I'm posting here rather than in the for sale forum as I would rather just have a place to park it for awhile rather than to sell it... but if I have to I'll sell it.
What it comes down to is that my Ranger got wrecked awhile ago when I slid off the road. I'm not sure yet if it's worth fixing or not. Even if it is worth fixing, it's gonna be awhile before I can fix it. I figured that I could drive my choptop in the mean time, but I'm having trouble getting it inspected (I've been told that there are new laws that make it nearly impossible to get a lifted truck inspected around here). Plus I had a large tree branch fall on it and do some damage with those bad winds we've been having. So I'm looking at getting another truck to drive until I can do something about my pickup an my choptop. But to do that I've been told that I have to get rid of my 88 and my 89 ranger cab along with all my spare parts. The parts an Ranger cab are going in my shed (or at least they will as soon as I can get through all the mud to get them put in the shed), but the 88 needs a place to go. And it has to go within the next month or so.
Truck does not run, I have a 4.0 in and bolted up, just never puzzled out the wiring yet to make it go. Interior carpet is trashed, there's a water leak behind the dash on the passenger side. Seats are good but could use a cleaning. Some rust holes here an there that need patched up. Like I said, I'd like to just have a place to stick it till I can get things under control around here. I figure if it can disappear for a couple months, I have intentions of building a carport to stick it in over the summer. If I have to sell it to get it out of here, then so be it. I'd like to see a couple hundred for it if it has to be sold, I have over $250 into doing the 4.0 swap and I have more than that into the truck itself, but I'm not expecting to get all of my money since it doesn't run.
Any takers to help me out? I can transport it if need be...
