Just bought a 1997 Ranger Supercab XLT 2WD. The body is in great shape and it only had 49,000 miles on it. So far I've replaced the broken/cracked front grille, added a tonneau cover, replaced the cruise control switches on the steering wheel and changed the oil. The front bench seat has a small center console that was loose and hanging off at an angle. I've managed to make it about 90% better but still can't figure out how to get it perfectly level. I also noticed that the coolant gauge never moves above the C so I figure it needs a new thermostat or maybe a coolant temperature sensor. Looking forward to learning about my new/old truck and figuring out what repairs and maintenance I can do on my own.
Here's a pic from the day I brought it home.
