Well after some consideration. I have decided that my 1992 rangers second auto transmission failure that the cost to repair the transmission would be greater by far then to just get another vehicle.

I went. I saw. I paid 500 on the spot.
It needs: muffler and tail pipe.
Front shocks are on their way out but not quite done.
Service to either the transfer case or shifter motor(I have 2 spares now) Since it has issues going in to 4x4 I am suspecting it just needs a motor service.
The air conditioning does not work(minor issue)
And a power steering line(not sure which one yet).
The previous owner has a receipt for 2200 dollars for a rebuilt transmission already in it.
I would have preferred another ranger over the explorer for the bed. And I dont yet know if it has a limited slip rear end or not, or what its gear ratio is yet, it has drum brakes in the rear and a 4 wheel abs system as well.
It also has almost new winters on it(crappy ones) lots of tread on them and another set of summer ones also with lots of tread. I am going to end up with something like 16 tires for this thing. I wont have to buy a set for 5 years at least LOL.
