Big Buck Buster Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 The problem I see with a ranger(or any of that style) is the sheer size of the machine. Standard doors that are sold at the fish house manufactures are too small to fit them in. You would either have to pull it to the lake seperate, or customize the house to fit the ranger in.Just not worth it to me.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorav Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have a 4x4 ranger and its great. We pull the wheel house with it early season. Its alot warmer to drive with a cab on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfv87 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Have a friend that uses one and it looks slick. He has the box and the portable to have stuff in. Could pull the wheelhouse easily, but wouldn't fit inside. If he met you at the lake it would be perfect. He uses a trailer for the ranger and can get portable in the back of the truck.

WolfpackFishNGuy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Does your friend have any issues trailering it to the lake and does it feel its any more work than a wheeler?What size trailer does he have for it and I'm assuming its a utility trailer.

coombia21 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i believe the ranger might fit in the bed of a pickup i know a razr will for sure but not sure on the regular ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buck Buster Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 i believe the ranger might fit in the bed of a pickup i know a razr will for sure but not sure on the regular ranger Rangers are over 4 feet wide. Any pickup bed between the wheel wells is 4 foot. Rangers won't fit in the bed of a pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
