    thats lame. Its just a bunch of people with unfortunate taste banding together to keep their shitboxes roadworthy. Ford should be thankful that there are even enthusiasts that like something other than the mustang or diesel trucks.

      I used to go there when I had a B4000,maybe they should change the site name to
      thesmalltruckfromthefailingautomakerwiththeblueova llogo.com a little long winded but it could work.

          Now that is funny!
          Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs!

            turns out the rangerstation website was selling counterfeit ford stuff. woops.
            Remember the story about Ford going after Ford fan-boy site RangerStation.com? Turns out they were doing what we thought they were doing — selling trademarked merchandise without a license. Full e-mail from Ford below.

                    BMW would likely sue the pants off of anyone using their trademarks. They're some of the most valuable and protected trademarks in the world, even dealerships are carefully monitored in roundel and name usage.

                      Didn't R3V get bitched at for using the roundel way back in the day?

                        Yeah, I forgot all about that! Jordan pissed off someone at E30Tech, and they sent an email to BMW NA and told them that he was using Roundels for the forum icons, and they sent him a letter saying he have to remove them.

                            Ford is doing more than asking for TM's to be removed.
                            It's a shit move from Ford. They already have fan issues.

                                This makes sense...

                                Rangerstation is retarded for hawking fake merchandise.
                                Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”
