool" cars, all I had was a Polaroid Square Shooter II. All the pics of my cars went away in a house fire in 1983. Now all I can do is scour the Internet for pics of similar cars...

Here's a small sample.  I've owned probably 60 cars in my life.  These are what I could dig up online, and dont include what I currently own
2003 Suzuki TL1000R with a decent bit of mods




The only picture I can find of my Tahoe.  it was a 2015 LTZ that we just traded in on our 17 F350



2011 F150 FX4.  Ecoboost truck..  We kept it about 4 years and replaced it with the tahoe

This was my first diesel.  I bought it in 2003.  It was a 1996 F250 short box extended cab with a 5 speed.  Pretty rare.



When I sold it had a D60 SAS, injectors, clutch and a few other bits.  It made 310/620 up from 175/400 stock

1989 Mustang LX convertible.  Caged, small build, lots of suspension.  Still a turd

1958 F100 converted to 4x4, coils, had a TBI setup, ac, power brakes and power steering

2003 Focus SVT EAP.  Used to be my little DD

2005 Cadillac CTS-V.  I developed a thing for fast sedans.  

I replaced the caddy with this, 2013 Subie WRX limited


Which i then replaced with this 2013 Audi S4

2007 Yamaha Warrior

My first of 3 lightnings

1994 Cobra with a mild build and a small kenne bell

2008 F-250 that I bought for my wife, we later sold for a 2010 Tahoe

1988 Toyota 4Runner dual cases, d60 front, z link suspension, 14 bolt rear, detroits in both axles, 39.5s

Now some videos
Another fast sedan

I still own this lightning, but I like videos

Out of all of those, my faves are the 1996 F250 and the 1958 F100. A really sweet collection of rides, Dusten!

it was a great truck, but the technology behind it was so far behind that I couldn't keep sinking money into it, when i could just buy something with all the parts there.

It was a non intercooled 7.3 that even after a ton of work only made 308hp and 620 ft/lbs. At time you could buy a newer diesel, with just tune and exhaust make 400hp, have a better transmission and better ride.

I bought the truck stock, lifted it, solid axle swap, upgraded the clutch, injectors, turbo, exhaust, intake, traction bars. It was a super cool truck, just quickly became impractical.

It sure didn't look the best and I had to do a lot of welding repairs but it sure got me around a long time. This is the first truck I ever bought and it was about as rusted out when I got it in 1996 as when this picture was taken which was right before I scrapped it about 2,014. It was a 1985 F-150 2wd with a 4.9L straight 6 and 4 speed manual tranny which is the only manual tranny I've ever owned too by the way;). I don't have anything against them,just prefer automatics.

Yeah it was,I had to make and weld in a knew floor pan on the drivers side because there basically wasn't 1 anymore and right before I scrapped it it needed replaced again. I had the back bumper fall off on 1 end and drag on the road because 1 bracket had rusted off,the other 1 was so rusted all I had to do was some twisting and pulling and it broke off.I even had the tailgate about fall off once because the hinges had almost rusted completely off and I had to weld them back up. The guys at the scrapyard kiddingly said the tool box probably weighed more than the truck :D but it got me around and hauled what I needed,so sand of course ;) .
