What's going on folks. Just recently bought my 2nd ranger and forgot how charming of a little truck they really are. First truck was a 90 2.3 5speed xl regular cab no frills truck that I swapped an SVO Mustang head and boosted, dropped on dream beams with 17" mustang wheels and loved it. New one is a 97 2.3 manual XLT extended cab that is so stock it's not funny, even has the factory cassette deck. But it's my daily driver and weekend warrior.

Sadly no pics of my first truck because camera phones sucked in the early 2000s

It earned it's weekend warrior status yesterday because me and the wife decided to design and build a new bed instead of dropping 500+ on one...

What is up with that Dodge? Something just looks odd about it.

Yes, I do believe that, combined with the jack stands under the front, explains it.

Been trying to get the oil pan replaced in it... But my work schedule doesn't give me the time needed to knock it out
