Teen Wolf for President!
Hello Everyone!

Just taking a second to introduce myself. I'm just a boy, standing in front of a girl, asking her to love him.

Terrible line. Never works. But I'm just a dude that is hopefully getting a Ranger in a month or so. Specifically, I'm set on buying my Dad's old 1999 4.0L XLT. I have a 4.6L Explorer as my daily driver and am looking to get a '17 Edge Sport for my wife so this Ranger is really just a labor of love. One I can imagine that's going to deplete my time & money. But if it's fun...:3gears:

I'm looking to not only do a thorough maintenance sweep, (if there's a filter or fluid to be found, I'm on it!), but will likely upgrade the brakes and see how practical it is to give the engine a little more kick. Once everything's mechanically sound, I'm setting my sights on upgrading the cosmetics and probably the audio system, (I have a strange fetish with playing the Milkshake song every morning when setting off to work).

Looking to learn a lot, document my progress, and share some tips with everyone. If there's a local meetup, I might even stop being antisocial for a minute. Somehow that means keys in the punchbowl! :hottubfun:

Welcome! Humor goes a long way around here. Mark_88 loves you already...he just doesn't know it yet. Good luck getting that Ranger.

Pop Quiz: Teen Wolf and Pedro both run for president, who do you vote for?

Thanks mate! And is that a trick question? You know I'm going with Martin Prince. He only needs two votes :rolleyes:

Welcome to TRS Joey~!

The title caught my attention and the subtle humour kept me reading...:)

I would suggest anything in any vintage as they all provide the essentials of happy motoring. I prefer the older models but that's just an old guy standing in front of an old broad looking to get laid...:beer:

You are so right...:)

But in a manly sort of love...:icon_thumby:
