got my Ranger home today
Me and my mom went to pick up the '92 Ford Ranger 4x4 I bought today. I paid $400, so it's not much to look at, but it will do better in the winter than the Rambler will.. has 197,000 miles but everything works. the 2.9 might have a slight head gasket leak but it doesn't get hot and doesn't blow steam out the tail pipe, and I really don't want to mess with it until it quits. has a non matching drivers door from a '89 but whoever did the swap, had the lock re keyed.. it's a 5spd and I was kinda rusty at that ( havn't driven manual in 3 years ).. so I had my mom drive it home, and I figured out how to drive manual again driving around by my house.. I did stall it 3 times, but I figured it out.... also, I might not know the rangers very well, but it looks like someone put 4" lift blocks in the rear.
after it's dutys as a winter beater are over, I will customize it a bit.. probably make a 4x4 30's looking RPU.You don't know what you've got til it's gone
