Well I’ve been lurking around for awhile now, and figured it was time to “pay up” for your rather awesome Tech library (it truly does put other Tech Libraries I’ve used to shame). The $10 investment has already paid for itself already.
The toy that brought me here is a well loved ’94 Super Cab. Purchased from the original owner at 216k miles on the odometer. Thankfully, they were a well cared for 216k miles, as when I picked up the truck, the PO handed me a stack of service records (and even the original window sticker). However, that’s not to say there aren’t a few issues that I’ve been sorting through to get this truck back to where it needs to be (Intake gasket, rusty valve covers, broken electric windows, etc etc). But over all, its very solid for a Midwest truck, and I haven’t heard a high mileage motor sound this good in along time.
The day I picked it up:
And no, the faded graphics didn’t last long…
This ranger isn’t my first RBV that would be an ’84 BII that got stuck everywhere yet Jumped very well, but I can say that the ranger is the nicest RBV I’ve owned
Currently I’m making the transition from being a ‘pseudo-jeep’ guy as I am coming from the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) world. (Climbing Baby Bear down at Flat Nasty)
For those who might be interested in the XJ, You can find the build thread here at my Jeep clubs website <---Clicky
Starting to see a progression yet? Needless to say, the Ranger isn’t going to stay stock for long. The goal is to get the truck done before the XJ’s tags expire in March 2011. I’ve nearly completed gathering all the parts I need to start building the Ranger by the end of this month (wife permitting), so I’ll post up a build thread once some real progress starts.

. Either way, not that worried about it as it'll get here when it gets here. I would like my snazzy gold bar under my name though
