Howdy! I guess we'll start out with a bit of an introduction. I've been driving my 1994 Ranger 2.3 2WD for the past four years as my daily driver. After last winter, I decided it might not be a bad idea to upgrade to a 4x4. I briefly owned a 1997 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 earlier this February for about a month, but after realizing what kind of hack work was done by the previous owner, I ended up selling it. This brings me to now. For the last month or so I've been on the hunt for a 4wd Ranger 1993 or newer. I've driven to just about every corner of the state looking for one, and I ended up finding this one only about 2 miles from where I live........ go figure...
Anyway, I can't complain. I picked this up two days ago. It's a 2004 FX4 Level II with a manual trans and 145,000 miles that I got for $3500. It was a little dirty on the inside and it was smoked in, but after about 3 hours last night, it cleaned up pretty well! The driver's seat is in pretty bad shape, but it's a truck and a daily driver so I'm not too worried. All it needs is a good service (air & fuel filter, oil change and some bulbs), fog light and a headlight retaining clip. So all in all, I'd say I got a fairly good deal.
Here's a few photos of the truck. If the cap was a painted fiberglass cap, I'd keep it but it's an ugly black aluminum one so it's coming off.
