I got a new DD a week or so ago. :yahoo: Just haven't had the time to take some pics to share. I bought an 88 Ranger XLT ex. cab. 2.9,FM 146?, Manual bw1350. only rust is on the bed. It belonged to a family friend who towed it behind his camper everywhere, so all the miles are highway and with the engine not running :). My dad worked at the dealership where it was traded in and his best friend bought it used the same time he bought his 86.

On with the pix!



I put on some fog lamps and found a good use for that towbar

Me and dad built some solid oak racks so I can help haul firewood.



I thought what a good place to strap the spare.



I swapped in my explorer buckets and console as well. Then put the ranger seats in the explorer to sell it :icon_twisted:.



And my two favorite trucks together :)
