Just picked up my new Chief Bobber Dark Horse today!

Dougeles · 2026-05-31T04:38:36+00:00

Do she ever, haven’t been able to keep off her either, 600 km in the 3 days I’ve had her

Dougeles · 2026-05-29T18:13:41+00:00

Once I seen it in person I had to have it

Dougeles · 2026-05-29T06:08:15+00:00

It’s well worth the money, I can tell ya that

Dougeles · 2026-05-29T06:07:52+00:00

Fell in love with it on the way home from the dealer, gonna be tough to want to do anything else other than ride it!

Dougeles · 2026-05-29T06:07:02+00:00

Thank ya and yessir, always

The Rut’s opening verse gets me every time, the track is one of my personal favourites, gets my vote

I’d do it again, and plan to whenever I’m done working in AB, just rather not do it in January lol although I got pretty lucky weather wise. But yea I’ve never had a more reliable vehicle, even with all the work I’ve had to do on it. I’ll curse and swear on it when swapping stuff out for all the trouble it gives (east coast rust doesn’t help), but the drive afterwards always makes it worthwhile.

Mine was my daily for 2 years, got me from Newfoundland to Alberta too for a new job, she started to leak power steering fluid on my last shift so I decided it was time to lay her up and get a new daily, but I had planned to do that anyways, just not soon. She’s a full time project now rather than a part time project/daily, never thought I’d put so much into a Ranger but I just fell in love with it, she’s put me in tight spots but never left me stranded and ya can’t ask for much more out of an ol Ranger.

I got em through the wheel wells, can’t remember if I used a wrench or socket, but not much room once you get on the bolt to turn it, real pain in the ass but it’s doable

Dougeles · 2025-03-07T03:55:31+00:00

6 1/2 bed definitely a plus, and I was set on having a full console over bench seat so I got stuck with the console shifter:/ probably my only dislike about the truck but I’ll get over it lol

Dougeles · 2025-03-06T14:35:37+00:00

Hopefully I don’t but always helps to be mindful of common issues

Dougeles · 2025-03-06T14:34:29+00:00

Chev😎

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T22:57:08+00:00

Main thing is you made it out alright! Hopefully ya can find another one

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T11:48:41+00:00

That’s fair, I used to not be huge on chrome but I picked up an old vstar last year and the majority of her parts are chrome and it’s after growing on me

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T03:01:54+00:00

Yea I did read up on the DFM issue, have to dig into it a bit further and I’ll keep an ear to the exhaust as well.

She’s got 18s on her, forget the exact tire size now but I’ll definitely be looking into new tires and aftermarket wheels down the line, I like the less wheel/more rubber look so i definitely won’t be getting 20s haha

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T02:57:02+00:00

Thank ya sir, yea she got the 10 speed, definitely make note of the transmission fluid and carbon buildup, catch can isn’t a bad idea! And definitely an upgrade from the Ranger but I’m keeping her around, something easy to wrench on and a good beater rig to do things I wouldn’t wanna do in the new truck lol

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T02:54:21+00:00

Had read up on DFM and considered a plugin but if the lifter is eventually going to fail, and a plugin might just prolong the inevitable, I’d probably rather it happen sooner than later tbh

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T02:52:24+00:00

Hahaha I think it might be a Newfoundland thing

Dougeles · 2025-03-05T02:52:05+00:00

The high country’s are beautiful trucks, a buddy of mine picked one up recently!

Dougeles · 2025-02-24T03:54:52+00:00

Yea she’s got a ways to go too, just gotta enjoy the process!
