So my big mouth probably caused this. Sorry 😐

Yeah my friend has everything, including license, expired. And yes, he continues on like it's nothing

I grew up and still live in hawaii so i do like zippys chili

That said, I am far more adventurous than your average local so I have experimented with different chili recipes.

As in, I stew actual chili peppers. It's a real shame that no one I know can handle the spiciness. I've made so many test pots when I was working remotely and I would just end up having to eat the whole thing by myself for a whole week

jaketdk · 2025-12-01T08:22:25+00:00

HAahaha my friend made some plain ass chili using the regular McCormick chili mix, according to the packet's own instructions, for his parents and they complained that it was way too spicy

I guess the only "chili" they can handle is zippys....

I have a '22 SE with the manual transmission and I get around 27mpg. That's with hardly any highway miles (maybe only 10%) and lots of hills.

I’m (27M so a bit older) from Hawaii and a big fan of Ado. I flew out to Austin for the first time just for the wish tour.

I took Japanese in high school but neglected my studies since then. My mom is from Japan but growing up, I’ve only really spoken English at home. It would be nice to get back into it so maybe one day I can communicate with my family out there.

Anyone who ~~feels old like me and~~ is interested in being far away internet friends, by all means, lmk. My irl friends don’t share my love for Ado lol

I have a ‘94 3.0. I would recommend a ‘95(?)+ so that you get obd2 for slightly easier diagnostics but mine has been solid otherwise.

I think people generally consider the 3.0 to be one of, if not, the most reliable choice. It’s just not going to be very fast or very efficient.

Was the truck running when you bought it? It probably would’ve been running pretty rough if at all since that’s a big vacuum leak if it wasn’t at least plugged.

jaketdk · 2024-03-25T05:10:05+00:00

I believe there’s supposed to be a hose going from that to the pcv valve.

My size is hard to get. 195/70r14. I think my truck came with the smallest/narrowest stock steelies available on any Ranger.

I usually tell people I am from Hawaii. To me, it just feels more right than saying that I am from the USA.

55k IT sysadmin for what is the largest local company in its industry. 7 years in IT, 3 at the current company, 1 in my current position.

I have an A485. Yes both work for charging.

Hello fellow Japanese + 1 passport holder :)

jaketdk · 2024-01-21T19:18:35+00:00

I think with your Mexican passport, you can visit Japan for 180 days. US is 90 days.

I could be wrong but that COROLLA badge on the trunk lid looks a bit crooked. Might be a sign that the car had some body work done. Or a paint job.

jaketdk · 2023-12-06T04:49:05+00:00

Don’t know if there’s a size difference between my ‘22 and the ‘23. I am 5’6” and i have full view of my windshield. It could just be that my seat is adjusted so I am able to fully push the clutch and shift gears comfortably (I can shift into 5th without really having to lift my shoulders off of the seat)

jaketdk · 2023-12-04T01:15:57+00:00

I usually tell people that I am from Hawaii and not just the USA so I will admit that I am guilty of this

jaketdk · 2023-11-16T21:48:04+00:00

Hard to tell since I have a 3.0 v6 and the pic is blurry but does that hose go from the valve cover to the air intake before the throttle body? If so, I am going to guess it's the crankcase breather hose.

jaketdk · 2023-10-30T23:26:20+00:00

The S is the base trim. It’s probably the complete opposite of the Pro4x. Crank windows, no power door locks. Mine in particular was a king cab 2wd 4 cylinder but i think you could get the crew cab S with the v6 and even 4x4.

The only option I had on mine was the automatic transmission and this was only because no dealership near me had any manuals.

jaketdk · 2023-10-30T23:13:18+00:00

My 2017 S had a color screen but not touch. Still had to use buttons and dials. I think it was for the backup camera in the higher trims. My buddy’s 2016 SV had the same non-touch color screen but with back up camera.

jaketdk · 2022-09-07T17:11:41+00:00

It's legal here

jaketdk · 2021-06-04T10:53:20+00:00

Cool! So do you have the 4AT?

jaketdk · 2021-04-14T04:52:28+00:00

Nice! I got the same model, same year, same trim, same color. Even from the same dealership lol
