TRS 20th Anniversary Fundraiser

Hello,

I created TheRangerStation.com in 1999 as a resource for Ford Ranger and Bronco II enthusiasts. I am fortunate to be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019.

https://www.therangerstation.com/the-ranger-station-20th-anniversary/

We have had an interesting past that has included:

Numerous trail rides & gatherings
Trail rides featured in magazines
Magazine project vehicle
Cross country banner relays
Wheeling with Ford (FX4 Ranger prototype)
Numerous magazine mentions as well as mentioned on TrucksTV

I have also been fortunate to meet a lot of people through the site, and watch numerous trucks get turned from stock to amazing!

The forum staff and myself were at the debut for the return of the 2019 Ford Ranger, as well as it's start of production celebration. I also got a chance to test drive the new Ford Ranger in California before it hit the dealer lots.

Today, I have a 2019 Ford Ranger that Ford has loaned me to use and promote until the end of September, and will have it at our 20th Anniversary Trail Ride. I will be doing some mild modifications to the truck, and traveling around the country with it. Some of the places I will take it include the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff Arizona, and the Trans America Trail (TAT).

I have also repurchased TRS-2, my 1996 Ford Ranger 4x4 that I sold in 2014. It is getting rebuilt so it can be at the anniversary trail ride in September.

This is going to be a crazy year! Not only are we celebrating our past, but I'm also promoting the new 2019 Ford Ranger to attract the next generation of Ranger owners.

Your donations have allowed me to do things such as upgrade the forum software. There's other things I'd like to use it for such as anniversary souvenirs, and trying to organize and attend gatherings. All I can do is see how much donation we receive, and use it in a way that will best serve the site and it's future.
