This is my 94 Ranger that I've had since 2003.
My family got it for free when my cousins grandpa moved to South Carolina and didnt think it was capable of making the trip down there. He told us it ran like crap and he didnt want to screw with it, so if we wanted it we could have it. I had the honors of driving it home from the back yard it was parked in and yeah, it ran like crap. I got it home and popped the hood only to find the air intake tube was disconnected at the intake manifold and half of the spark plug wires had been disconnected from the spark plugs. After discovering those things and fixing them, my dad and I decided to give the truck a full once over and also discovered the rear leaf spring hangers and front coil spring buckets were rusting out so we replaced them before putting the truck into service. My family members including myself, drove the truck on and off for the next four years until it started having cooling/heating issues and then we decided it would be an emergency backup vehicle.
