1988 "Fred Sanford Edition" Ranger XLT.

Digmenow · 10-02-2008, 09:15 AM

15" Jeep® Wheels with optional Jack Russell Terrier tire washer.

Highly desirable factory EZ Rust Roof finish option. (That'll buff right out!)

Mandatory bed rusting Shure-Leak toolbox.

Removable (single use only) tailgate lettering for sneaking into S10 events incognito.

Deluxe cup holder option (on the door). Note the Portable Rear View mirror atop the dash. The heavy tools that can't easily be hoisted into the Super Cab space are safely stashed on the passenger seat and floor space.

I bought it brand new and it was my daily driver for 10 years. The 2.9L's lifters tap faster than Gregory Hines in his prime sometimes and run smoothly at others. The clutch is new so it pulls like a draft horse. I keep intending to get rid of it and replace it with a full size truck (I so want an 8 foot bed) but it keeps passing the emission tests every two years.

Then, I suddenly realized it was 20 years old and it's not that far away from a complete resurrection. I still have all 5 original 14" wheels but I'd go larger and try for a slight drop.

Clean it, paint it, fix it. I don't know.

Thanks, A.L. If you're close to Anne Arundel County, I might need to hook up with you for some metal repair if you're up for that sort of thing.

**AngryLepercon** · 10-09-2008, 10:15 AM

I mean I would do it but im not gonna make a special trip unless you pay well lol. I will save your name and send a PM or something if im down that way.

Digmenow · 10-09-2008, 10:46 AM

That'll work and I would not expect anyone to work for free.

Real cheap, maybe but not free.

I'm thinking of asking TRS to open a section for all the "Fred Sanford Edition" Rangers out there. We could use the support.
