Neat little truck with bonus quiz

[Shran]

Here's a cool little rig I ran across - 4 cylinder, 4x4 trucks are kinda hard to find! Unfortunately most of the glass is gone, I can't get a title and it has been sitting for a long time so it'll be a parts rig.

Quiz: what exactly makes this an exceptionally desirable truck? There are two things. Show me your Ranger knowledge!

Fun hater

I don't know. For me, the manual transmission and manual transfer case are good combination. Otherwise, it doesn't look like the rust is too terrible, its red and the body is pretty decent.

Factory 4:10s

It's got 4.10s and for some reason I want to lick that steering wheel...

And manual hubs!

The more I look at the photos, the more I like the truck.

You're halfway there! Actually 1/3 of the way... Factory Dana 35 with 4.10s. Open diff in the rear though.

I don't know. For me, the manual transmission and manual transfer case are good combination. Otherwise, it doesn't look like the rust is too terrible, its red and the body is pretty decent.

You're very close... Factory manual shift 1354!

Had a fairly beefy GVW too.

Want to trade? Have my 1996 2.3 4wd here to offer...

I'll just say it again... Shran has all the coolest stuff.

I see you guys bring this stuff home... and there has been a lot of good stuff brought home lately. Once I get moved and have a shop... I hope I have enough energy to bring home a cool project. But I'm thinking it's gonna be a New Sasquatched Bronco parked in the shop and me keeping my 06 running for as long as the rust factor keeps it useable.

Lemme know if you wanna get rid of that tailgate. I hate the giant aluminum plates and the holes underneath.

Don't forget the cool collapsible tiedown cleats on the side of the bed. Those are awesome!
