The girlfriend bought a 97 Ranger XLT, supercab shortbed. It has the 4.0 OHV and an auto, and is 2 wheel drive. It has 230,000 on the body and 40k on the drivetrain. I plan on changing the oil, belt and doing some body and interior work.
We named it the Beaner because of where we bought it, lol. It's a 97 XLT, 2wd 4.0 OHV auto. We are going to fix it up and build it bigger.
When we bought it:





Plans are:
  • fix up the body
  • bigger tires
  • lift
  • redo the interior
  • 4 wheel drive swap
  • drive it

Congrats on the beaner. I wish my wife would let me have that many cars. :)
Are you going to repaint the front tire panel, or keep that classy custom two-tone look?

We plan on a complete respray eventually. We got the new grille, headlights, fogs, 06 mirrors, tails and the 31s on it now. :)



How to make the 06 tails work without dealing with wiring:

By law you need amber bulbs for those front turn signals. Headlights look good.
