I've combed through the TRS help articles (EX - https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/1983-2011-ford-ranger-off-road-builders-guide/ ) and have come to conclusion I would like to get into a 1991 or 1992 4.0L 4×4 5-speed for a low-budget street-legal trail rig.
Knowing I will have all sorts of issues just trying to find my way as a newcomer on the Ranger platform, I don't want to also run into crippling parts availability problems...
I'm curious to know your thoughts on overall parts availability for a Gen 1 build vs a Gen2 build. Is the Gen 1 heyday behind us? Should I just stick to the Gen 2 in order to keep my project moving, keep the budget low, and keep my spirits high?
Thank you, everyone.
