Lets see how far off topic we can go! Ill start.
I was out at a school the other day and I was cruising in to the parking lot where I BRIEFLY saw what appeared to be a CHERRY MJ... I was in shock so I pulled to get a closer look...

figured it was pretty cool and wondered if POSSIBLY I could REVERSE the situation just to be different!

I had an 84 Ranger. Wheeled it all over the deserts and mountains in So Cal.

Except for the POS tranny and the rear end it was a great little truck.

Thanks for saving what it was. I couldn't tell from the picture, or the post. I was thinking Ford Ranger, but I wasn't sure.

Ford Ranger will never be a Comanche. You can exchange grills but that don't make it so.

Lol wow Tony. Hard to see that fender badge

I can't make it out on my screen and since it's a 22" I figured it was the same for everyone.

I think it fits in there pretty good. That way he doesn't need truck nuts, cause he has a Jeep grill, same thing.

[XJ4IV]

Oh lol Im back to using my desktop PC so I have mine on a 42 inch HD screen...

You know those LCD screens have a "native" resolution. If you set it for something different then it looks fuzzy.

I'm guessing by the size it should be 1920 x 1080. It looks like your resolution is much less than that. I guess it could be the font size is really big...

[XJ4IV]

Yeah I made the font bigger but mine isn't LCD it's plasma and bummer deal 720p not 1080. I made font bigger so I could read from across the room... Just need to get my wireless keyboard

Does that Ranger fit into this group???????????

Looks like a mix of a Range rover, a Jeep, and a school bus.

[XJ4IV]

wow stick with imports wayne LOL and Blue u know what I think is hilarious... The jeep Rubicon is trail rated... BUT in its stock form wouldnt be able to gain entry at the rubicon trail in california... they say you HAVE to have a self recovery system... I didnt see one built into a Rubicon... I may be wrong but Also Id LOVE to see a commander hang with MY XJ at the rubicon or even Moab...

[XJ Rat]

Might be different now days, but to earn 'trail rated', the Jeep used to have to complete the Rubicon trail.

Yeah I suspect he's going to learn to do those updates if he keeps having to reload windows. :smiley-laughing021:

[bluedragon436]

I have gotten pretty good over the years with reloading Windows... I think it is a yearly activity to keep computers running smoothly... If I have one more issue that I didn't cause with Windows... I'm going back to my Linux OS!!

I used to have problems with mine. Now I haven't reloaded in a number of years. The key to my success with a UPS, quality power supply and memory.

Also I stay away from Western Digital drives. Used to love them, not anymore.

[bluedragon436]

Yeah I love the WD drives... have had a few issues over the years with them, as I have with a few of the other companies... but I liked WD because they always sent me a new one, with a hold of a little bit of money on my card... but at least I was able to get a new one and get back up and running after usually only a day or two... Haven't had to reload windows in a while... well my computer that got struck by lightning had only been around for a year... and this current one is an HP that I just restored to a new install of Windows XP Media edition... but prior to rebuilding my other computer it has been running on about three years every day non stop with out re-installing Windows...
