Hi, I just picked up a super tidy 1996 ranger XLT 4x4. Supercab, auto, one owner, 125k miles for a song ($3150). It's my first ranger but my third Ford pickup the others being a 78 f150 with a 390 and a 79 f100 with the 300-6 (god I loved that truck). I sold off my old Volvo wagon that had been acting as my truck for several years and bought a Miata. It really is a great little car but it cant haul anything so i went shopping for a truck and landed on this one. I just kind of fell into it after driving across town to look at a 05 ranger that turned out to have terrible timing chain noise and dents in all the panels. I scrolled CL for a minute and found a ranger close by to go look at. What a creampuff, it was driven occasionally to the dump and on camping trips, meticulously maintained. my plans are maybe a 2" lift, some 31" AT's and maybe a LSD in the rear and a auto locker up front and that's it. It's going to be a light duty farm truck in my orchard and I just don't want to get stuck. If any one wants the fx4 bed rails you can have them.
Enough talk, on to the pics.
