Hello folks,
My name is Matt. I am in Virginia about 30 minutes out of Richmond. I recently acquired my Ranger in a barter deal. I managed to trade an old jon boat that I got for free, for this 1996 Ranger STX with 4x4, 4.0, manual trans and limited slip rear end. Has new 31x10.5 AT's. Rides well even with the bigger tires. A new clutch was recently installed. Zero rust on frame and only minor surface rust on body.
Drove home over an hour with no issues. Previous owner had good record keeping habits. All services were performed at the dealer and it has been very well maintained since new.
First step is to chase down a few electrical gremlins and get it squared away for state inspection by the end of October.
I'm not really planning on doing too many modifications. I'd like to just do preventative maintenance and improve it's reliability. Most likely, just build a winch bumper and buy a Warn, then upgrade to HD shocks all around, possibly a new set of springs and leafs.
