- Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Drove a couple hours north and bought this over the weekend.
1996 2.3 2wd manual trans with around 215k on it. It's purpose is going to be split between winter beater duty and things like this..
I don't know which I'm more excited about.. not driving the Bronco through steel eating brine all winter.. or having something to unmercifully beat on and not feel bad after
This makes my 4th Ranger. Started with a 98 RCLB 2.3 2wd manual, then a 2010 RCSB 2.3 2wd manual, and the most recent was the '21 4 door 4x4.
It's good.. but not great.. probably the worst of the bunch lol.
-Leaks oil, has a slight miss, ghetto exhaust, scratches & dents all over, broken windshield, stupid rear bumper, beat up interior, one cab corner missing, shift knob pops right off, drivers seat belt wont latch, and the metal bits of the bed are about what you'd expect for a salt belt truck still... it's good enough!
It needs a little tinkering before I'm comfortable driving it all the time. Hoping for nice weather this weekend so I can start the process.
