93 Ranger XLT 4x4
118k miles, 5spd, 4.0L
I picked this baby up for $600 bucks....the guy wanted $900 but given the amount of work it needed i just couldn't give him that.
The goods:
-body is solid, minimal bed rust
-aftermarket bed liner
-118k is low mileage for that year
-heads and head gasket were replaced a few years ago
-frame is solid
The bads:
-broken rear slider window
-chipped front windshield
-shackles and shackle mounts are toast (one is completely gone)
-clutch problem (i determined this to be a bad slave cylinder)
-shocks are toast
-lots of surface rust on frame and everything that bolts to it
- ball joints feel loose...maybe wheel bearings
The mission:
This is replacing my trusty BII. Make this an inspectable DD for home depot runs, homeowner hauling, etc., that will last me a long time (given the mileage is so low). Also put 2" of lift in it and 31" tires for some moderate off roading.
