Been lurking these forums for years and using much of the info here, going to start posting some so figured I’d make an account and introduction. I’m currently on my 5th Ranger that I refer to as my “forever Ranger”, it is a 1994 XLT long bed with a 3.0 v6 and auto trans, I originally wanted to go South and bring one back (I live where they salt in the winter, 95% of stuff that’s spent a few winters on the road here isn’t worth messing with) but my wife found this one in Detroit Michigan with 95k on it last year with MINIMAL rust (come to find out they use sand on the road in parts of Michigan instead of road salt, news to me) so I went and got it. Truck appears to never have been abused, though it does seem that it sat for a few years but after some suspension work and tune up stuff and new belts and hoses, I daily drove it last summer and have been daily driving it this summer as well, however I put it away as soon as they salt the roads in November for the first time and it doesn’t come out again until April. Before this one I had 4 other Rangers, my last one being an 06 b2300 which I absolutely loved and drove up until about 3 months ago but unfortunately rust got the best of the frame, but it owed me nothing, got me through this last winter. Going further there’s a few things I’d like to do to the Ranger this off season around getting my Eagle Talon put back together including dropping it a bit, had a 2/2 drop on my b2300 and would like to go a touch lower with the Ranger while keeping the ability to daily it in the salt free months.
